After cleaning around 200 ml of baby vomit out of the taxi, Little Bear, his aunty and I took the plane. Of course, if it were possible I'd also suggest you avoid being in a plane, probably somewhere over Denmark, when you're baby might decide to do the biggest poo he's done in weeks. I carried him for the second time in 5 minutes to baby-changing room at the other end of the plane getting some sympathetic looks on the way. Then the stewardess asked me whether I 'wanted any help'... Odd I thought: why would anyone need help changing their baby? Then I realised the poo hadn't been limited to his nappy, or his own clothes...
Here we've started a few games that are leading to endless giggles. One where he's put in the centre of the living room, and roles all the way to the side (shit, not a good sign. He was easy to contain before). Another where I tickle him and pretend to eat him whilst he tries to role away giggling or attacking me back (usually through hair pulling and face slaps).
Mamma's flying in later today. Pappa's looking forward to a full night's sleep after two weeks.

It sounds like you're having a lovely holiday! I'd love to take my daughter to Sweden someday - it was the first country I ever visited and it's where my grandmother was from, so I'd love to go back. #fortheloveofBLOG

Love this post, it reminded me of the good times I had in Sweden with work. Such a lovely culture. (Especially fika - not sure if I've spelt that correctly, sorry!) looks like you're having an amazing summer with family, baby looks incredibly happy, he obviously loves the swinging! So does ours! I'm sure it does no permanent damage 😂 Lovely post, thank you! #fortheloveofblog

Ahh sounds lovely and as though he's really coming on! I love the term "Swinglish" - I've never heard that before! What a lucky little guy travelling so much already #MarvMondays x

It's lovely sharing a new baby around family, isn't it? Gorgeous photos and I love your game - it reminded me of one my girls' dad used to do: the baby was a rocket launching! Alison #MarvMondays

Wow, two whole weeks on your own! I dont blame you for looking forward to a full nights sleep. I'm not sure I could handle two weeks on my own with the little one. That said, it looks and sounds like youre having a lovely time! I hope the rest of your holiday is going well and the weather has been good to you all ;-) Thanks for sharing this on #MarvMondays. Emily
