Spring is really here and today we had 15 C outside, it feels like heaven. Crocus, tulips and daffodils are on their way in our flower beds, although we have a hare in the surroundings who thinks our garden is a smorgasbord. I've seen him running through our garden at night, he has to be careful or he will end up on our dinner table...
We bought a lot of shoes while in China but they are still too big for Linnea's feet so we had to go shoe shopping the other day. Which she 
didn't find too funny. She cried her heart out as soon as the shop assistant showed the tape measure to find out which size she needed. We ended up buying a pair of shoes in the size I assumed she would use and when we got home we had to bribe her with a cracker and she let us put the new shoes on. They fit perfectly and she walked around proudly in the house the entire afternoon in her new shoes.

Today we received the final adoption acceptance from court and we are now Linnea's legally parents! Now we can apply for her Swedish name and get a passport and so on. My sister in Vancouver is about to move to a new apartment and I really want to go and visit her! Now we can but we think the long flight is just too much for Linnea, perhaps later this year.
This weekend we got daylight saving-time and it hasn't affected Linnea very much, we still go by our feeding and sleeping schedule as before. She has two new teeth and another one on it's way but her mood hasn't changed much because of this. Perhaps she drools a little bit more but that's all. A couple of weeks ago we went to the pediatrician to get the vaccin cocktail Linnea needed and they told us Linnea may get a fever and be a bit cranky in the afternoon. We were quite surprised to see that Linnea's reaction to this vaccination was just the opposite; it was as if they had given her some kind of speed, she has never been more alert and ran around laughing and smiling the rest of the day. In total, she is happy and smiling most of the day, she loves to sit in her car seat, she smiles and waves at people in the grocery store, she loves to take a bath and splash water all over us while laughing out loud, she loves to eat whatever we feed her and she falls asleep calmly in the evening. What more can we ask for?
Time for dinner, see you later!
