A very french weekend

Arrived in Paris at 20:43!
First things first: say hello to Adam!


He is learning to do the silent laugh!
One step before the actual laugh


Don't know who was enjoying himself more, Ded or Adam.


He is really very sweet


Next day:
Look how sweeeet!


Adam can now focus on certain patterns / images:


Then we took Ded to the pool, ie we took the very proud grandpa pushing the pram to the pool


And Hadar and I went to have lunch :)


Sleepy baby waking up from his nap


I thought this was quite funny


Inquisitive baby


Hadar showed me a new way of burping Adam


And then we went to Hadar's "physiotherapy" for after pregnancy.
After that we had a very angry ice cream:
(took way to long to find the ice cream so we were both stressed but we wanted "to have a moment", so this was the moment - as you can see Hadar is very happy)


While Ded went to pick up Tata from the airport, I had some time with Adam :)


And then look who it is! 
Tata met Adam :)
Or should I say, Adam met Tata!



Everyone was quite comfy :)


Especially Adam


The next day (Saturday):
We had crepes and pain au chocolate for breakfast (really very french) and hummus (not so french)


Then Hadar, Brahim, Ded and Adam went to the doctor to get his first vaccinations:


And in the afternoon we all went for a walk in the park


Happy Dad 


Happy baby


Strolling along in the park (Hadar has a brace on her arm to help against "mommy's thumb")


A little snack along the way


Look at the elegant mother strolling along in the wilderness


And had some mocktails after


Look closely at Ded's face


It's the same expression!


Don't you think?


Tata was having fun with Adam too :)


See here he is telling us a very interesting story


Then on Sunday I went back to Karlsruhe for Thomas's birthday supper!


Before:

After:


With three courses! The proper French appetizers, of course with proper French cheese from Paris


And then ratatouille and quiche, because if we are going French then all the way


With some red wine ;)
Finish it off with a lemon and fruit cake!


First time trying Lino's cake :) Very pleased


Finished off the evening with some games


Back to uni we go!

Two weeks in Paris with a 0-yearold!

  This was the first time I met Adam And also the first time I encountered the Baby Book, lots to learn We took him out to the doctors office and I held him in the sling! He gained 0,2 kg! And then we had to try to get home quickly so he could eat. We wrapped my scarf around mom to keep him warm. He tried my socks on by they didn't fit :( maybe they are really a bit small And as you can see, the hat doesn't really fit either😅😅 Here are the famous grandparents :) Both quite tired And this was the sleeping arrangement in the night: Hadar would take the "early shift" until around 2 or 3 in the morning and then mom would take the shift after,  I tried to help mom then. Adam was only a week old and already famous! Brookfield sent a small gift This is him so peaceful at 7 in the morning after being awake for like 2 hours, really exhausting work He already learned to lift his head himself! But see, he's still so small! Hadar's turn to take him in the sling Pretty c
