Ma première dent! / My First Tooth!

Jean-Michel a trouvé la première dent à Louis-Pascal ce matin! Elle commence juste à sortir de ses gencives en bas... finallement!
JM found LP's first tooth this morning!! It's just slightly coming through his bottom gums... finally!

Mes livres / My Books

Une fois de temps en temps, Louis-Pascal adore passer du temps devant sa "mini bibliothèque" dans sa chambre. Le voici quelques fois dans les dernières semaines en train de faire de la "recherche". Il est tellement absorbé dans cette activité que c'est difficile d'avoir son attention pour prendre des photos.
Once in a while, LP can spend a really long time having fun with his "mini library" in his room. Here he is a couple of times in the last few weeks, "researching". He gets so into it, it's difficult to get his attention to take pictures.

Le voici dans sa chaise vibrante, tirant un livre à la fois de l'étagère pour les observer...
Here he is in his vibrating chair, pulling books out one at a time from the shelf to look at them...

Et le voici hier, avec son petit dégat de livre autour de lui. Son livre préféré est encore "La lapine et ses lapereaux" par contre... et Papa et Maman peuvent le réciter par coeur maintenant!
And here he is yesterday, making his little mess of books all around him. His favorite book is still "La lapine et ses lapereaux" though... and Papa and Maman can recite it off by heart now!

Debout / Standing

Ça fait pas mal longtemps que Louis-Pascal se tient debout, mais dernièrement il commence a réaliser que le monde est pas mal plus intéressant de cette façon. Cela fait quelques semaines qu'il veut tout faire debout... voici quelques photos variées de ses nouveaux exploits.

Je veux aller pelleter dehors avec Papa!
J'suis bon hein, Grand-maman? Mais va pas trop loin, j'peux pas me rassire tout seul.

Maman!!!! Viens me chercher!Tache, ou tu vas?? Attends-moi!J'ai eu des nouvelles saloppettes! Grrrr, j'suis beau.Beau garçon de huit mois à Papa et Maman...

Une fête sans moi?? / Did I Miss a Party??

I think Maman and Papa had a party the other night. I woke up at Grand-papa and Grand-maman's house one morning (But that was ok because Grand-papa let me eat Cheerios in his bed with him while he took some time to wake up; Maman never lets me do that.), and Maman picked me up early in the morning but when we arrived home, there were balloons all over the place. I think it was Mémére's 60th surprise birthday party because people have been talking about it for a long time now... but they wouldn't have had the party without me??! Hm... I do tend to get shy around a lot of people......Well it doesn't matter now, I get new toys out of it: These balloons are awesome. They kept me busy all morning on Monday.

Partager mon espace / Sharing My Space

LP had another play date with Olivia this week... and I think they're going to be friends. LP was more accepting of having another baby around and he even tried to pet her hair a few times or drool on her cheek. Must be some form of baby display of affection. It was quite funny, they don't actually play together, they just play BESIDE each other. Here they are on the kitchen counter together. If you follow the blog, you know that this is LP territory every morning... well he was quite content having company there. (Especially a girl dressed in this cool color he never wears: pink!!) They were grabbing "toys" from each other over and over again and it was quite funny. I think the moms might find play dates more entertaining that the babies though...

Oh, and Olivia is going to be a crawler, she's almost got it... unlike LP who despises spending any time on his tummy, he prefers standing. So I'm hoping her crawling interests will rub off on him!

À la découverte de la nourriture / Discovering Food

Voici quelques photos récentes de Louis-Pascal qui découvre sa nourriture.
Here are a few recent pictures of LP discovering food.

C'est quoi des framboises?? J'suis pas sur que c'est bon...

Hmmm... rice cakes...

M'oncle Max et tante 'Manda ont laissé Louis-Pascal explorer avec le bol entier de pois et toute une banane... il était pas mal content d'explorer tout ça!
M'oncle Max and tante 'Manda let LP explore the entire bowl of peas and an entire banana... he was really enjoying all that discovering!

Everyone remembers eating Cheerios when they were kids! Watch this video, LP will show you how it's done.

Le bain en canard à Olivia / Olivia's Duck Tub

Olivia nous a prêté son bain en forme de canard et Louis-Pascal l'adore. La plupart du temps il s'amuse dedans avec ses jouets dans le salon, trop cute.
Olivia lent us her duck tub and LP loves it. Most of the time he just sits in it with his toys in the living room... quite funny.
