Toothy-peg ...

Alex has his first two toothy-pegs since he's 7 months.

He got his third tooth a couple of days ago.

Now he is 8 months and 13 days and he's going to get pretty soon his 4th and 5th teeth.

What else about him ? He visited his paediatrician yesterday and he weighs now 8kg200 and he is 71,5 cm tall.

Pumpkin...

... with it, you can celebrate Halloween or simply eating a great Pumpkin Bisque .

My husband usually doesn't like pumpkin ... but he loved both of these recipes.

I invented the first recipe while the second one is coming directly from a restaurant in Philly...

Mushrooms ...

... a few leaves of spinach, a few leaves of Swiss chard, escalope of turkey ,potatoes and you'll get....



..... a delicious Hachis turkey with mushrooms on a bed of Swiss chard !

A personnal recipe inspired by mushrooms I didn't want to cook with an omelette ...

Alex ...

... is now able to stand a couple of seconds without holding onto the barrier of his playpen or a chair with one hand ... and he's not even 8 months !

That's really great to see him growing day after day....

I'm sure if you have kids you understand what we are feeling.

Recipe of the day ...

So, yesterday, I cooked a rabbit with olives.

My husband loved it.

This meal is very easy to cooked.
Rabbit is very interesting meat (lean, with vitamins, with omega 3 ...)



So ...
1/ Cook it
2/ Enjoy !

Beijing -2008

88 countries left Beijing with at least one medal.

China stays at home with the most of Gold medals (51) while United States came back home with "only" 36 Gold medals but with the most of medals (36 Gold medals + 38 Silver medals + 36 Bronze medals => 110 medals).

UK won 47 medals (including 19 Gold ones). That will be hard for UK to be on the top of the medal classification during London 2012 Olympic Games ... They should beat China, USA and Russia ...

Coming soon ... Olympic Games for disabled...

Oups, I forgot ....

Alex eats also .... wax beans and French beans...

Tomorrow ...

... Alexander is going at his new nanny : Annie !

And I'll soon be able to find a job and to work again.

At the beginning, he'll stay at hers only during the morning, then during the morning and lunch and afterwards ... all the day 4 days a week.

Several times a month he will take part to some activities with other kids and nannies.... and of course, I'll describe them to you...

What else about Alex ???
Since a couple of days, Alex is able to stand up alone ... when he is in his bed, in his playpen, in front of the sofa, in front of a chair ...

He is not able to walk... that's obvious, he is not even 8 months yet ! (7 months and 17 days) ...

What else about food ?
Currently, he's not very found of fruits. He wants to eat them only in his nursing bottle with some milk.
On the other hand.... he loves vegetables ! Now, he eats .... carrots, potatotes, zucchinies, spinach, leeks, Swiss chards, tomatoes ... of course cooked and mashed.

I don't know how the weather is at yours therefore I send you this warm sunset over the beach of Ste Anne (French West Indies)...
