lions and tigers and bears...OH MY!

finally, it feels like spring....almost summer-like and we took advantage of the amazing weather and the fact that christian wasn't working on a saturday (for once) to go to the jardin de plantes.

although the lions, tigers and bears are in reality out at the new zoo in the bois de vincennes, stellan still got to see his first snakes, monkeys, llamas, ourangatans, etc. in what remains of the zoo at le jardin de plantes.




a rare shot of stellan looking up rather than at his feet. perhaps he has already adopted the parisian habit of looking down and scanning the sidewalks for landmines (dog poo)!

Tuesday Playdate

stellan in the fore front, john and eden behind

clockwise from lower left: jack (lying on his back), anais, john, eden and stellan

viking quest

not to be outdone by all the vertical challenges in the kirk-jensen family, stellan cheats so that he's a head taller than dad!

cheeky monkeys

this is eden, whose mother yvonne brought her by this afternoon to join the boys for playtime.


eden succeeded in doing to stellan what he attempted but failed to do to ludwig yesterday because conie had placed them farther apart on the playmat. she held his hand and then being the agressive older woman by two and half weeks, she managed to stick his fingers in her mouth!

morning abs

sleeping beauty

stellan has been putting his mummy in a very good mood lately by sleeping between 7 to 8 hours at night!

Today is my birthday!

Publish Postshowing fashion versatality at four months, stellan goes from his punk look (see www.funkypastry.blogspot.com) to a clean cut preppy one in ralph lauren.

BFF

more handholding with his mate, ludwig

brothers in arm

there's a really wonderful complicity between the two brothers and they love each other except for the moments when pierre won't give up his finger to stellan to put in his mouth, then he gets really pissed off!

does this outfit make my butt look big?

Blah blah blah blah........er wa

i keep telling him that it is rude to talk with his mouth full but stellan still tries to give speeches and soliloquies while having almost his entire fist, my breast or the nipple of the bottle in his mouth!

Stellan's Menagerie

after the two transatlantic crossings, stellan is reunited with his godfather, zio giorgio

after doing his impression of dr. doolittle, stellan tires himself out from talking to the animals.
