A few pictures from a family photoshoot in march this year :)

Some of my favorites

Kristofer TV star :)

Well I know it has been a while since I blogged. I have been
busy writing my Master thesis in Social work and I’m almost done with that….so
I will get my life back! A lot has happened since last time, I won few backing
competitions, one for chocolate cookie and one for the best cupcake of the year
2011, maybe I will post the recipe on here soon.

The reason I’m
blogging today though is that I wanted to share with you an interview of us
that was on the news last night, it was about Kristofer and our story. I know
you don’t understand a word but at last you can see Kristofer and his sister
playing and having fun. I have gotten a few emails from people that have had
children with special needs and others telling me that I touched there hart…but
that was the whole reason why we decided to on this show.

I’ll promises
to blog more often after Monday….then I will turn in my masterpiece!

Have a good
weekend

Here is the

2nd Birthday!

On february 27th Kristofer turned 2 years old!!! and one week before his birthday he started walking :) that was a good birthday present to himself I would say.

The house was full of guests and Kristofer had so much fun....he is not that interested in open his present’s jet so he got is big cousin taking good care of that….and he didn’t hate that I tell you.

Well here are some pictures from his birthday….but something went wrong with my camera so the pictures are not that clear.

And Kristofer got this doll from is grandma, he loved it but his dad not so much hahaha

daddy helping out with the cake!

Finally walking!!!

Well me and Kiddi was talking the other day and we was always hoping for Kristofer to start walking before christmas.....that didn´t happen so we said before his two years old birthday.....but it looked like he would not make that eather.....svo we said summer. But the other day when Kristófer was playing he just stood up all by himself and did it again and again, then few days later he start walking!! We are so proud and happy for him and he is also very proud of himself, he clap´s his hands for few minutes every time he walks :) that is the cutest!

After his sister was born on june 19th he has always been very intrested in her and likes to play with her, now she is 8 month old and is standing up on her own and walking with the furniture.....I dont know if that is way Kristofer start walking or if she is so quick before him....but I guess soon they will both be walking.

on february 27th Kristófer vill turn 2 years old and we are having is b-day party on saturday.....Cars theme, so mama needs to start practicing baking and cake decorating! o boy! I will post picturse of his birthday and the big birthdayboy after the weekend!


Kristofer and Hildur Emelia, he loves his sister!

The tongue goes all they way out......to much concentraition I guess

Finally it snowed in Iceland.....it´s been so warm!

Kristóer and daddy making a snowman!

Almost walking and loving the TV!

Now Kristofer is 20 months old and my litle one that got the name Hildur Emelía 4 months, time flies!! Hildur is my mothers name and she was very proud that her grandchild got her name.....but she also told me that she felt old about it hahahaha....o well! Her christening was very memorable, the priest was so tense and kind of "out of it" with litlebit of alzheimer so the ceromony was repeated two times! and we said the same prayer 3 times in a row! I had to try to behave myself not to laugh out loud up at the altar but the hole church was! but at last she got her name and we will never forget this day.

Well Kristofer still likes his sister a lot and thinks she is very interested and wants to pat her head and say aaahhhhh all the time it is the cutest! Kristofer is now walking against all the furniture and is standing up almost everywere, this is such a big step and I'm so proud, all of a sudden he got so big when he starting doing this, and is not only crawling on his bum all the time. And now we are hoping that he will start walking around christmas, but kristofer is so careful that he will not do that until he is 100% save on his feet, we know he can do it already because he has been on his own for few seconds and the time he realized it he falls on his bum.....but hopefully sooner then later cause I'm getting kind of tired carrying the both of them all over the place.

He has also gotten very interested in the TV and is standing almost IN the TV and pointing at it, not so popular with the parents!

Kristófer watching TV

Kristofer is doing so well at his kindergarten he just started Early Behavioral Intervention that is usually used on children with autism but is working so well, he is only the second baby with Down syndrome here in Iceland that get this training and we are so happy with the outcome so far, the other boy that had it at his kindergarten stopped using a diaper at age of 3!! and he knows all the letters in the alphabet and a hole lot more. Kristofer is doing very well and is starting to say so many words and I think he knows around 30 signs. He is already making his number 2 in his potty almost every night so we se what will be.

Well it´s been a while since I wrote something on here last time so I wanted to write few lines about what has been happening over here in Iceland.

Here are some pictures of my beautiful angels :)

It´s starting to get cold over here in Iceland.....Im so not ready for it! but I look forward to christmas !!!

Kristofer is very happy with his little sister and if he could have it his way he would be playing with her and hugging her all day long :) here are some picturse of the two of them. Kirstofer 18 months and the little one (that dosent have a name yet) 9 weeks old.

Kristofer is a big brother now !!

I know it has been a while since I wrote something on here, but having two babys staying at home can be tough and some things you are going to do during the day...well you just cant get over everything.

Well on June 19th a litle perfect girl was born at Reykavík´s hostpital, she was 8.4 lbs and 20.9 inch long.

The delivery only took about 4 hours something else then last time that was over 24 hours, and it felt good that we could just go home the day after and not have to stay at the NICU. We are so happy and we cant belive that we have two babys now, because two years ago we had none.

Kirstófer is so happy with his little sister and wants to kiss her and hug her all the time (sometimes little to much) hahahaha but at last he is very nice to her and thinks she is a very exciting new member of our family.

Here are some picturse of the two of them
