spain

Dear Noah,

This trip was the beginning of a tradition a year ago  and now you are a partaker, along with 2 other new members Oda Elise ,and Matteo. Your new friends are really cool kids just like their parents.

Almayate is an enchanted spanish city outside of Malaga. This is a place where the soul lives in a cocoon of happiness and sun. You awake by the roosters bungle and fall asleep with the mellow donkey calls in the distance. Sunrise will win any heart over and when it retires to the west it evokes tears. I want to thank you for the good mornings out on the terrace and our midnight conversations in the dark. 

Love,

Daddy

mama’s words

Dear Noah :)

It is now over a month since we’ve posted anything on your blog… you are definitely keeping mamma and daddy busy! And daddy has become a student again, so mamma is going to write a little in the blog too :)

You are now 3 months old, weigh 6700g and are 62cm long. You smile a lot and make new sounds every day – you make us laugh ALL the time (who needs TV for entertainment??). You can even grab your toys (or daddy’s hair) now, and you won’t let go easily! Spending time in the baby gym is one of your favorite pass-time activities, and you love taking naps in the cradle swing. Some routines (dare I say the word?) have started to fall into place now, you go to sleep around 8-9 o’clock at night and sleep until around 1-2. It is kinda strange to have several hours without you in the room! But luckily you are not too far away, so if we miss you too much we go and sneak a peak at you.Yesterday daddy just had to pick you up from your bed – because you are so adorable when you sleep! Your stick your butt out in the cutest way ever when we pick you up sleeping! And we could write a book about your different facial expressions :D

the life of a jet setter

Dear Noah,

We bought 2 planes tickets for you before you were born and now you are a certified jet setter and a Norwegian citizen. Mom and I set up a photo shoot on the bathroom floor for your passport picure. We got your passport in the mail 2 weeks later and laugh at the line that states “NOT ABLE TO SIGN”. It makes me think about the day i will guide your little hand as we write out slowly N-O-A-H.

One active sunday

Dear Noah (aka Man Man),

Its week 7 of your life and there is so much we have learned. You now weigh over 6015g (13lbs) and 56cm (22inches) in length, well thats what you new passport says.  Mama and I are starting to witness the power of your core shaking smiles and sounds of happiness that could touch any heart. Some parents say that you should appreciate the time while the child is still small, which i understand. But I am looking forward to all the new things you will introduce to us in the near future. 

Here are some things you like: fennel tea, nose touches, mama’s lotion massages, your beloved pacifier, diaper free peeing, daddy’s triple kisses, sleeping beside us, baths, and last but not least, Tante Ingrids soooothing sily walk.

night, day, and rolling in the new

Dear Noah,

It’s only your third day home, but an every eventful one non-the less.  I really enjoy watching you sleep and your favorite sleeping spot is stomach to stomach with mama or me. The nights are filled with the soft sounds of your breaths and wall dancing shadows. Sometimes your sounds wake me with a head filled of intrigue. I spend time trying to read your facial expressions in the darkness of the night.

Daytime, you had visitors. Mor mor , Mor Far, and tante Maria came to see you.  They brought the stroller that mama was pushed in when she was young. To think, there is another generation of Vorraa to grace the inside of it’s flower-patterned interior. It is awe-inspiring.
