Chez MimiPops
Camille and I spent last week with my parents celebrating my Grandmother's 80th birthday while Rémi was in Canada for work. My big sister, her husband and their daughter, Camille's cousin Julia, came in town from Asheville. My little sister and her husband live just a few minutes from my parents, so we all got to spend some good time together. My grandmother was there the first weekend.
I hope that when I'm about to turn 80, I'm on my knees playing "kitchen" with my great grandchildren!
Uncle Nick provided some entertainment for the girls. It seems he and Rémi have been reading the same parenting books.
Then we went on a walk by the river.
Camille just LOVES her cousin. She was constantly hugging her and patting her and only occasionally stealing toys from her.
Here Camille is "helping" Julia with her bunny ears.
My parents are really such incredible grandparents. Both the girls just adore them both. Camille is lucky to have fantastic grandparents on both sides of the Atlantic.
Introducing her baby to Uncle Andy.
We took the girls to some awesome playgrounds near my parents' house on the sunnier days. It was great, we didn't even have to queue up to swing!
Camille has barely enough hair to justify this hair accessory. It was really cute for about 3 minutes. My mom made that awesome net to keep the girls off the stairs.
Walking on the street with Pops.
Since Camille is really into pushing her stroller, my parents got her this baby stroller to push. At first she really wanted to get into it.
Eventually she figured it out.
Then we got home to Papa and spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Central park.

Babar, a mini post
When we were in France we bought Camille some french dvds, they weren't supposed to come out of the package until she turns 2, but in a moment of weakness, Rémi played Camille a bit of Babar one day. You can see from the above picture the effect this magical show has on our little motion-addict of a daughter. She freezes with delight. And since that one moment of parental oversight, she hasn't forgotten her bliss and she requests it by name almost daily. If anything comes out of our mouths that remotely sounds like Babar, or if one of us starts humming the ridiculously catchy theme song, we're gonners. I've only caved in a couple of times, (YES I did read that NY Times article about no screen time before she's 2!) always with lots of guilt.
Last Thursday was a particularly tough day for us (bad naps, bad weather, etc. - our street looked like this!) so after staring out the window for a while, I let her get her fix. Boy was she transfixed.

13 Months Old
Even though New York City just got dumped with 20 inches of snow this weekend, earlier this week we had the tiniest glimpse of spring and we took full advantage.
Camille and I went to our neighborhood playground.
This jacket was a gift from Rémi's godmother. It's just beautiful, and hopefully big enough to still fit her next fall/early winter. (If not, I know a little Swann who will make good use.)
Walking along the river with Nate and some new friends, Fabian and Elisabeth.
Of course, we were cooped up in the apartment plenty also.
