A visit from Amma and Afi

Amma and afi came again to visit me (they missed me so much).
I think they also wanted to help me watch mamma while papa went to Japan for work..she can be a bit disoriented as the next post shows...
We did a bunch of nice things, I showed them the surroundings of Saint Rémy , we played a bunch and I learned to crawl!!

Mamma, papa and I...I´m wondering where we are going for a walk.

At a little (and the only one) restaurant in Saint Rémy enjoying the fall sun.

...what did I eat all the chocholate???? Nooooo...of course not!!

hmmm...to who should I write now???

hahahaha...amma and afi are super funny!!

This is "Kellan", it means "Cuddly" that my uncle Jonni gave me.

Heim í heiðardalinn!! (home sweet home...for mom)

I´ve been getting quite a lot of complaints about how slow things are in updating this blog...well mamma and papa are quite busy taking care of me and I´m awefully slow typing...even though I try my best. Mamma finds it quite funny how I hit the keyboard with my little hands but its very hard because my fingers are so small and my thumb is so not cooperating yet...

So here comes a little story about the trip we took to Iceland in APRIL!!
It was the first time I took a plane, very exciting, even though I slept most of the way...
The flight attendants thought I was super cute...of course and everything went very well.

In the plane with mamma

In Iceland we stayed with amma and afi and I even got to meet my FAVORITE aunt, Birna for two days before she had to go back to Denmark and my FAVORITE Icelandic uncle, Jonni.

Negotiatiating the use of a "snudda/tetine" with afi.

With uncle Jonni. I look forward to when I'm older he can take me up on the glaciers in his big SUV!!
With aunt Birna. She lives in Denmark and I will go visit her there one day!
Amma had borrowed this bassinett for me, here I am testing it...pretty good eh!

So what did we do in Iceland, well for one I met a LOT of relatives...I seem to have a bunch of them there, well apparently I'm pretty much related to almost EVERYBODY in Iceland!! That is pretty cool, to have 300.000 cousins! I guess its good we don't know all of them, otherwise mamma and papa would have to get a much bigger appartment after my birthday to fit all my presents!!

Papa only stayed in Iceland for 5 days, then he had to go back to France to work but before he left we went to a swimming pool. I really like being in water, splashing is fun, but this one was a little cold for me so I got a bit small and started crying after a while...or so they thought when in fact I was crying because mamma made me wear a hat in the pool!! People dont wear hats when they go swimming!! :o(

With papa in the pool, its before I realized I was the only one wearing a hat!

I also met several of my my-size cousins. Here are some pictures of me with Frosti Rùnar (which at that time was my only younger cousin...since then I have one more), his sister Freyja and Sævin.

Freyja, Frosti and I...darn you can totally see in this picture that I have a little bit of a slobbering problem these days...

Frosti, Sævin and I. Man, these photoshoots can be tiring....

The Icelandic and French Connections

You already got to meet Amma and Afi, 2 of my 2 grand-parents, when they visited me 2 weeks ago. They are mommy's mom and dad, and they come from a place far far North, Iceland, where it can be very cold and snowy.

I am so lucky that I will get to visit them and maybe some of the country when I fly there on April 4th. It will be my first time in an airplane: it is a biiiig machine, much bigger than my car, and it flies too. I guess it won't be a big change for me compared to the car, I'll probably be sleeping most of the time.

There are quite a few other people in the family: I have 1 uncle (Jonni) in Iceland, 1 aunt (Birna) in Denmark (she used to be the star of the family, I took that over from her!), 2 uncles in France (Thierry and Fabien), 1 in the USA (Vincent) and 2 more grand-parents in France (Mamie and Papi). And a bunch of cousins everywhere in the world.

Since I was born, I only got to meet 4 of them. Fabien, Mamie and Papi visited me at the hospital 2 days after I was born: they got to hold me when I was just a shrimp, looking tiny small in my big pyjamas: those same pyjamas are now a little tight, I have grown so much since then. I can even almost hold my head straight now. Almost, sometimes it is still a little wobbly, it looks like I am sort of drunk or something. Too much milk maybe.

A little later, Thierry drove from Nantes just to see me during a whole week-end. He brought me one more friend for my bed: a big blue frog that hangs on the frame: I can't really play with it now but I am sure I will love it with its long legs and arms.

I had the impression that he was not very comfortable holding me in his arms. It is a little difficult to hold a soft small body like mine, it is just a matter of getting used to it. I am a little disappointed he did not try to change my diaper once... The good thing is that he did not seem to be too bothered by me waking up at night: he did not wake up a sinlge time when I had to drink or when daddy changed my diapers a few meters away from him.

Everybody lives a little far from us, that's why I try to keep my blog updated. It takes a little time to do that, and I already have such a busy schedule: sleeping, drinking, sleeping, changing diaper, bath, drinking, a little bit of crying, going for a walk in my stroller, more drinking and sleeping... It is always the same with big stars: can never find time for themselves.

I have already planned some visits here and there: I'd like to fly around the world to meet everybody and all of mom and dad's friends. I have to show them for real how cute I am.

Amma and Afi - Part 2

Today, after a good night of sleep and a little nap in the morning, I went to Paris for the first time. I had been there in the past but it did not really count, I was in mommy's tummy. I saw all the beautiful sights by myself, with the best view ever, from my stroller: the Eiffel Tower, Le Louvre, Notre Dame, l'Arc de Triomphe...

Visiting such a big city takes a little time so I got to sleep a lot in the car and in the stroller. Which means that tonight I am full of energy. Combined with some stomach pains (I guess drinking a bottle in the car on the way back home might not have been the best idea), I already feel bad for mom and dad that will probably spend a difficult night. I have to get used to traveling, we are all planning to visit a lot of places in France and Europe in the coming months, starting with Iceland soon after Easter.

Oh, I almost forgot: this morning, I also got to do like the stars in Hollywood: Amma helped me make some imprints of my foot and hand in cast. They look fantastic and I'll be able to remember how small I was in a few years from now.

A little nap in my new chair before leaving to Paris.

Amma and Afi - Part 1

On Friday afternoon I had the pleasure to meet Amma and Afi, my grandparents from Iceland, for the first time. This is their first trip to France and they are coming just to see me: I can't believe how lucky I am.

Amma and Afi brought me a buuuunch of presents from them, family and friends in Iceland: winter gear to never be cold (where else than in Iceland could they design better warm clothing), a nice music box, a toy with donkeys and zebras on it and attaches to my bed. It can spin and play music too!!

This morning, they even brought me one more gift: a very comfy bouncing chair. I love bouncing in mom and dad's arms, now I'll be able to bounce by myself and let them rest their arms occasionally.

Yesterday we all went together for a walk, me in my supercool stroller but I don't really remember where we went because I fall a sleep like a rock when driving in the stroller (especially on very bumpy roads). Today we went and walked around the gardens of Chateau de Versailles, because the weather was very good, a blue sky and sun. I slept again in the stroller (and the car which is a very good place for a nap too) but when I get bigger I want mom and dad to get a BIG house like the one in Versailles!! ...and while they're at it they can throw in a puppy, kitten and a horse too (or that might be coming from mom actually...).

More toys in my bed, I am so spoiled.
