Friday
Afternoon we went food shopping so we could breath some fresh air. We bought, for Arthur two jars: carrots & sweetcorn and apple & banana, for us: breaded sole fish (for homemade Fish&Chips), mince burgers and a pork shoulder joint (to cook with lentils).
Back home Arthur had his bath, now that he can sit, things are different I can put more toys around him but that's useless he only want to play with the bath sink and the cord :)
Then drying, pyjama, bottle-feed, kiss-kiss, night-night.
We stayed up until 2:30am watching TV shows with Suzanne, Bree, Hiro, the Petrelli's brothers, Mia, Isabel, ... at the end Marie was worried to mix up stories and characters :)

Saturday
I got up late (how come?!) took care of Arthur : nappie-change, breakfast, playing. Around eleven we continued the solid food training, I put him on my lap and gave him a spoon or two of Carrots & sweetcorn, he enjoyed it so much that it ended as a halloween make up :)
At the end 60gr of food in baby tummie and 20gr spread on his face, his white body (changed 30min ago), my arms and my pyjama. It was for sure a SUCCESS !! Thomas Sechet was right, parents need to be patient, no need to worry just keep trying.
After came the cleaning and believe me carrots puree is difficult to remove from baby nostrils !!

We then got ready for the halloween party with Arthur and Marie's Aquanatal friends, it was nice to meet mummies and babies I have heard off for the past 8months and to talk with the men ;)
After the party we went to Currys to look for a new washing machine, they all look the same and the hot/cold fill one are not easy to find. We even read that cold fill is better for the environment, which I don't understand because cold fill mean using more energy to warm up the water, anybody can tell me what is right, thanks ?
Back home, Arthur had his bath with Marie while I was cooking our Fish&Chips. We put Arthur to bed, had our dinner and I went straight to bed exhausted by the week I had.

Sunday
I got up around 7:00 with Arthur, no nobody told him about the time change !! I took care of Arthur, gave him some apple & banana puree, this time I sat him on the table and it was much easier. This time I put him a bib and he helped me by removing his thumb before putting the spoon in his mouth. Arthur and I had a webcam/chat with our french friends, the connection was so good that we woke up Marie, she thought that our friend was in the house :)
I then left for a terrific squash game, came back to catch up with our us-uk-ozie friend.

Lunchtime, we had the excellent mince steak with a salad and Arthur had a quater of an apple. I setup Arthur's wooden high chair, sat him in and we looked at him very happy in his throne. I did a quick grass cut before going to the swimming pool (at 4, impossible to do that in France). Straight from the swimming pool entrance Arthur was very excited, I was impressed as it was the second time at this swimming pool. We had a nice swim and Arthur now splash while moving his legs when "swimming" on his front. Next time Marie will stay aside so she can take picture of us, if it's allowed.
Back home, no bath, pyjama, feed, kiss-kiss, night-night, end of the weekend.

Thanks to have read until here, hope you enjoyed it as much as we did :)
