Maud 2 - 1 Henny

Henny, like most babies, spends a huge amount of time sleeping. Most of the days since we arrived home she has slept on one of us, as after not being able to hold her properly for the first few weeks we now can't bear to put her down. We're going to create a monster, i can see it coming, a baby that won't sleep unless we are holding her, eeek - we need Henny addiction therapy.
Of course the time arrives when it's just not practical to hold her near, enter the second coming of 'the magic bag'. I&I veterans will remember it like it was yesterday. Possibly.
Doesn't seem to have lost it's powers of sleep inducement during it's two year hibernation either. Henny, just as her sister before her succumbs to its mysterious force just as readily.
The magic bag let us experience and enjoy a relatively pain free first major trip out to Oslo city centre as a family of four.
A leasurely stroll down town followed by some shopping (Henny necessary items only, naturally) followed by pizza, followed by a trudge up the hill home just to finish us off.

The magic bag doing it's stuff.



Maud, erm, recapturing her youth.



Wondering what the 2 - 1 title is all about?
Lucky the pizza place had, as my family would have it, nice facilities. Dirty nappy count goes in Mauds favour but Henny did pull out the old chestnut of weeing while in mid nappy change - rendering many items of clothing unwearable.
So a 2 - 2 might be more just.
