 |
| Shhcuzzze mee bartender! I'll have another glass of that delicious milk, please. Wait, make it a double! What do you mean -- no, I haven't had too much to drink! Really, I just have big bones. Yes, I do look like one of the characters in Star Wars, but that's not me. |
 |
| I'm exhausted after all that eating... |
 |
| Out and about with the pram. Winter is coming... |
 |
| Baby boot camp II: Showing off my push up skills to my friend Melissa. She's four times my age, but I try to keep up. Or at least not drool. Too much. |
 |
| Anna's colleague Monica came by for a visit |
 |
| Cuddle time with daddy. The dress was a gift from my colleagues Kurt and Ingela |
 |
| Overall, I'm quite happy with life |
