The long legs family

Photos usually don't show people's real height. It's the same for babies. It happened often that friends and family who haven't seen Billie in a while, but check the blog religiously, tell me how taller she is than they imagined. Yes, Billie is tall and skinny for her age. She will be 13 months in 2 days and most people thinks she is 18 months when they meet her.



But everything can be explain when you know Jonas and I. We are both tall and skinny. The branch doesn't fall far from the tree they say. We are the long legs family! When I was younger, I hated when people were telling me how tall I was. I still don't like it. For some, it may be a compliment, but for me, not really. I never thought tall women were beautiful or more elegant. I just wish people could stop telling Billie that comment and let her get her own opinion about herself and grow with no complex of her height. You have to be careful of what you say to people. Sometimes you may not think it affect them but it does. Do you have a physical complex that everyone talks to you about?

Soother saver by Sophie Belle

I just received this soother saver I bought on ETSY from SOPHIE BELLE. I fell in love with its imported japanese ribbon showing us black ballerinas silhouettes.

Simple, useful, cute and girly but not too much.

Day Care

We finally found a day care for Billie!!

Well, she has been going to day care since last October but it always been part time. It was an amazing day care; clean, friendly teachers, very educative, perfect! The thing is, it was only mornings, and we need to work full time Jonas and I! So I finally got into a place next to UNICORN! It's right at the corner from my store. I'm so happy that it's so close from work and I don't have to stress in the morning or evening to go pick her up!



So, the hunt for a day care is done!! Hope she will be as happy there as she was at the previous place... That makes me very nervous!

YUKAKO EZOE

Billie is getting more and more interested in my personal things like my jewelry. The other day, she kept playing with my hair clip made of feathers from YUKAKO EZOE. Jonas put it in her hair and it turned out to be so cute!




Of course, this new accessory will only be used for very special occasion. It's still my hair clip and feathers are very fragile! I'm not sure they would accept it at day care either! :)

Lac Raymond

This last sunday we drove out of the city to enjoy some quiet time in Val Morin. We spent the afternoon at Lac Raymond with our friends Chantal and Philippe who are expecting a baby boy at the end of August. It was so much fun and it felt so nice to be out in the nature. Billie loved it as well. She walked arorund everywhere, swam and played in the sand with other kids. 










It's one of my biggest dream to own a house right by a lake. I feel so good and peaceful looking at it. Swimming in a lake feels very refreshing for your body and mind. Hope this dream will come true one day!

Food

Billie started eating bigger pieces and it made everything a bit easier. She loves eating by herself and that way, she can also choose what she eat. She is still very picky but at least we know what she likes. For example, her favorite thing in the world right now is merguez sausages. I know, it's weird but this is my Billie, she never do things like the others!




Every meal is a big deal now. The whole table, floor, clothes and Billie's face is dirty. But, at least, now she loves eating and it also give me time to enjoy a meal with her and Jonas, at the same time. That's what we call family dinners and I love it!
