Bonne fete du 15 Aout

Today is Acadia birthday, the land I am from and I hope Christophe will love as he grows up. Like many of my ancestors did I left Acadia to settle elsewhere but you can never take the love for on lands out of an Acadian. Ask any Acadian or Cajun and they will tell you the same. The following video is one of my favorite Cajun songs by Zachary Richard it's called Reveille and is about the Great Upheaval (Grand Deportation).



Bonne fete du 15 Aout a tout les Acadien et Cajun au tour du monde.

Christophe meet Yogurt...

Want to know how Christophe spends his days?

I can walk (kinda)

Here are our sons first steps (he took is actual first steps on January 11, this is the first time I have been able to catch it on camera). He is 10 1/2 months in this video I took today; before I started filming he had already made 2 steps and in the video he takes 6 solo steps then one last unassisted step while he reaches for the chair to start cruising instead.



I would like to add this is one of the first times he has walked not holding on to a toy, usually he is distracted and does not realize what he is doing this time he was fully aware that he was walking to mama.

We do not have many plastic toys for Christophe, but this one is a hand me down and it's way too cute how he dances to the music each time to take it away from him...

I find he is also getting a lot better about putting things in his mouth.

I can stand

This is a few months old now...

Christophe was standing on his own so I ran to get the camera; we tried that day to get him to do it again but failed. Christophe can now stand alone from 5 mins to 30 mins depending on his mood.
