Exercizing - Paris & Saulges

I decided it was enough rest after the US trip, we have to get moving again. I am a super energetic little girl: I can't stay in the same place more than a minute, I have to roll away, I can't just look at things, I need to grab them... Nothing better for me than exercizing as much as possible to drain all that extra energy out.

Let's start with roller-blading. There is this event every Sunday in Paris, where people go rollerblading around the city, for about 20km. Thousands of people on wheels, the police blocks roads just for us. What a wonderful way to visit the city.

I am so happy, we are on the move again. What I like best: bumps in the road!

Mom is doing a great job driving the stroller, not always so easy when going uphill. Oh, and nobody can resist my super cute smile, they all have to wave at me.

I might like moving fast and bumps, but Mamma and Papa have their own addiction: they cannot spend a week without touching some rock. Summer is the best period, they like going on climbing week-ends, with their friends from the climbing gym. This time, we are in Saulges, a small village not too far from Le Mans, about 2.5 hours West of Paris.

I have my little Pogy bed for trips, Mamma and Papa have their little house too. They decided they would bring me everywhere ( I love that), the carrier is great for that.

Me in my Snugli, well protected from the strong sun.

I like hugging Mamma, she is the best.

I learnt a new trick lately: I can sit by myself. Does not always last very long though, I lose my balance and fall head first. Boink.

Oooooh, a cute flower. So difficult to grab it with my little hands! I have to concentrate hard.

I can see fishes from up there. Climbing week-ends are not only meant for climbing: I like wandering around and discover new things. Flowers, leaves, little rocks... so many new things for me.

I am always happy to be outside (and so is daddy).

Climbing = sherpas. We don't always travel very light...

Discovering climbing gear. As soon as I can walk, I'll show them how good of a climber I am.

I already like altitude: I am a plane right now, flying super high and super fast.

Exercizing

Just after a month of life, I am already full of energy: even though I am now super quiet and nice at home after giving a little bit of a hard time to my parents during my first weeks, I need to move a lot and spend all that energy. I can spend hours cuddling with mom and dad but I sure don't want to become a couch-potato.

Exercize is the answer, I follow mom and dad wherever they go: mom started climbing again a week ago and I was there. I am already the new star at the gym, everybody thinks I am super cute and that it won't be long before I start going up the wall too. I want to go there again often, see how mom gets back into shape: it is a little hard for her, she has to take it slow so that the scar does not re-open.
Last week-end, we all went rollerblading: me in my stroller and mom or dad pushing it. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed the sun, the little bumps on the path. We even tried doing jumps and stunts on the ramp: I called it figure-strolling, this is the next Olympic discipline.
Next is running: mamma can't wait to go jogging again, and spend hours with me discovering the area. Soon.

On Wednesday, we also got a new car, a biiiiig one, my new car. Mine. It has everything I need there: a big trunk for my stroller, a bunch of space in the back so I can comfortably sit during long drives, and more important than anything, my own cup-holder. I can't really reach it so far but I am sure it will come in handy when I need to let go of my milk bottle.
One thing for sure, both papa and mamma love it: it is roomy, easy to drive, has very nice visibility, gentle on the baby and has a bunch of equipment. Be prepared to see us go everywhere with it.

I am a real stunt now, you should see all the jumps I can doDad's turn to push me down the ramp
