Oskar's Adventures: A Day of Laughter and Learning
Today, I want to dedicate my thoughts to Oskar, our spirited 3-year-old explorer. There's something magical about the way he views the world, and I find myself cherishing every moment with him.
Climbing Everywhere
We’ve officially entered the climbing phase. Oliver has figured out how to get onto the couch and even the stairs if we’re not watching. He’s fearless—and we’ve got baby gates everywhere now!
Learned to Count to 20
Anna proudly counted to 20 today without any help! She now counts everything she sees, from toys to snacks.
First Taste of Cake
At a family birthday party, Oliver tried cake for the first time. His face lit up after the first bite, and he happily smeared frosting everywhere. Definitely a sweet moment to remember!
First football practice
Oskar attended his first football practice today. He was a bit shy at first but soon ran after the ball with full energy, cheering happily when he scored a goal.

Birth
As the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2024, the world welcomed not just a new year, but also a new life. Our little Oliver made his grand entrance, turning what was already a momentous occasion into the most unforgettable night of our lives. The journey to this point has been a mix of excitement, anticipation, and, admittedly, a few nerves. The weeks leading up to his arrival were filled with preparation—assembling the crib, folding impossibly tiny clothes, and wondering what kind of person he would become. Would he have my curiosity or his father’s calm demeanor? When the moment finally came, it was as if time itself paused. The world outside, with its celebrations and fireworks, faded into the background. All that mattered was the small, perfect boy cradled in my arms. His first cries were both a relief and a symphony—a declaration of life and love. Oliver has already proven to be full of surprises. Born on the first day of the year, he’s given us the perfect fresh start, a reason to cherish every new day with renewed gratitude. His tiny hands and curious eyes hold a future that feels limitless, a blank page waiting to be filled with adventures, milestones, and memories. Now, just a few hours old, he has already brought so much joy to our family. The house feels different—warmer, brighter, more alive. I can’t help but dream about all the New Year’s Days we’ll celebrate together in the years to come, each one a marker of the incredible journey that began today. Welcome to the world, Oliver. You are loved beyond measure.
