YO! Don’t you dare touch my dummy or I’ll be really nasty!

Well actually I also love my Mummy but nobody will take any pictures of us ;(

As promised Mummy organized the first edition of “Le Gouter des Mamans”
(we could also call it a Only-Girls Tea Party where I’m allowed in).

Look our crazy paparazzis Mum who just can’t stop taking pictures.

Virginie’s mum asked my mum if we could babysit Marilou. We (Mummy & I) said YES YES YES !
My first playtime with Marilou we just could not refuse 😉
But once Virginie left, Marilou got all hyped out next to me and started pulling my T-shirt.
This is why I look a bit scared.

but once you get to know Marilou, you realize how cool she is.
She has lots of toys and already is a game expert.
I’m sure she will soon be teaching me all her tricks 😉

Today I was really grumpy, but Mummy wanted absolutely to get my passport & ID Card but we needed a photograph with NO SMILE & EYES WIDE OPEN.

Ok I can do that but exclusively when I’m in Mummy arms 😉

So it took a great deal of patience to Henry the photographer & Mummy to distract me for the perfect shot / consistent with official standards.

My Mummy & Daddy think I look like a convict on this photo.
I just want everybody to know that I DO like my picture taken,
just NOT when I feel grumpy and hungry !!

So after a quick bib at Henry’s, we went to the “Prefecture” – a weird French official place where it seems you always are missing a paper or something and where people – especially women – aren’t very helpful (that is Mummy talking, cuz frankly I would not know as it was my first time at the Prefecture).
After a long negotiation because the lady thought I was too small/young for an ID, Mummy finally managed to convincer her to give me an ID Card & Passport. So in 2 weeks I’ll be ready to become a worldwide traveler 😉 Hip Hip Hurray!!

More clothes! YES!!
Thank you to Cathy & Jos̩ for my first snowing outfit РI hope Mummy & Daddy get the message : I WANT TO SEE SNOW!

Being this cool is very VERY tiring …

Mummy & I went to see Daddy so that I could have a new Music lesson.

One Two One Two
Testing the Mic

I’m Daddy’s sound producer apprentice

It’s a hard day’s work … I might need a little nap 😉

Granny thinks Mummy is not firm enough with me, and that I should sleep in my crib.

See I AM TRYING 😉

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
