virtual diaries

Hello,

A few photos from the honey moon. We went to a place called Berck, only 2 hours from where we live. Thee beach was nice but the water cold (Ben went swimming, obviously)

Maman with Jérémy, we rented a pink little cabin for a day, Ben wanted one, I chose the colour!

On the way to the beach! It's the north of France, you need clothes!

Feeties in the sand! He liked it. :o)

Then feeties and handies in the sand. No sand in his eyes thanks to Daddy!

Don't know what he was looking at, but I love the look on his face.

A bit less cold, so less clothes:

And then, on the bed, pretty happy:

Teethies are getting bigger:

 

Happy boy with his Daddy:

Wedding photos

Bonjour,

as promised, photos of Mr and Mrs Tapscott!

Jérémy, again...

Bonjour,

A few cute photos:

- eating apple sauce:

- drinking water with his Daddy, and with a serious look on his face!

 

- drinking while holding the bottle this way is not easy:

- ok, I'll let Daddy do it properly!

That's it for today. Next photos posted will probably be Ben and I nicely dressed, quite happy, and MARRIED!!! One more day and I'll be Bootsie Tapscott... :o)

Here's my son having his second or third guitar lesson. It's crazy, it even looks like he knows what he's doing :-D

Teeth growing...

Here is a photo of the teeth on the 14th (the other photo was on the 12th)

Photo of the teeth

Hello,

Last week, we discovered one tooth was on its way, well, in fact a second one is racing with that one. Here is a photo where you might be able to see these 2 little teeth, they are right in the middle of the jaw.

(Not easy, really, to take a photo of the inside of Jérémy's mouth!)

Last weekend, we went to my parents' house, as it's less hot than in our flat. ("My" would be "Aurélie's"). Baby boy  got to wear his "safari hat" to go in the sun, he was so cute:

 

We also sat on the grass, until Maman saw some ants, then we use that mat you can see on the photos above:

 

We like to take it easy at the weekend:

Ben said he'll post a video we made today, when he's got time, hopefully tomorrow. It is very cute, but I'm not telling you what it is.

First tooth on its way!

Yesterday, Jérémy just couldn't go to sleep, he kept waking up and whingeing. We thought it was his gums hurting so I put some gel on it and felt a little bit of a tooth there! Then a cuddle from Daddy, a bit of Doliprane, and he fell asleep.

Also, as I said, here is Jérémy's revenge for Daddy's attack:

 

And then eating Daddy's hand:

And just being cute:

Playing with Daddy...

Bonjour,

here is a photo of the cutest one (with a scratch on his cheek). He really likes playing on the quilt, on the floor, lots of space and quite independent. He still needs help to go back onto his back, even though he's able to do it himself. But he will just whinge until we put him back the "right way round".

So, on our back, we can play with our feeties:

We can also play with Daddy: (we love Daddy... Maman's not bad either!)

Oh no! Somebody help the poor little boy, he's being attacked by Daddy!

Oh well, I think he doesn't mind too much those attacks! He actually got his revenge today, but he's on me at the moment, just fell asleep and I can't reach the camera to post those photos. You'll have to come back to see them.

6 months old today!...

Time flies! 6 months ago, Ben and I were knackered after a pretty hard night, but we were so happy to finally meet our baby! He's 12 cm taller, and 5 kilos heavier today. In fact, this morning I had him sleeping on me exactly like when he was just born and doing "skin to skin", except he was slightly heavier :o)

So, if you remember, that was 6 months ago:

 

and that was last week:

At the hospital, 2 days old:

Back then, he had a little bit of hair:

 

Where has it gone?

 

He's got a bit of blond hair, but not that much, really.

In the background of this photo, you can see most of Daddy's day present Baby gave Daddy. Photos of Baby with Daddy. Everything home made (by Jérémy, obviously!)

Just a short post to wish our Baby boy a happy "birthday"!

More food and beach

Well, it seems Ben can't find time to do it himself so It's me again posting a few photos and telling you about the cutest baby!

Last post seems to be a while ago. Now Jérémy eats veggies! We tried potatoes+leaks and green beans. He likes it. Did a funny face though today with the beans, but ate most of it. It's still little pots I bought from the shop, but my brother and my sister bought us a "babycook" that mixes, cooks (steam), heats up and something else I can't think of at the moment, so I'll soon do it myself :o)

He also likes fruit, banana, peach and pear. I can tell you it's yummy! Just the fruit, mixed for baby. I wouldn't finish the veggie pots as there's no salt, so it tastes exactly like the veggie, but I have to admit it's not great (as we are used to salt, but it's great for babies). The fruit pots are delicious!

Today though we are "wearing" beans a bit, as we decided to hit the spoon, twice in a row! But it's ok, we might have pear later on as well, when we have our snack. 

And we also tried water and fruit juice in a bottle! Not much baby fruit juice, though, I think Daddy had more than Jérémy, but baby likes water. He doesn't need sugar or sweet things yet anyway. 

Here with fruit juice, and good thing is now Daddy can feed him too! :o)

 

With water, holding his bottle:

 

Trying to eat Ben's rice pudding:

 

With a cute hat that says "born to be a star" (bought by grand-mère)

 

Playing ball with Daddy!

 

Yesterday, we went to the beach! Going there wasn't much fun as there were road works, and a lot of traffic jam. But it was nice once we got there. It was not sunny, a bit windy so good for baby, he wasn't too hot.

 

He got to stand on the sand:

 

To put his little feeties in the (cold) water:

 

And cuddle with Maman while Daddy was...

 

...swimming, obviously. 25 minutes, he was a happy man!

 

And also on Tuesday we had a check up: 66 cm, 8.030 kilos. Still no hair, nor teeth. But we can suck our toes! Switch from being on our back to being on our belly, and the other way round too! And we are extremely cute :o)

Anyway, baby just woke up and is asking for attention. He's drinking some water.

Hope you like the photos :o)
