Elle n'est plus seule... - It's not the only one anymore...

Eh oui, surprise (ou presque puisque des yeux avertis l'avaient vue pointer sur la precedente photo): Oscar a une 2eme dent! Juste a cote de la 1ere (comme souvent apparemment) et la 1ere continue de bien pousser. On va devoir faire attention a ne pas se faire mordre maintenant!
What a surprise (even though some experienced eyes have seen it already on the 1st picture): Oscar has a 2nd tooth now! Just next to the 1st one (which seems to be often the case) and the 1st one grows quite quickly as well. We will have to be careful now if we don't want to be bitten!

Sortie au restaurant pour nos 5 ans de mariage - Diner out for our 5th wedding aniversary

Nous avons fete aujourd'hui nos 5 ans de mariage: en plus d'avoir passe une superbe journee ensoleillee avec Dave et Sarah, nous sommes sortis diner dans un restaurant mexicain pret de chez nous. Pina colada pour le clin d'oeil a notre lune de miel a Cuba, et place assise avec couverts pour Oscar qui aura bientot droit aux tortillas!

Today was our 5th wedding anniversary:on top of a very nice and sunny day with Dave and Sarah, we went out for diner in a mexican restaurant close to where we live. Pina colada to remember our honeymoon in Cuba, and proper place at the table for Oscar who will be soon allowed to have tortillas!

1ere dent! - 1st tooth!

Nous nous sommes apercus aujourd'hui qu'Oscar avait bel et bien une dent! Certes pas encore tres visible mais deja bien sortie de la gencive! A 5 mois et 9 jours, ce ne doit pas etre un record mais c'est pas mal quand meme! Sans compter qu'avec les compotes de fruits et les purees de legumes qu'il devore tous les jours, les autres dents ont interet a se depecher de sortir avant qu'Oscar n'attaque la viande!

We realized today that Oscar has a tooth! It's not very visible yet but it is clearly outside of the gum! At 5 months and 9 days old, I'm not sure it is a record but it's not too bad already! And with the fruit compotes and the vegetable purees he devours every day, the other teeth have to hurry up to come out before Oscar starts to eat meat!

Mariage au soleil! - Wedding under the sun!

Nous sommes alles au mariage de Monika (une de mes amies) et David a Pertuis, pres d'Aix-en-Provence. Le temps etait ensoleille et chaud (tres chaud!) ce qui etait bien agreable... Tout le monde etait en blanc sauf la star du jour, Monika, en jaune eclatant! Oscar a semble aussi profiter a sa facon de ce petit weekend provencal, petit-dejeuner en terrasse et sieste en plein air.

We went to Monika (one of my friends) and David's wedding in Pertuis, close to Aix-en-Provence. The weather was sunny and hot (very hot!) which was very nice... Everybody was in white except the star of the day, Monika, in bright yellow! Oscar seemed to enjoy this provencal weekend, breakfast on a terrace and siesta in open air.

5 mois: Oscar mange!!! - 5 months old: Oscar eats!!!

Oscar a presque 5 mois: il pese 6.560kg et mesure 66cm, ce qui est tout a fait bien pour son age. Mais voila, il nous a reveille cette nuit a 4h mort de faim! Et donc, il a maintenant droit a de la compote de fruits en plus de ces 5 biberons! Nadege etait la comme temoin ce matin et a filme la 1ere compote d'Oscar. Dans l'urgence, c'etait malheureusement un petit pot Bledina car nous partons pour le mariage de Monika a Aix-en-Provence!
Oscar is nearly 5 months old: he weighs 6.560kg and measures 66cm, which is good for his age. But he woke us up last night at 4.00am starving! Therefore, he gets now some fruit compote next to his 5 bottles! Nadege was there this morning to witness and take a video of Oscar's first compote. It was unfortunately not a home-made one as we were in a hurry as we are leaving this morning for Monika's wedding in Aix-en-Provence!

Passage par Retour - Visit to Retour

Nous avons enfin pu rendre visite a Helen et Murray dans leur maison de vacances de l'Allier, au lieu-dit Retour (Echassieres). Nous avons passe une bonne apres-midi et Oscar a apprecie de revoir son cousin Louis et sa Auntie Helen.

We were eventually able to visit Helen & Murray in their holiday home in the Allier, in a place called Retour (village of Echassieres). We had a very nice afternoon together and Oscar enjoyed to see again his cousin Louis and his Auntie Helen.

Ensuite le tour des amis francais - Then French friends' visit

Nous en avons aussi profite pour revoir nos amis et pour leur presenter Oscar: il a rencontre Lucie et Lisa, Marianne, Magali, Patricia, Olivier et Elise (une petite-amie potentielle dans quelques annees!). Il a aussi revu Myriam, Denis, Carine, Alban, Anthony et Hermione (une autre proie potentielle!).

We also take the opportunity to see some friends and to introduce them to Oscar: he met Lucie and Lisa, Marianne, Magali, Patricia, Olivier and Elise (a potential girl-friend in a few years!). He also saw again Myriam, Denis, Carine, Alban, Anthony and Hermione (another potential girl-friend!).

Bref, ce fut des vacances bien agreables qui ont donne le sourire a Oscar!

Well, there were nice holidays to bring a smile to Oscar's face!
