Freja.





Freja

It’s been a good day for lil Pipskimus. She’s starting to get over her sore throat now and all that remains is a slight rattle in her voice every so often and the ubiquitous running nose. Naturally she has celebrated her recovery by discovering a new range of hilarious ‘monster noises’. These started yesterday as I was listening to Kate Bush and singing along n my broken voice (I’ve been infected again)
Pipski was sitting on the living room floor, regarding me, when suddenly she launched into a series of high-pitched growls. Mette and I fell about laughing to which we were rewarded with her trademark, open-mouthed smile. I love that face!


Today Mette noticed Pip making ‘angry growls & gestures’ when ever she wasn’t getting her way during feeding. She pointed this out to me and sure enough, Freja makes a sort of clenched fist gesture with both hands as she makes a short, indignant ‘bark’. It looks just like Beavis (& Butthead) when he’s losing it and sort of reminds me of Little My from the Moomintroll books by Tove Jansson. I’m really looking forward to reading Moomintroll to Pip when she’s old enough to understand them.
