Hey Kanda, Lila did look so shy in the photo I am so happy that the nodules were nothing serious! I hope you enjoyed that drink, I would have needed a few

Suz, good luck on the toilet training - It is only a matter of time!

Alison, your poor nan, I understand that - I sometimes ask myself would I prefer to live long and not have it all up there or just go earlier. I think I'd rather stay as long as my mind is also present. Bu I am sure she had a lovely day with the beautiful Amelia around - Old people react to babies in such an amazing way - it is like youth hits them again for a bit.

Lani, thos photos are gorgeous - my god, those gorgeous eyes he has - future heartbreaker I say!

Carmey, your boy is destined to be a triathelete! Runs in the family so he is starting early. This weekend, Eva started rolling as well...But she goes from back to sides - not the whole turn yet, but even now I am never leaving her ANYWHERE unattended except the floor, bbecause I keep feeling like she'll decide to do a full roll the moment I take my hands off of her! What a big boy You both are tall, so it is normal - so glad he is doing so well, from his pictures he looks like he is a happy baby - I never wrapped her so I would not know - I do sleep her on her belly now that she is strong enough to lift her head though and that prevents any startling or wayward arms. I know people are against that but with her reflux, back sleeping is IMPOSSIBLE!

AFM, packed up alllllll the baby stuff and headed to Paris this weekend, didn't forget anything, or so I thought...20 minutes out of the house and I realized I forgot her medicine and then when we arrived in Paris, I realized I forgot THE CAMERA! So I have like 5 crappy pictures on my iphone but that's all. I'll post two or three but they are nothing to look at really...

Eva did well, the first two hours of the trip went smoothly, then after she started crying for a feed (the past three days she has been on a two hours sched again ) so I fed her and she started complaining at the end of the fourth hour, but we got in so it was ok. Traffic was annoying - it is usally a 2.5 hour drive buit took 4...

Her first dinner out was not too shabby, we went to have diiner at the Dali at Le Meurice, a very nice hotel restaurant. She behaved well except for a bit of fussiness but I walked her around the halls of the hotel in her stroller and she slept for the rest of the meal (I missed the first plate though...as usual). Second day we walked around and went to see all the lovely boutiques at Place Vendome etc...then she had a huge nap so I stayed in with her and also had a nap, then for dinner we went out again where she was really adorable - awake the whole time but playing and quiet. Then sunday we had brunch at le first which has a wonderful organic brunch and she slept through the whole thing, only waking up once for a bit to meet DH's aunts and cousins. Then we headed home where she slept and played and was great...

It was also fashion week in paris, so I had tons of eye candy walking around everywhere (though the skinny models everywhere depressed me!)

It was DH's grandfather's bday so we celebrated that and also, Sunday was grandmother's day in france, so we went to see Eva's 2 great grandmothers and brought her grandmother flowers when we headed back to brussels.

All in all a lovely weekend. I hope the trip to NY goes well because that is 8 hours flying, but as DH said at least we can stand up and walk around with her.

She seems to have grown enormously overnight! I have her in all of her 6 month pyjamas and they fit almost perfect! I was not putting them on her because when I looked at theml I kept thinking that they are waaaay to big, but finally they are not at all...The time flies so fast...I am dreading putting her in daycare at 5 months (I want to put her in to socialize etc, but I will be the one to have a hard time!)

Well, I am officially back to work today - working from home but working I am happy to get back into the swing of things but it is incredible how priorities change once a baby is in the picture.

Off to be productive!

xoxo
