Almost Sitting Up Alone

She does pretty well for a while, then tips over. Her face is priceless as she's going down! Like "oh no! not again! Why does this ALWAYS happen!?" =D

Plane Home

Eowyn was sooo good on the way home!

In the Tea Shop

Entertained by all the people around us (it was very crowded both times we went in), as well as Sophie the Giraffe.

Sights of France

Copains (French for "Buddies")

Éowyn (5 mos) and Léon (7 mos)-- little son of my friend Cécile. We had a wonderful afternoon eating, mommying, walking and of course talking. So encouraging to find each other still walking with the Lord after 11 years apart!

PS- I can't believe how much of myself I see in E in these pictures!

Parisian Teething

Mom & Dad took me out in the wind and drizzle to go see some stupid cathedral named Notre Dame or something. I think they were hoping I'd be so bored that I'd fall asleep (it was my bedtime, and my stroller usually is quite acceptable as a bed for me), but just to show them who's boss, I stayed UP! I mean, my teeth are coming in, and they need to remember just how much that hurts! Mom buttoned me up in her coat and I couldn't help myself... that heartbeat next to my ear just hypnotized me right to sleep. Next thing I knew I was in my stroller, waking up in some cozy little cafe, and I could smell ICE CREAM! HAH like I was going to sleep through that! I grabbed for their spoons and they finally let me gnaw on an empty one. That cold felt soooo good on my sore gums! I liked Dad's finger, too. Nice and chewy.

Little Sight-See-er

A happy moment in the Musee du Moyen Age (Museum of the Middle Ages)-- the older woman beside us was absolutely taken with her gorgeous lumious baby blues. Of course. :)

This was rather a screamy day for our little tourist. Turns out two teeth were cutting on her gums!

CouCou, Maman!

Our French friend, Segolene, spoiled us with a trip to the biggest, best-dressed mall in Paris; the Galleries LaFayette. There she bought Eowyn some adorable French clothes (adorable as only French kid clothes can be), a little wooden train with an 'E' on it to go in her room, and a "DouDou" (French term for lovey or blankey or binki-- it comes from the word for "soft" or "gentle"). Eowyn loves the little rabbit already and I washed the shirt by hand so she could wear it today! Merci, Segolene! :)

PS-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIA ANNA!!
