Ei-me-ette-tea

 On first of May we are going to celebrate 1 year in our new home. We bought our apartment just a week before the first corona lockdown in Denmark last year. At the beginning there was a bit fare of what will happen with apartment prices but apparantely the prices have increased ever since. Our hunt had actually lasted already for about 2 years. First we wanted to but an apartment in a project. The bank said that they will approve it if Kevin will sell his apartment first. So that what he did, but then the bank wanted us to have at least 1 million DKK in a bank account, so we just gave up our booing. It was actually a good choice since in the end we got better and cheaper place. Building on the left is our home💗 CRITERIA Before buying our home we went to look only 2 more places. I say that we bought a place quite randomly where as Kevin says that he had monitored the market for long time. 😀 At the beginning we also considered a house, but it would have been more further from the ...

The second half of Nolan´s first year was full of changes. If the first half of the year he mostly laid still and looked around, then the second half he became more mobile and started showing his real personality. The biggest change for me was that I started working again after being away from work 9 months. Nolan was then 7,5 years old and started with daycare. Kevin also took a paternity leave for 3 months, so he was the one who started taking Nolan to daycare. Below some highlights. Nolan 1 year old 1. DEVELOMPENT Nolan started crawling around 7,5 months. I call it level 1 crawling since it is by pushing himself through the floor with hands 😀 The real crowling on his fours started a bit after he started in daycare, he was around 8,5 months old. I think the other children who already walked in the vuggestue had a positive impact on that. At the same time he also started going to sitting position independently. He could already sit without support when he was 7 month old, but we did ...

 Tegelikult tahaks hullult kirjutada oma reisiseiklustest, kuid olude sunnil peab leppima kodusemate teemadega. 😀 Loodetavasti varsti, varsti saab jälle reisile. Päikselise ilmaga tuju alati hea ÜLDISELT TAANI EMAPUHKUSE TINGIMUSTEST Aga siis emapuhkuse teemal. Kokku olin ma siis töölt eemal 9 kuud. Sellest 1,5 kuud olin enne Nolani sündi kodus ja siis kui Nolan oli 7,5, läksin tagasi tööle. Kui Eesti arvutatkse emapuhkust päevades, siis Taanis nädalates. Kokku on tasustatud puhkust kusagil 1 aasta ja makstav summa sõltub firmast, kus sa parasjagu töötad. Emapuhkusele on võimalik minna 4 nädalat enne tähtaega ja siis saad täis palka. Mul läks tähtaeg peaaegu 2 nädalat üle nii, et sain kokkuvõttes rohkem raha, aitäh Nolan! 😀  Pärast sündi hakkab jooksma emapuhkus, mis on 12 nädalat ja üldiselt firmad maksavad siis ka täispalka. Pärast seda hakkab jooksma vanemapuhkus, mida saab siis nii ema kui isa kas korraga võtta või siis ära jagada. Mina sain siis kokku 6 kuud täispalka, ...

Actually I wanted to make a post about first half year with the baby but Nolan became 7 months old before I could write about it. Baby changes very fast during first year so it also makes sense to write the update every month (I do it in my notebook) but since time is limited I will just cover the longer time frame. This also gives the chance view the improvement and see the change of behaviour. In our garden in Estonia 💚 (7 months old) NIGHT SLEEP Baby`s sleep is always a hot topic. Looking back I can see that sometimes it gets better and then it gets worse again so it is like a rollercoaster. I guess it depends on the mental development. From the beginning Nolan`s crib has been by our bed. At the beginning there was a babynest inside. When he was small I always put him back to his crib since I was afraid that if I let him stay in our bed then I will hit him during night or the blanket will fall on him. Then during 3-4 months his sleep got worse. If at the beginning he slept ...
