She laughs ...

栗子熟了

家附近有一棵很大的栗子樹, 長了一樹栗子也沒人去採. 今天傍晚我和媽媽去拾了差不多三斤栗子回來. 很久沒看過媽媽那麼興奮了(特別是在股市這麼波動不安的時候). 她很驚訝栗子熟了時原來會這樣自己跳出那刺蝟一般的殼來. 所以說嘛, 幸福其實都在簡單的事上.

ressemblance

......... Mingming ..............

.......... Antoine .................

Everyone told me that Mingming looks a lot like me, I am thrilled to hear that. But, in order to avoid the demand for a paternity test, I found this photo of Antoine when he was a baby... Look, they do look alike too. The problem is just that Antoine does not look like his baby self anymore.

Passport

A family of three, each holding a different passport. It is going to be funny when we will pass the immigrantion this Christmas in France.

une petite musulmane

In her pyjama, Mingming looks like a small muslim, with pants and long dress...

She supports her head now!

grandma's hat

Grandma is knitting a hat for Mingming and trying it on her, she look so funny with it.



She is drunk with milk...

change of mood

Mingming is a happy baby. She is happy most of the time, and when she cries, it is not difficult to figure out why: either that she is hungry, has a dirty diaper, tired and wants to sleep, or that she just wants some company. The photos below belong to category 4 - company: she was happy when I was with her and taking pictures of her, and once I left to do something else, she started to cry (or fake crying so that I would come back to her). Babies are smart!

veille de départ

Aujourd’hui, veille de départ.
Mamiecath prend la plume.

Je vous ai néglige, vous les fidèles du blog de Montbéliard à l’Ardèche en passant par Bourg et ses environs sans oublier l’Espagne, vus qui avez rempli notre valise de cadeaux pour notre petite Claire Siming. Grâce à vous sa bibliothèque de langue française est déjà bien fournie ; chansons enfantines et comptines vont permettre à son père de varier son répertoire…

Zen Zen et Antoine nous laissent toute latitude pour pouponner, photographier, bisouter, changer, promener et bien sur bavarder avec leur adorable petite fille.
Quoi de plus merveilleux que ce sourire qui éclot au bout d’une fraction de seconde sur ce petit visage qui vous regarde, accompagne d’un petit mouvement des épaules, petit geste de timidité ?
Elle nous écoute avec attention, boit nos paroles et les poésies que son arrière grand-mère lui récite.
Nous la voyons tous les jours évoluer, la tête tient de mieux en mieux, ses petites mains commencent à saisir les jouets et elle rit de bon cœur.

C’est les larmes aux yeux que je la quitterai demain.

Stroller Fit

Thanks to the enourmous amount of help that I received these last three weeks - from Cathy, Jacque, Grand-mere, and my mother - my third postpartum month was rather untypical for a new mum. I was relieved of my child rearing duty, and was able to spend time learning to drive, swimming, and exercising with the stroller fit mums.

Big thanks to my "belle famille" and my mother!
