Felix is getting quite imaginative and quite enjoys dressing up ... today it was as a fireman! 
He also had a Mardi Gras moment last week when he insisted on spending the morning in the nude wearing just his fireman hat.
It was very entertaining for Mummy ...and so very Oxford Street Sydney.
It seems the older Felix gets, the crazer he gets, not to mention the more full of beans he is!
Certainly keeps his Mummy and Daddy on their toes.
But it's hard to take it all too seriously!
And how could you resist that smile! (Well Mummy can't anyway!)
It's been another wet week in Paris and so Felix has had the chance to wear his new yellow coat and his yellow gum boots - perfect for splashing in puddles!
Tuesday morning we had a few errands to do, including the washing (whilst we wait for our new washing machine to be delivered).
And then we decided to stop at our local Green Café for a tartine with honey and OJ.
Luckily we set back for home just before the rain set in again for the afternoon.
Sometime over the weekend we like to squeeze in some quality family time...
With Daddy, Mummy, Felix...
And of course the soon to come 'bump'.
It's so nice to have Parc Montsouris just a leisurely stroll away (luckily for rounder-by-the-day Mummy too!).
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon!
Armed with lots of apricots we set back to Paris today on the train from Biarritz. Felix was an excellent traveller and made the 5 hour trip a pleasure for Mummy. Mummy was terribly proud!
We were both excited about getting home and telling Daddy all about our adventures in Hossegor! (And the great fun we had with Iris, Iris' Mummy and her sisters! Thanks again Flo!!!)
Today we had a fix of the sea at Hossegor! It wasn't quite the sunny summer day we'd hoped for but it made for a very relaxing afternoon (cheeky Felix is pretending to be asleep!).
Felix liked listening to the waves crashing ... I think it reminded him of his adventures in Australia.
There were a few moments of calm before the craziness really set it.
And the running began...
Up and down the promenade...
Up and down the ramps...
Nothing like sea air to feel an injection of energy!
A great last day in Hossegor!
How much fun can one little boy have when he gets to spend all day with his bestest friend Iris. Yes Felix has been in little boy heaven. Each morning in Hossegor he wakes up and says "Mummy where's Iris?". Not forgetting for one minute that he is on holidays with Iris. It's too cute seeing them together!
Our first day in Hossegor (near Biarritz) was terribly relaxing. We had a lovely big sleep in (until 9.45am) and had some lazy meals alfresco with Iris, Iris's Mummy and her sisters. Felix was in heaven!
That afternoon it was time to check out the nearby lac (or lagoon) for a quick afternoon dip.
Felix had a turn of Iris's boogie board ... 
But he wasn't too keen on the icy water (neither was Mummy!).
Then we all set back home for some more delicious Basque style cuisine!
Today Mummy and Felix set off for Biarritz by TGV (super fast train) to join Iris and her family for a few days. Felix was terribly excited and had his bag packed with all his toys and was armed with his trusty green water (he won't drink from any other colour cup!). We had a great trip and arrived feeling a little weary and had crêpes on the beach for dinner.
Today Felix and Mummy went to the playground in the centre of the Luxembourg Gardens with Rikki, Freja and Max.
It was great for the little-uns to get out and explore all the fun things to do in the sunshine (even if they weren't quite within the age group of 7+)...
There were things to climb on...
Slides to go down...
Sombrero hats to ride in...
More ladders...
Spinning cups with centrifugal force...
And great bridges to cross...
And all of this without shoes on!
It was a great morning for everybody - both little, big and bigger!
Felix went to play with Oscar and his little brother Vasco today at the park near Bon Marché.
The boys decided to bury themselves in the sand (to the Mummies joy!).
I can just see the trouble these three will get into in a few years! They already look like they are lingering around parks...
(Eeeek...)
For today though we finished up with a ride on the carousel.
(Felix was really happy, I promise!)
Afternoons in Paris are usually spent at the park and luckily the sun was out today and Felix was all prepared (not to mention looking ever so cool!).
We played around with the ball for a while, but afterwards all Felix wanted to do was eat fruit.
(Better than chips & biscuits I suppose!)
Yummy apples...
A snapshot with Mummy...
And back to yummy bananas.
