November 13: I made it to Paris - the train was late but I was asleep so it did not bother me too much. I can't wait to see my mamie and pay though. 

November 14: I spent my 1st day in Paris walking in the 8th and meeting friends for lunch. I especially liked the parc Monceau where my mom played as a kid. 

With my mom on the train on my way to Fontainebleau - 

we met lots of kids and had a nice walk in the forest.

I had my first piano lesson on Tuesday with our friend Jay.

Who knew playing Ives was so hard? Maybe I should stick to my Mozart K305.

It's been a great week in Paris - the wine, the food, the company, everything. Tomorrow I am heading back home to Switzerland to recuperate before my next trip.

My first solid food - yum yum. Give me some more of that rice cereal.

 I had to wait almost five months for this.

Yum yum food. My first bottle of formula, 

which I am happy to report I downed with glee.

[Do you want "more" Noah? Of course I do - why even ask??? Since I was born, the clowns did three hand gestures which I later learned were milk, more and up... (November 28)]

[Ah - finally more food (November 28)]

November 30: After a rocky night two days ago, I had my best night ever last night. I went to bed at 9pm, and slept through until 6:15am! Wow! 

I like playing with Penelope the cow - moooo (Photo November 29 - tweet December 1)

[I got her! (November 29)]

Really? You didn't think I could sit here on my own?

December 1: Two good nights in a row. Can we make it three? The French say "jamais deux sans trois" - hope they are right!

December 2: I ate two hours ago and still have not spit up. My first spit-up free meal! and I had another good night last night. That's 3 in a row.

December 3: Guess where I went this morning? To the creche (day care) for adaptation! New toys to play with, and new babies to stare at (and drool on).

Heidy-ho, here-we-go... learning to walk.

How do you like my funky new contraption?

It's my foot!!! I have a foot. I wonder if I can get it in my mouth?

Last night, I went out to my first dinner party. 

Here I am on my way to my sleeping pod with mom and Tetiana.

Liza and I... Isn't she elegant?

[Daddy and I - I am holding on tight.]

One day, a clown, a witch and a cow were sitting on a stoop... 

Off to trick-or-treat with my Aunt Liza... 

and how about those great pumpkins she carved?

Trick-or-treat! Give me something good to eat! Moo!

So exhausting! I need a nap after a long evening of trick-or-treating...

[Hanging with Hugo while my Maman talks to Laure, Hugo's maman]

I was explaining to Adrian the right way to put your hand in your mouth, 

but he seemed a little concerned with my technique.

November 8: I was hanging out on my tummy and I did not want to be on my tummy anymore so I just rolled on over - what is everyone so excited about?

Look at me! I am learning to stand (with a little help from my friend Tetiana) 

(Photo November 8 - tweet November 15)

November 9: I had it in my hands! I had a whole handful of yummy smelling spicy Indian eggplant tikka. But they took it away from me. So close - sigh.

November 9: Tomorrow, I will be 4 months old - I can't believe I have only been around 4 months - feels like years. I have more than double in weight.

How do you like my official four months portrait? I was all smiley and happy
