La belle vie en France

Some photos of daily life in France...
The terrace of Laurent's mother's home.  Beautiful, sunny place.  We're taking lunch with Sylvain, Laurent's grade school friend, and our visiting friends from the Bay Area, Adam and Briget.  That's Theo playing in the sunshine.



Of course Theo must learn to eat bread while in France!


Here's Sophie, snacking on organic puffs.  It's amazing how they're learning so quickly how to use their fingers.

I spent a day in Nice on my own.  "Mama's Day Off"

In Old Town Nice.

Theo is sitting up by himself!  He doesn't know how to get into that position yet, but once there, he's stable.  Still, notice all the soft stuff surrounding him?


Sophie eschews learning to sit for MOVEMENT.  She follows us everywhere, and she loves it.



It's still not to late to hop onto a plane and visit us here.  :)  Everyone is welcome.  We'll leave you today with this movie of Sophie "crawling":

Hit a rough patch

Yesterday was a tough day.  Little Miss Sophie had an impressive spit-up episode where she stopped breathing and turned red and was choking.  It was scary and left me shaken up for the rest of the day.  I was also tired, exhaustingly utterly tired.  And then little miss Sophie had a series of poopy diapers that didn't look quite normal.  The nurse kept checking in with the doctors and finally they decided that a series of blood tests and an x-ray of Sophie's tummy were necessary.  The results of the blood test said that she doesn't have an infection or bacteria, but they want do the labs again later tonight to make sure nothing has been incubating in her system.  The x-ray also doesn't conclusively show that everything is normal with her intestines.  So, they are erring on the conservative side and Sophie is on an IV again.  No feeding for 48 hrs.  More x-rays and blood tests along the way to chart her progress.  If everything is ok...

Nurse Eileen, she's our favorite Finally!  Oh So Delicious! Sophie's side profile, does she have an Asian nose? Does anybody know Rudy from "Fat Albert"?   Theo showing us his "Blue Steel" Laurent with Sophie a couple of days ago... Gazing at Sophie without any tubes on her face on Monday.  At last we could see what she looks like!  Yay, Sophie got to eat this morning.  It was a small amount, so the nurse decided to give it to her by bottle.  It was her first bottle ever, nothing like starving a kid for almost a week to motivate her to try.  She seemed so happy afterwards.  I got to see her first smile! Looks like Theo might be coming home early next week!
