Summer holidays in Sweden

So I was looking through my pictures to Sweden to post on the blog, surely I must have taken some shots of geourgous summer Stockholm ? The old houses in Gamla Stan? The brige and sea at Strandvägen ? The classic shot At Slussen? Apparently not! Apart from a zillion photos of my little girl , which I keep private I had photos of food... Food... And more food!

I love Greek and Mediterranean cuisine but being away from Sweden makes me truly miss these dishes:   

                 

     Swedish meatballs with mashed poatatoes and jam.

                 

Toast with Shrimps

                 

Swedish style bouillabaisse

               

Smörgåstårta

     

Big big girl

Everyone says that when you have a baby you understand time and just how fast and precious it is. Only with a little infant constantly growing, developing and learning you understand the passage of time. I have to pinch myself in order to believe that over 10 months passed since darling M joined our family. Today she is 75 cm tall, 9 kilos and just the sweetest, coolest little person I ever met. She can walk , not very sturdy , but on her own. She can say mama, kaka and cookoo. (The last we dont know from Where she picked it up) She loves music and starts dancing as soon as she hers it. Especially when she hears Pharell and Marinakis (Greek good looking pop singer). M loves swimming and playing with water. Chicken with carrots, corn and potatoes is her fav lunch. And banana - avocado her favorite morning snack. M has 6 teeth, super white and sharp. And a smile... A smile that makes my heart melt... And a laughter, from the bottom of her belly, with is the happiest sound I ever heard...
