After saying farewell to Mops and Pops in the UK, we flew over to Sweden to visit the gorgeous, most hospitable of friends - John, Sal and Arjun. We caught an evening flight, which again was totally out of the norm for the little man, but once again he just went with it and was totally chilled. My only small complaint would be that on take off, I breastfed Jed (helps clear his ears) and he fell asleep, but not before doing the most hugest poo (tennis ball size) just before. So here I have this beautiful rare moment where my gorgeous son is calmly and so cutely asleep in my arms but with this nasty stench warming my lap - I guess thems the breaks!
The major highlight for Jed would have to be that he found first gear! Yep - little man is crawling and crawling forwards! After a couple of months of backward commando moves, it was pure pleasure to see him finally move forward. We'd been in training for weeks - placing tantalizing objects (beer bottles being his favourite) in front of him hoping to lure him forward, only to see him shuffle himself backwards, further away from the object. A few times I've taken my eyes off him for a second to find him reversed under the couch with only his head and arms sticking out. He didn't seem frustrated (attention span is still extremely short) but he was certainly looking pretty happy with himself when he finally got the moves right.
Jed also indulged in some traditional Swedish cuisine. While travelling, he certainly had his fair share of jar baby foods (to my disgust but what are you going to do?). Being in a country where ingredients on labels are not in English, Jed was introduced to a variety of new flavours. I'd generally go for the jars with vegetables displayed on the label but we thought we'd see if he'd like a little fish. The jar had some fish meat, potatoes and herbs on the label - looked pretty good to me. Sal tells us that it was a very traditional Swedish dish and hey, we were in Sweden after all.... Jed didn't mind it either, the only problem was, it left the most intense after smell on his little breath! Very fishy and very dilly - ugh.. And unfortunately little man is too young for toothpaste or mouthwash so we just had to sit it out.
We also just want to say a massive thank you to our fabulous hosts - you guys are the best and it was absolutely lovely to see you all again. We miss you all xxxxxoooo
