Some more Chinese food.

We really enjoy this Chinese restaurant. I am not sure why we always take pictures...wait because we are so darn cute.

Me and hiding the belly well.

She really smiles big time at times.

What a straight on shot.

The beach day of confusion.

We were supposed to be meeting up with folks from the church I attend. We found the correct spot, but the guy in the little welcome hut gave us grief. I forgot to have a cell phone number for someone and so we gave up. We found a little spot and laid all our stuff out. It was nice and sunny, but much too windy.

Here we are.

I think we may have been discussing the food.

Let's go see Papa.

What is out there?

The wind was too much for the parasol. Léa was working on some lunch.

Le Parc Crousse

I have found that there are several parcs in our area. Each one has different things to offer as far as the play things go. This is one that is just across the street from out flat. I like the easy access some days. Léa refuses to wear her own hats, but will take the one off my head some days.

A mutli-seat teeter-totter.

The horsey.

She always practices her mounting.

And she succeeded this time.

Shadow family.

Once she got the hang of taking the steps she climbed them as much as possible.

Looking down from our flat.

The great divide. She knows to stop before going out into the parking area.

Gonna get Papa.

Walking with Papa.

Our little shadow family. If I would have thought about it I would have turned to the side, so the baby was shown as well.

She refused to have anything to do with this swing when she was a baby.

Here she is now lounging even though she is too big.

Cheese!

Compassion for me.

Babies take on weight fast or I was standing way different. The belly seems much bigger here.

And there is his tiny little belly. He is showing compassion for me.

One of our trips to the buy in bulk store we are members with.

Belly and Léa's nap position.

Despite wishing she would sleep in her own bed in her bedroom, Léa does nap. She naps on the sofa in the living most of the time(occasionally on the floor). I just love her position during this sleepy time.

A little belly towards the end. About 8 months.

Being creative.

Admiring the belly.

Go-Karts, play balls, and belly.

Sébastien and the other guys at work try to get together once in a while. This time they tried out the Brussels Kart. It was fun watching. They said pregnant ladies are a liability: ), so I sat out with Léa.

Papa is ready.

Set.

GO!!

Coming around another time.

Along with this go-kart course (which is inside and outside) there is a restaurant and a play area for kids. Léa especially liked the balls.

I think she would have held more if she could.

Look. It's yellow.

Sitting some more.

Up to explore the balls over there.

Yes, these balls are nice too.

Back to sitting.

After all that play a girl is tired. She was so sleepy.

Flowers in Lille.

We drive into France occasionally to buy a few things we cannot find in Belgium. We go to a large mall in Lille. These lovely flowers are outside the train station there.

Sitting with Papa.

We did not have the tripod with us, so we tried.

We ended up asking someone to take a picture for us.

A bit of belly again and flower pants!

Getting to know crayons.

Sébastien was able to bring a huge roll of large paper home. We use it to draw with Léa. Of course she is like every other kid and wants to chew on the crayons and taste them you know. She did in the end make a few marks around and on top of our drawing.

Her she is just holding onto the crayons after I put them out for her.

Trying them out a bit.

I guess she wanted a fresh page.

The finishing touches for today. Papa said she looked guilty of something in this one.

Hard Rock dancing.

Léa seems to like all sorts of music, but prefers some of Papa's. She also just loves to dance. I like when she does some steps on her tippy toes.
