Home "alone"

This week, Jason had to travel for work and was gone from sunday to sunday. My parents also went to Belgium, which resulted in me having a very busy (but fun) week - The days just flew by. As usual, we spent the morning together (which tends to be easy going with a nice family breakfast, getting dressed, playing downstairs or going to the store or for a walk, then we have lunch) and in the afternoon Kaio went to nursery (which he continues to love), the 'hectic' part is after Kaio gets home from nursery: most of the time I need to feed both kids, get some play time in, bath them, get them ready for bed (give Josefine the bottle, read a book to Kaio, brush his teeth, etc) and put them to bed! With Jason's help the bathing and putting to bed is done in 45min, by myself it is more like 1 1/2hrs. However, Kaio is such a big boy now that he is able to undress, help bath Josefine and dress himself! (and he quietly watches TV while I give Josefine the bottle)
When we went to the airport to pick up Jason, both of them had huge smiles when they saw Jason. It was very cute and showed how much they missed him. (as had the same feelings!)
Kaio had a Halloween party this week and really enjoyed getting dressed up! I got him a mask and a cape and he really loved being all dressed up to go to school.

I was explaining to Kaio our family "structure" and his last name. So now, when someone asks him what his name is, he says - KAIO BERNARD HALLLLLL! (before he would say Kaio Bernard). So then I asked him what Daddy's name was and he said - "Jason Lewis HALLLLL" and Josefine? - "Josefine Maia HALLLLLL" and me? - "MOMMY HALLLLLL"
Josefine has 4 teeth already and completely masters crawling and standing up (with the help of furniture, my legs, toys, etc)


She is also very good in finding her balance and is able to stand, without support for several seconds! She is sleeping very well and is very comfortable with the bottle (although she still has no interest in pacifiers). She is eating all kind of foods and most of the time she accepts them well! She started pointing at things when they catch her attention - like a bird, at books, when the TV is on - she uses her middle finger though!
