Le Bain

Claire aime apparement se baigner. Nous allons lancer l'operation "Claire a la piscine" probablement la semaine prochaine avec pour objectif (ambitieux) de la voir nager 50 metres pour ses trois mois.

after bathing

Claire got a lot of acne (or some sort of rash) on her face and around her neck. We dare not put her to sleep in the car seat any more, she sweats a lot more sleeping there. Her face feels like sand paper now. Any experienced mums here who can give me some tips on what to do with it?

On dort / 睡覺啦

We prepared a beautiful crib for Claire, but she ends up sleeping everywhere except in her own bed. Recently her favorite bed, other than people's arms, is the car seat. I put her to sleep in the car seat even during the night these two days. Before she mainly slept in our bed during the night and during the day, she sleeps on the changing pad on the sofa sometimes.

Friday after five - Claire's first outdoor concert

The famous Michael, who was supposed to drive me to hospital when Antoine was in France. At the end, we did make him drive to the hospital, not me, but my mum. the morning when Claire was born.


As usual, she slept through every outdoor activity we brought her to, no matter if it is grocery shopping, walks, visits of any kind.

What book should we read today?

"hummee, what book should we read today?"

reading is a bit too boring now... we prefer...

Sleeping!! especially in the arms of grandma!

(already showing her finger to the photographer! Nico, I wonder where that comes from.)

fathering - good times and bad times

a new position that Antoine has found to hold Claire... it clams her down!

It is funny how Dad's first reflex is still ... Run...

She pooped / le caca... / 思明辦大事

Claire did not poop for five days, which resulted in two fanatic parents and a even more fanatic grandma obsessing with her poop. Finally she did it last night!!

This video is really funny! (明明, 好糗呀!)

visiting Monticello on the 4th of July

Siming cried before entering the house of Thomas Jefferson, strolling in the garden (i.e. sleeping in her stroller) and getting breastfed are more of her idea of fun.

[Thanks for the visit! Hope you guys have fun. We did!]
