Some action shots of Chloe in the park that I thought were pretty cool. My daughter is pretty cool I must say…

More videos of Chloe in the park…tearing up the asphalt with her scooter…she’s starting to learn to lean to turn in the house which is pretty funny as it causes her to wipe out all over the living room floor but she’s getting the hang of it.

Chloe practicing piano with “Hippo” and I get a rare but beautiful smile. Hello Chloe.

A fun filled weekend with the kids, especially with this beautiful weather. And I had to make a mental note to remember to take a lot more pictures and a lot less videos since someone asked me the other day for recent pictures of my kids and I only had videos. Bad mommy. So I might have gone a little crazy with the pictures this weekend. There certainly were quite a few.

When I watch Chloe run around the playground, she’s absolutely fearless. She runs up the steps and comes down the slide and again and again. She’s super determined and super confident. I know. I have my hands full.

Sebastien still needs to hold on to your two fingers to walk forward; he hasn’t quite yet mastered his own balance. He’s so alert though when we go outside; he wants to watch everything and he responds in his noises to the cars and people that pass by. Pretty soon I’m sure he’ll be running after Chloe.
I am still debating what the best caption is for the picture below on the left. I don’t know what he was doing or what he was thinking but if I had to guess, it was something like “no more pictures, please!”.

Chloe’s hair still seems to be super electric…

I really wish they were looking at me in this picture… I don’t get many chances to take pictures of the two of them together since Chloe is so rough with little Sebastien. Poor Sebastien. He needs to grow a thick skin. Fast.

It’s not often I get Chloe to look straight into the camera AND say “cheese!”. I got her to do it TWICE!

And who loves sitting on our Brooklyn stoop and people watching? Sebastien and I!

Here’s a video of Sebastien on the slide for the first time! Watch him push off by himself and climb up too!

And Chloe amazes me with how fast she is picking up riding the scooter – I can’t keep up with her!

Happy eleven months to Sebastien! One more month till the big o-n-e y-e-a-r birthday!

Here’s a video of Sebi learning to feed himself… he’s not quite there yet… he has to lick his whole hand until he finds the snack… but he’s getting there, ha ha!

Some new pictures of Sebi. Look at his “Tin-Tin” cowlick hair and those teeth on the bottom! He’s got six more on the top, you just can’t see them but he can sure bite your finger now with all those teeth! I still don’t know who he looks like. I don’t think he looks like either Laurent or I… I may just have to get those DNA tests after all…

Check out this video of Chloe enjoying her strawberries and cream. And then she decides to share with Sebi! I think she really has a soft spot for her brother… even if she does beat him up all the time. Hopefully she outgrows that sooner rather than later.

I took last Friday off since Laurent was out of town and the weather was so beautiful that Chloe and I enjoyed some time at the park. I think it’s time I gave Chloe’s bangs a trim – she looks like she’s rocking a Beatles haircut in these pictures…

Here’s a quick video of Chloe being silly tromping around the house in Daddy’s crocs:

I remember one time in the schoolyard, I saw a father trying to teach his son to use the scooter and so I asked him how old his son was and he said three years old. At that time I thought to myself, “wow three is young for a scooter…”. Nope, I was wrong. Miss Chloe will prove me wrong on a lot of things I’m sure.

And more silly Chloe playing with her sunglasses. She loves to see herself in the camera. It’s impossible for me to take any videos or photos of her anymore with the back camera. She sees me pull out my phone and immediately wants to see the screen so now everything I take with her is in selfie mode. These millennial kids I tell you…

And the only reason I can get a photo of the two of my kids sitting absolutely still and not wanting to rip the phone out of my hand? Of course. They’re watching Sound of Music. But they’re so cute. Look at absorbed they are. That’s brainwashing at it’s best I tell you. They’re going to have watched Sound of Music more times than I have and that’s really impressive. Seriously.

This video caught Grandma and I both by surprise. I didn’t catch it all but it’s enough for you to see the love. I was putting away the Milano cookies I had bought (since Laurent loves them) and Chloe caught me in the act and said “gateau!” which is what Laurent calls them. Since she was a good girl, I gave her one and she shares with Sebi!
