The Adventures of Lola

Getting down

2010-03-04T21:10:00.002+01:00

Lola loves X Factor... and she's got some pretty good moves!

Lola's second birthday

2009-02-01T14:38:00.003+01:00

11/2/2008

Lola loved her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake that Grandma made her! We had a special early birthday party at Grandma's house before Lola and I had to fly back to Denmark. She got two birthday parties, two years in a row - lucky girl. I think she might be a little spoiled, but that's okay :-)

The baby's new bed

Lola's baby's new bed is lots of fun. But the poor baby gets dropped on her head over and over again. Hopefully no one calls child and family services on Lola. I don't think she means it!

Bathtime ABCs

Lola enjoying her bath while singing her latest version of the ABCs. Unfortunately the evil version is too long to post - it's pretty funny.

More swimming

2008-12-05T21:04:00.003+01:00

Oh, the fun we have. Good times as usual at swimming...

The candy necklace

2008-12-05T20:51:00.003+01:00

Lola got a candy necklace at Christoffer's work's Christmas party. I finally had to "hide" it in the garbage when she wasn't looking! Everything in the house was sticky!

Swimming time again

2008-09-30T15:54:00.004+02:00

Here's a few new "diving" videos from swimming last night. Lola probably shouldn't have been swimming as she's been a bit sick the past week, but she just loves it so much. So, swim she did. Please ignore the snotty nose and red eyes.

Some classics

2008-09-21T22:03:00.008+02:00

I dug up some "oldies but goodies." Here's a bath scene (in the living room!!) from July 7, 2007 - Tour de France is on in the background. I'm thinking this was the reason for the unconventional bath setting.

From July 5, 2007 - Lola backing herself underneath the piano. She was just starting to get the hang of crawling...

My God it must be frustrating to be a little baby. Here's another one of Lola trying to get the hang of movement. At least she finds her pacifier in this one!

And another, this one from July 8, 2007 - here Lola is creating a masterpiece on the piano. She may not be Mozart, but she's enjoying her noise nonetheless...

The Scooter

2008-09-21T21:55:00.003+02:00

This is not the most exciting footage. Its from September 5th at Christoffer's parent's house. Lola is so proud that she can finally ride on those little scooters - her little legs are long enough at last!!

Instead of dinner...

2008-08-27T09:48:00.004+02:00

This is what Lola decided to do last night instead of eating her dinner....

Yes, our house is a total disaster and there is laundry drying all over the place, but here is some more jumping action -

Lola and William in action

2008-08-26T20:57:00.000+02:00

This video is from Saturday at William's. Unfortunately, there is another video that I'm not able to post here (I think its too big). The other video shows them playing so crazy together, I think they jumped off the chair on to the mats about 200 times. There was a break at some point for a frantic and enormous dinner, but later they took it further and jumped continuously from the coffee table to the couch. Finally Lola passed out without a word in the other room...

Me-Mouse 8/22/08

2008-08-26T20:35:00.000+02:00

Here's Lola hanging out in her cave the other day reading her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse book.

Allspice and pepper

2008-08-20T20:26:00.000+02:00

Lola tried to help with the cooking tonight. We now have a slightly orange countertop because she spilled curry powder everywhere. She had a lot of fun until we removed her... then it got ugly.

Lola's sick day 8/15/08

2008-08-20T19:31:00.000+02:00

This is what Lola did during one of her "sick days." I had taken the cushions and cover off the couch to wash it all and so she just ran up and down the couch and jumped on it for what seemed like hours.

This next one is from the same sick day. Here Lola is having a blast running around the (very messy!) house in sunglasses... and then deciding that she wants to watch South Park.

Ella's birthday!

2008-07-27T18:46:00.000+02:00

Today we went to Ella's second birthday party in Felix's backyard (too hot today up in Ella's sunny apartment!) We had lots of fun and Lola and Felix competed a bit for the slide. Felix says "Go Lola" a few times and then gives her a good nudge. Then Lola gets annoyed with the rocks in her sandals at the end of the slide. Good times.

The wading pool with Felix!

2008-07-26T15:14:00.000+02:00

Well this might have been a funny video - if Felix and Lola had cooperated. However, that's just never the case. They were dancing but the moment I began to film they stopped and sort of ran off. So it goes...

This place is really great - its part of the big park (Fælledparken) just north of our apartment. There is a huge wading pool where the water is only about a foot deep and there is a huge green area with a playground. Its the best place around for little ones on a hot day.

Post-nap Lola

2008-07-21T17:29:00.000+02:00

This video was sort of taken by accident the other day at Christoffer's uncle's summer house. We had just woken Lola up from a 3+ hour nap and she was being cute and groggy.

Trampoline Action!

2008-07-21T14:58:00.000+02:00

Lola and her friend William playing last Friday in William's backyard. This is really only worth watching if you're a grandparent or if you've got your mic turned up so you can hear Lola squeal. They were both falling on and off that thing and they thought it was about the funniest thing ever.

Lola at baby swimming!

2008-05-26T20:59:00.000+02:00

I'm sure you can see Lola's buddy Ben in the background, too. This was nearly what she was meant to be doing at the time actually - though this is what she does the entire 30 minutes regardless of what the exercise is!! Both the instructor and Christoffer make numerous attempts to steer her in other directions, however Lola has little respect for authority and little interest in anything that doesn't involve climbing out of the pool and jumping back in.

Here is part two of Lola's pool party. Needless to say she is fast asleep right now!!
