Baby-sitters venus de loin - Baby-sitters coming from far away

Grandma et Grandad etaient de retour car j'etais en deplacement pour 4 jours (ca m'a paru beaucoup plus long!). Oscar a ete sage avec ses "baby-sitters" et son Daddy: il a beaucoup pratique la station debout, feuillete des magazines anglais et appris a envoyer des sms en meme temps que Grandma et Grandad!

Grandma and Grandad were back because I was on a business trip for 4 days (which seemed a lot longer!). Oscar behaved with his "baby-sitters" and his Daddy: he tried to stand up, he read english magazines and learned how to send texts at the same time than Grandma and Grandad!

Un petit garcon heureux - A happy little man

C'est vraiment ce qui definit le mieux Oscar ces jours-ci (pourvu que ca dure!). Il dort bien (on croise les doigts pour que ca dure), il boit son biberon tout seul (pour de vrai cette fois), il roule sur le tapis pendant des heures et il a meme voulu se mettre debout dans son parc (bon d'accord on l'a un peu aide mais il a tenu debout tout seul quelques minutes).
That's really how Oscar has been the last few days (we hope it will last!). He spleeps well (we keep our fingers crossed), he drinks his bottle on his own (for real this time), he rolls around on the rug for hours and he even insisted to stand up in his playpen this afternoon (well we helped him a bit to stand up but he stayed like that a few minutes).

Grand garcon, grand bain! - Big boy, big bath!

Oscar ayant 8 mois et touchant le fond de sa baignoire, nous avons essaye la grande baignoire... qui est finalement encore un peu grande pour lui!
Oscar being 8 months old now and touching the bottom of his baby bath, we tried the big bath... which is a little big for him in fact!

En mouvement et en parole aussi - Moving and talking a lot as well

Vous allez maintenant le voir en mouvement et en paroles: il est bavard comme une pie ces jours-ci et roule roule roule sur son nouveau tapis... il adore quand son Daddy l'aide a se mettre debout ou essaie meme tout seul de s'echapper de son parc! Et il a 8 mois aujourd'hui!!!
You will now see Oscar moving and talking: he is very talkative these days and roll and roll again on his new rug... he loves when his Daddy helps him to stand up or tries on his own to escape out of his playpen! And he is 8 months old today!!!

Oscar apprend a vitesse grand V! - Oscar learns very quickly!

Depuis quelques jours, Oscar a appris plein de nouveaux trucs: il peut boire son bib tout seul, il apprend a jouer a l'ordinateur (enfin avec un vieux clavier, pour le moment, que Mark lui a degote car nous avions remarque que le clavier de notre ordi le plaisait beaucoup), il prend la position du 4 pattes (mais n'a pas encore compris qu'il fallait deplacer les mains). La derniere photo est un cadeau pour Mamie (elle a deja ses 2 autres petits enfants assis en babygros rouge - le meme d'ailleurs!).

Since a few days, Oscar has learnt some new tricks: he can drink his bottle on his own, he learned how to play with the computer (well, it's only an old keyboard so far which Mark found somewhere because we saw that the proper keyboard was fascinated for him), he can get into the crawling position (but he didn't understand yet that you have to move your hands). The last picture is for Mamie (she already got pictures from her 2 grand-children sitted in a red babygros - the same indeed!).

Plusieurs grandes nouvelles - Several big news

En effet, Oscar tient maintenant bien assis tout seul, a comme nouveau jeu d'enlever ses chaussettes (et de se les mettre dans la bouche, bien sur!), fait les marionnettes synchro avec Maman et a une 3eme dent! Vous ne la verrez pas encore car nous n'avons pas reussi a la capturer en photos mais elle est bien la, juste a gauche des 2 1eres.
Oscar can now sit up on his own, he found a new game to take off his socks (and eat them obviously!), he copies Maman when she is singing "les marionnettes" (puppets) and he has a 3rd tooth! You can't see it yet because we didn't succeed to take a picture of it, but it is there just on the left of the other 2.
