My cousin (yes cousin) Eurielle came to see you.

Thank you for my first Lulu Castagnette outfit.

Granny Angela came today to deliver her neighbour’s present.

A beautiful little outfit.
I can’t wait to be invited to Granny’s house in St Germain and thank Odette & Xavier in person.

Julie helps Mummy – October 3, 2008

Do you know the Auntie Emma Fedex Express Delivery service?
Well I do!

My auntie Emma was kind enough to transport all my Baby Gap stuff.

Now I can tell the world I’m a LIbra !

Guess what I’m only 2 days old but yet I managed to have my first solid night sleep.
I slept in Mummy’s arms from 8pm to 12am, then had a little snap, to finally sleep until 7:30am in my Daddy’s arms.

It was our first night as a family in the tiny little bed room 305.

In the morning Daddy was woken up by the midwife Julie, that is also a Rock singer Daddy has known for many years.
What a beautiful coincidence !!

Tata Jenny has definetly gone crazy. After all my goodies I got my own home made stuff.

A little cover with Mummy’s favorite colours.

and embroded book & painting that Tata Jenny corrected over the night as I was born in October vs September as initially expected. Sorry for that Tata 😉

I think my Tata Jenny has gone crazy, she bought me clothes for the next year !

But also a really cool floatable airplane I’ll be using in my first trip to … (I’ll have to ask Mummy and Daddy where).

and a transportable bed.

OK Tata Jenny we have got the message TRAVELLING OK.
Mummy Daddy when are we going to Tresignaux?

Meet my Tata Jenny !

She is so nice, she thinks I’m the best !
And gave me so many presents it was X-mas before the hour!

Daddy’s parents came to Paris just to meet me.
Mouty thinks I’m adorable, and Guy is very proud of his heir.

Being born is really cool, because I finally get to see all the people I’ve been hearing for the last 9 months.

Pépé Richard was very impressed by my big feet … but is too scared to take me in his arms.

Mummy Jane, Daddy Laurent and Me (James) would like to thank you all for your support and loving messages on Facebook !

So once again big thanks for theses messages :

“Félicitations à  tous les deux ! Il est tout mimi ce petit James !”

———-

Look at my official maternity Teddy !

Emma gave my Mummy lots of “negligés” wrapped in a BABY bag …

Does this mean I should expect a brother/sister in the next few months?

This is my Granny Angie & my Auntie Emma.
Granny thinks I’m the most beautiful baby boy on earth 😉

Well actually she might me right, as I am actually a very very good boy 😉
Mummy wanted me to meet Auntie Emma & I arrived just in time !!
Talk about perfect timing.
Now I know who will be teaching me football 😉

I’ve just arrived.
Mummy & I are still in the “ORANGE” room.
Daddy went to the waiting room to tell Granny Angela & Auntie Emma that I am born and that my name is James.

Granny Angela is so happy that my name is James. She has been secretly hoping for this but never told Mummy 😉

It all started at 4:00am when Mummy felt the waters breaking.
Daddy did not believe it at first and then was a bit in pannic.
A taxi drove us to the Maternité des Bluets and then started a very very long journey …
Mummy was listening to weird music, I could hear Daddy encouraging me to wake up to the world.
When I finally was born Laetitia the midwife took my measurements and put me my name tag so I can proudly announce that :

My name is JAMES EDGAR MAXIMILIAN GUENEAU born on October 1st 2008 at 5:53pm

weight : 3k506g
height : to be determined on day 2

Ganjayou featuring in a live demo that cats can be great looking teddies.

Welcome into my nursery room.

And thanks to my Granny Angela please watch my Nursery Guided tour video :

My Granny Angela bought for us a new camera…

Look at my Granny & Ganjayou 😉

Thank you now Mummy & Daddy are going to become crazy filming parents !!

Mummy & Daddy went to the maternity today to learn how to help me come out.
I could not stop moving, I think I am also a bit impatient to meet the Schleipfer Gueneau Family.

Mummy & Daddy speak to me a lot, so do Ganjayou & Shiva (although they have little conversation as all I hear from them is MEOWWW ??)…
Last week Granny Angela stayed with Mummy & I and I must say I really must be very intelligent as I am already bilingual and could perfectly understand Granny’s English.
Pépé Richard has a strange voice (but he seems to get easily offended about it, so please don’t tell anyone).

I’ve also heard a lot about Auntie Emma and Uncle Rob who live in the US; and Tata Jenny & Grand Père Guy & Grand Mère Monique from Paimpol. I should be meeting them soon.

That’s all for today 😉

My Granny Angela has gone wild…
She is making me a crochet something (blanket, scarf … she has not quite decided yet).
But the only problem is that she is a perfectionist, so every stich needs to be approved and double checked.
So this could take ages and ages.

Last update on the crochet is this :

But it could change 😉

Mummy & Granny Angela went to WH Smith today to get me my first Nursery Rhymes book.

Mummy was already looking through all the ABC books (I think she beleves I’m going to know how to read just days after my birth … LOL )

Just as expected, Mummy just could not wait any longer to buy my first Sesame Street Pampers.

They are actually very cute 😉

Everybody knows that my daddy is a Beatles maniac…
So no one should be suprized to know that I already have a Beatles T-shirt in my closet  (size 12 months!!).

If anyone finds one in a smaller size – Please keep Daddy posted.

Granny Angela thinks I’m a king, and has already dressed my bed with a crown.

Mummy has decided to make a blanket for me, so started to learn how to knit.

After 5 days of non-stop obsession this is the end result :

Not bad for a first try ! no?

A lovely little cow from Riké so that my daddy remembers while he is working in Grenoble on Sinsemilia’s new album that I’ll be here soon !
Too cute !

I think Mummy & Granny Angela are crazy !
Granny has unarchived Mum’s baby toys!
Do they really think I’m a 70’s vintage baby who will love Sesame Street Big bird, Ernie & Friends?

How much more time until I get my first Pampers Sesame Street themed ?
I hope that Daddy is not planning to give me all his vintage 60’s stuff 😉
