Today we went for the first time to a french cafe with Amané... She was quite excited looking everything all around her!!!

Then coming back home,

yes she rather likes real objects than toys!!!

And for the bath

we make her hair like

the sumotori!!!

Will she become a yokozuna?

She got the hair for that!!

Then Dada Claire gave her the bath...

Nice time...

This morning I heard a little noise in the corridor... Is there a mouse in this cupboard? What a big mouse!!!

In the afternoon we went to the other Amané grand grand mother....

She was happy to meet her

for the 2nd time.

She offered Amané a beautiful chair

and made like a train for her!!

After Amané discovered real chicken...

She was not afraid at all!!!

and then the big rabbits!!

Once more, not afraid!!

What a beautiful chair you've got Amané!!!

Bye bye Grand grand mother,

we will come back!!

Coming back Home Sophie and Marie visited us...

Marie is 12 years old and Amané really wanted

her to become her friend!!

Today Amané got 11 months!!!

She's sleeping 13 h at night,
2 hours siesta in the morning
and 2 others in the afternoon!!!



She likes to walk when we take her hands....
She can stand up by herself....

She really likes to listen to music,
and everything which is not a toy...

She likes to be with older kids,
to make WOUW WOUW when she likes
or discovers something special ....

She seems to be used to the big bathtub and to the car....

She really doesn't like when her plate
or bottle of milk is finish,
when mum goes away,
and when I say "no you can't" ....!!!!

Today it was the last day of the kindergarten for Daijiro.
Look at him in a suit with necktie.


His grandmother Takako made a gift to him; a randoseru.
It is a backpack made of leather which commonly most of pupils in Japan use during 6 school years.


What makes Daijiro happy also makes Hana happy... or anytime when Hana is happy, Daijiro is happy...??

Omedetoh (congratulation), Daijiro!

Amané is enjoying spring in the garden of her grand-parents.
She can stand up without hands now,
and she always wants somebody to help her for walking.



Her cousin Ylan went back to Montpellier...

I'm happy because she seems not to feel jetlag...



She's sleeping 13 h at night!!!!!
It was a long trip full of strong experiences for those 2 babies....
