Depending on my mood and clothes, my room and crib can be

just like HEAVEN
aka. Loving it … but Mummy don’t even think of leaving me alone!

or HELL
aka. Get me out of here RIGHT NOW!

Cuz I do not like the smell (even though I know you wash your hands, and teeth before you take me in your arms).
Cuz I do not like when you cough.
Cuz I need my Daddy and want him to be strong and healthy.

and Cuz Mummy just will not stop until you do.

Officially it was 9:04pm when Daddy discovered it, and called Mummy to acknowledge this great fact of life :
MY UMBILICAL CORD HAS FALLEN – I HAVE A BELLY BUTTON !!!

I don’t know if I’ve already told you but before I was born, Mummy & Daddy (and actually all my family) were very worried about the cats & me : how would we get along, would Ganjayou be nice with me, would Shiva feel rejected ?
Well guess what? After a few days of observation, little kisses, bath supervisions … my cats had an extraordinary council meeting and have agreed that I’m a cool little boy, and decided to adopt me.

To fortify our brotherly alliance, we all had a nap in Mummy’s arms.

Today I was in a weird mood … (my readers will know why tonight) … I managed to sleep 4 hours in my cot, but what I really wanted was to be in Mummy’s arms.
So Mummy rocked to sleep … and it was pure HEAVEN.

I love Petit Bateau !

Thank you Mike & Family for my new pair of jammies and also for all the great advice you give to my Dad 😉

Daddy arrived home very late, so when we got to Virginie’s birthday party, Marilou was already sleeping !! Boooo hooo Daddy !!
Mummy has promised me that she will ask Marilou’s mum & Fleur’s mum for a “All kids & mums gouté” next week.

This is me making friends with Marilou’s Daddy 😉

Today I went again to visit Daddy @ Studio de la Scène, and meet Mike, Riké & Sylvain.
Daddy’s is in heaven boast about me.
Special thanks to Mike & Riké (professionnal Daddies) who convinced Daddy to become one!

I got a new puppet today !! He’s called RonRon the Cat and I already love to cuddle him to sleep.
Thank you Fleur, Sophie & Jean Mi for a new additon to m wild Deglingos (Crazyloonies in French) collection.

Pépé Richard came to visit today.

He’s really funny, and seems to know very little about babies.
When I cry he tries to teach me voyels “A … E … I … O .. U…”.
Thank God Mummy understands my baby talk … cuz all I wanted was ARMS 😉

After that Pépé insisted we had to eat immediately to avoid any schedule delays (Pépé’s I mean, cuz I am a flexible baby).
Then Pépé & I had a nap on the couch, while Mummy went about her Mummy business…

Today my Granny came to visit… well actually I think she also came to help Mummy out cuz I can be very very high maintenance.
So Granny rocked me fast aslepp while Mummy got dressed, made my bed, washd my clothes … Told you I was high maintenance.
Then Granny, Mummy & we went for a walk – once thing you must realize is that when Granny & Mummy go for a walk that means shopping : it used to me all for Mummy but now it’s all for ME!
So we went to GAP, Du Pareil au Même & Petit Bateau (Granny & Mummy’s favourite).
I goy lots of clothes again ! YES !!
THANK YOU GRANNY !!

A beautiful sunny morning with Little James

Well actually this is not true.
My real first was a few weeks ago when I was still in Mummy’s tummy… but I couldn’t help Daddy then !

But now that I am out Daddy wants to teach me how to push the boutons on the Sony Oxford console in Studio A (also known as LE A)…

Today Mummy & I went for a great shopping tour in Bastille.
First we went to a Baby shop Rue du Faubourg St Antoine to get some more bibs – we met Marilou & her mum  too cool 😉
Then we went to see Daddy at Studio de la Scene (but I’ll be speaking about that later).
Then to Monoprix were a got a Giraffe called Sophie (why Sophie?), a new book (you all know by now how much Mummy wants me to start reading), and lots of stuff for me (milk, diappers … bladibla). Who would believe it ??? Mummy shopping in Monoprix … next thing she will be cooking – hahaha I really am a miracle maker.

When I was in Mummy’s tummy, Mummy found a great Bookstore full of great books for me. Now that I am out, we went to get me some books…

As I am a very gifted child and will soon be learning my ABCs but first let’s start with colours & animals …

After my trip to the Doctor, Daddy went to work. Mummy & I walked from Beaubourg to Arts & Metier (not very far – but let’s not forget that we are both still very tired). Then we took the subway, as it was my first time in there – Mummy had to take some pictures…

Then we went to the Social Security to get me registered.
And on our way home we visited an art gallery, for my first Contemporary Art Exhibit.

Today was my first visit to the doctor.
My doctor is called Dr Champagne – isn’t that funny?
Mummy who’s a Champagne addict think it’s to cool to be true.

I was a bit scared at first … Daddy did not manage to take a good picture of me, as I did not stop doing funny faces …

But once you meet Dr Champagne, you realize that he is actually a very funny doctor, full of great advice, with a very English sense of humour and looks very much alike the Twin Peaks psychanalyst.
I’ll have to remember to ask for a photo next time 😉

Today Mummy & me stayed home, cuz we were both very tired, so sorry if today we do not have many pictures …

Did I tell that my Mummy thinks I’m a genious?
She actually thinks I will be talking in 2 months, and  taking my BAC (SAT equivalent for US folks) in 3.
Eg: Mummy thinks I was old enough to read my first book today (Le livre des bruit / The book of noises).

Then as I was feeling a bit sleeping, Mummy rocked me with English Nursery rhymes, but as I still could not get to sleep; so Mummy decided to awake my musical taste, so we listened to The Beatles.
Now I know why it’s Daddy’s favourite band !!

After big debates on Pushchair vs Baby Bjorn … Daddy vs Mummy carrier … Jardins des plantes vs Le Marais…
We finally decided : Baby Bjorn / Daddy / Places de Vosges !

I have already told you I’m a Libra… but Mummy wanted so much everything to be perfect that she has bought a VIRGO body – Just in case 😉

Daddy insisted this morning that I should wear it !
