Uncle Jonno and the Ferris Wheel.

Felix, Mummy and Daddy had a surprise visit from Uncle Jonno on Saturday who is visiting Paris (from New York) for about 10 days.


So our usual Sunday morning breaky included both Uncle Jonno and little Louis (you can spot him under the table!).


We set off for the Ferris wheel at Concorde which is in Paris for the duration of the World Cup Rugby.


Up, up and up we went into the sky for a spectacular view of Paris - Concorde and the Champs Elysées ... (and Mummy)


Invalides and The Eiffel Tower ... (and Uncle Jonno)


Place Concorde, the Eiffel Tower & the Grand Palais ...


And of course Mummy, Felix and Daddy.


We were at the perfect height to look down over Paris and see everything.


And it certainly helped that it was a gorgeous autumn day!


And of course, a gorgeous city too!


Have to say it was a great experience and well worth doing. Hope you enjoyed the piccys too!

Louis Visits!

We had a little visitor arrive 'chez nous' on Friday ... a little schitzu called Louis, who is staying with us for the weekend.


Felix and Louis were a little frosty at first ... getting to know each other I guess.


But it didn't take long before they were getting on like a house on fire and Louis settled himself into the apartment, claiming Felix's chair in the process.


But Felix didn't seem to mind and was happy to share with such a cute little puppy dog!

Felix & the Ice-cream!

Now that is grey and gloomy and COLD in Paris, Mummy wants to do some reminiscing back to a few weeks ago when we were eating Ice-creams in the park.


Felix wanted a chocolate ice-cream and so we indulged him (to his joy).


It was his first real time eating a proper ice-cream cone ...


So Daddy gave him some special 'ice-cream eating' techniques.


As an adult you kinda take it all for granted and lick away the drips, but for a toddler it is a somewhat tricky experience.


Resulting in chocolate everywhere!


And oh the sugar chocolatey rush afterwards!


Bisous from a wet & rainy Paris!

Happy 60th Nanna Carol!

Happy 60th Birthday Nanna Carol! Wishing you lots of love and kisses for a beautiful day.


The 'Paris Connection' is looking forward to a belated celebration when you are here in December. Gros Bisous!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.

On Sunday we set off to watch Australia play Fiji in the Rugby World Cup with The 'S' family.


Felix was all kitted up in aussie gear and Daddy was stocked with lots of beer and Innocent smoothies.


There was a bit of cheekiness en route ... pretty usual from Felix!


Before a quick panic realising we didn't have the door codes and everyones mobiles were off...


But within a few minutes we were inside supporting the Aussies.

(Alas no photos from the afternoon as it was all a bit mad with 7 little-uns between 6 months and 4 1/2 years and 9 adults! And to be honest, I am not too sure how much Rugby was actually watched!!)

No news is good news!

Well the good news is that even though Daddy has been in London for TWO days it seems The Bump has decided to stay put until after Daddy arrives back home (later tonight).


Daddy isn't planning any more trips for a wee while so seems that we are in the clear (phew from Mummy!). Let's just hope that he / she can stay put until Nanny & Pappie arrive in Paris on October 3rd so Felix has some company whilst we do that hospital dash!

(Mummy has had to resort to taking self portraits of the bump as we have been rather lax this time around. Sorry Baby Bump!)

Partners in Crime.

Felix has been seeing quite a lot of young Isabella recently, now that her family have moved back into central Paris.


Felix and Isabella have become somewhat partners in crime of late.


Getting up to all kinds of adventures.


But at least they keep themselves entertained so us Mummies can have a good chit-chat!

Bus rides.

Now that Felix is a Big Boy, he likes to catch the bus and sit in a proper seat - not in the pram.


Understandably so, as it is far more interesting to look out the window and spot all those Ratatouille posters around town.


Will be some time before his feet touch the ground ...


But at least it means we can leave the MacLaren at home most days!

Pony Riding!

The sun was shinning in Paris today so we set off for lunch in the Luxembourg Gardens.


Felix of course had one thing on his mind - Pony Rides!


So off he set on a little white pony.


Then Felix eyed off the little brown and white pony ... pretty please Daddy!


... and he had yet another Pony Ride!


He must get his passion for riding from his Nanna Carol & Mummy!


It was such a gorgeous afternoon.


So we lapped up the sunshine knowing there would only be a few more sunny Sundays left to enjoy ...


... before the colder weather comes and the little bub - eeeeekkkk!

Ben's Party.

On Saturday afternoon we went to Ben's 3rd birthday party ... and Felix made a b-line to play with the trains in Ben's room (surprise surprise!).


There were lots fun things to do like play pass the parcel...


Which was lots of fun for everybody!


Opening all of Ben's great presents...


And generally causing all kinds of havoc, especially in the birthday boy's room.


All-in-all a great success!
