Before I was born, Mummy had anticipated Halloween and bought from Baby Gap (delivered by the Auntie Emma Federal Express) a Halloween outfit.

So when Mummy saw that Marilou was also dressed for “Trick or Treating”, we immediatly invited Marilou & Virginie for tea.

Today Granny went home after a week with Mummy & me.
I would like to take this chance to say how much I love my Granny.

Granny, both Mummy & I want to tell you how much we appreciated your stay with us. I think Mummy really needed some Mummy help & training (especially regarding my neck & my burping).

We love you !
and are looking forward to see you on Tuesday.

I don’t know if I’ve told you, but I love Baby Gap clothes.
Look at my new pijamas from Granny.
Daddy & me are comparing our Gap stripes !

I think I’m going to love business trips.
Daddy brought back home lots of presents JUST for ME !!

My Daddy surprised us all – n’est ce pas Granny 😉 , and arrived home one day early.

Granny told Mummy that the last time she had seen Daddy that happy was when Mummy & Daddy got married.

This evening we have a great chat with Auntie Emma. We all laughed a lot – but I cannot post the conversation in-extenso because Super Granny could get into trouble 😉

Auntie Emma & Granny started imagining what I could be …

Today Granny created my new playground with Mummy’s vintage Sesame Street cover.

I have now a daytime play area and I can have some tummy time 😉

A few days I discoved we had a Le Boulch painting in our living room. Since then, I love to spend countless hours staring at it.
I just think love Le Boulch’ …
I wonder why Mummy wants to take this picture down 😉

Today Mummy showed me off at her office.
I got to meet all her collegues who seemed to know a so called MINUS… I don’t know exactly who they were speaking of – but it does ring a bell.

Jérôme wanted to be the first to hold me.

Then all the office girls were all around me.
I think I might just start a fan club 😉

My doctor prescribed: Feet bath twice a day. I think I’m going to enjoy having all this attention 😉

Ok yesterday was a calm day, today I decided we (Mummy, Granny Angie & me) needed some excitement : I decided to test Mummy and see how worried she could get over a minor foot problem.

Well guess what … Mummy went bonkers.
First she called all kinds of doctors, specialists.
Then w all went to Dr Sala’s office where I got an medicine prescription.
But then looney Mummy & Granny started checking the prescription and decided it was not good for me.
So we all went to the hospital.
My journey in hell began when the nurse decided that she want me to stay still, while I was freezing.
This is a picture of Mummy & me – we are both crying.
I’m very upset & Mummy is very upset over me being so upset.

Then Granny started joking about an awfull fat woman with an awfull fat little boy, so Mummy & Granny had a good laugh and I was feeling much better.

This is Granny trying to knock some sense into Mummy (cuz Granny knows how Mums should react, and Mummy can over react – sometimes).

This is Granny telling me how good I am.

While Daddy is still away, Mummy has been updating the blog with videos, so Daddy knows all about my improving communication skills.
But that’s not enough . Mummy wanted me to speak to Daddy.
So this morning I did my Baby Talk with very emotional Daddy.

Thanks to my Granny Angela, I get to share with you my life … this is just an example of Mummy taking pictures of me for the blog with the clothes Cousin Linda sent me …
Mummy are you ever going to stop? You do realize that I need feeding??

My photoshoot result :

I really don’t need to do anything special to get Granny’s attention.
My granny is simply crazy for me !

After our big  walk, Mummy had to give me my bath to wash away all the Parisian stress – as Granny is just like my Daddy – very very scared of my Fisher Price bathtub.

But then Granny dressed me all up – so I can be my handsome self again 😉

Mummy, Granny & Me were tourist today. Rue de Rivoli, Les Halles, Hotel de Ville, Quais …
Here are some pictures of our Paris by Day tour.

Thank you so much Auntie Juliett & Uncle George for my own first personal Bank Cheque !
It’s so cool, I feel so independant & important now that I have my own money 😉

Today we received my first TransAtalntic parcel …

It’s from the Canadian branch of the Calcutt / Avola / Van Meerbergen family …

..they sent me lots of Canadian goodies …

From ROOTS (my Daddy’s favorite Canadian store) YES !! GREAT !!

From beautiful & organic JOE  (I think Mummy is going to LOVE this store) YES !! YES !!  YES!!

Mummy & Daddy : I will now be expecting shortly Hockey lessons and a trip to Canada to meet the Avola Family 😉

and THANK YOU AGAIN Auntie Juliett & Uncle George and Cousins Linda Maria, Paul, Chantal, Erik, Kayle & Maeson !!

Here are some pictures we made on October 26, 2008 with Mummy & Granny.

Granny managed to get me in my cot for a few hours, despite my Mummy’s scepticism.

When I woke up, I felt replenished and ready for a little fitness exercice.
I think I like my cot – thanks Granny !
