On and off the coffee table

Nandu's new game is to go on and off the coffee table. At first I was of course worried he would just fall, but he figured out how to go down on the first try: smart boy.

Japan (rest of the trip)

Here are the pictures of the end of the trip. And just to give you a sense of how it is to travel with Nandu; imagine that you are traveling with a kitten who can smile and wave at people.... and babble when to attract even more attention.

Aquarium in Tokyo... just to be clear, the crab was alive...

and so was the octopus

Around Tokai

So after the pictures from the trip from Geneva to Tokai, here are a few pictures taken around Tokai, where our life was about Vishal going to bring Nandu to daycare/taking care of him (awesome job!) and me taking night shifts and attending the collaboration meeting.

In our messy room.

At the beach just behing J-Parc... very cold and windy

But Nandu is well protected... and sleeping

Beautiful shrine close to J-Parc

With very modern water dispenser at the entrance ;)

Trip to Japan (part 1)

We arrived in Japan after nearly 24 hours and Nandu didn't cry once... I am truly impressed by my son today.

It started well in the kid's car in the train to Zurich:

And it continued even better in the awesome family lounge of Zurich's terminal E:

And for the rest I have no pictures, but Nandu had the good sense to sleep when we were given food in the plane so I could eat both my meals. He was smiling at everyone while awake and then slept a good 3-4 hours. Finally the bus trip to Tokai was also very smooth, and we arrived at Masago (the hotel) tired but not even too stressed out!

So far so good... in a few days he'll try the Japanese daycare.

Future house :)

A few views from out future house while we were repainting what will be Nandu's room. Thanks a lot for Manu and Anouk for the help!

First spaghetti

First you just play with spaghettis (tied by grandpa)

Then they end up in weird places... 

and you give us this weird smile just for fun.

Christmas Holidays in Pechalifour

We went to my Mum's house in Pechalifour for Christmas. As you'll see the vacations were mainly about eating truffles and sleeping with piles of clothes on top of us and a big fire in the chemine... And of course "running" after Nandu who learnt to crawl over there.

On commence par les choses serieuses

Et le plaisir que meme Nandu a eu de la sentir

et de la manger!

Puis on passe a la serie calins

Pour ensuite entrer dans la serie: je fais la sieste sur Papa. Or in English, let's nap on Papa.
