Mens' Fashion Week

Being the very fashionable baby, Stellan met Uncle Cliff and Uncle Mark on rue de Montpensier, outside of the Margiela shop followed by a wee walk through Palais Royal to the Rick Owens boutique!

Hong Kong Calling

Christmas - the Sequel:  of course, every day is like christmas when you are as loved as stellan but it really did feel like xmas when a box bigger than stellan arrived from auntie jeanine (his godmather) in hong kong.  

Prezzies galore!!!!  in addition to the books, puzzles and toys, even a superman costume to don in 2 years time!

the other lovely surprise from hong kong came in the form of mark darling, who came especially to meet stellan.  here he is after dinner, just as stellan is waking up from a little siesta;

ALOHA CONNECTION

After much anticipation and planning, my favourite aunt and her grand-daughter finally arrived in Paris from Hawaii.  In addition to showering Stellan and I with gifts from the South Pacific, they also brought some Hawaiian sunshine in time for summer which officially begins today!

Totally basking in all the attention!!!

FOOT PRINTS

Before doing a full-on photo shoot for the Father's Day message, we were going for something much simpler..... just a set of footprints for Dad.  

It was however, no small feat (no pun intended) to get this active little baby to stay still while I applied paint to the soles of his feet and get a clear print because he would pitter patter them around and we would inevitable end up with smudeges, double or triple prints, etc.

Serious restraining was also necessary to prevent him from sticking his toes into his mouth!

STELLAN'S MESSAGE FOR ALL THE FATHERS IN THE FAMILY

To my daddy,

also to gung gung, farfar,

             zio giorgio, vincent & my other fairy godfathers:

teething rings, be damned

i have bought a half dozen various types of teething rings, toys of different textures, to be refrigerated or not to help stellan through the painful teething process.......

strange boy! 

between the foot fetish and oral fixation,  what did he decide does the trick - the silicone petal that goes with my breastpump!
