Birthday Girl - 1 Year Old
Stella skyping with oma and opa traveling in Turkey. Celebrating with Eloise and Arthur. Not too sure about the chocolate zucchini cupcakes, Stella had to be coaxed through the first couple bites, coating the cake with yogurt. After a few spoonfuls she managed the cake on its own. Following Chinese custom, we played zhuā zhōu(抓周) a traditional ritual for predicting a child's future career and certain personality traits. It is done on a child's first birthday. We created our own pile of items, tending away from electronics like an iphone as she would go straight for it. You can see Stella go first, then Eloise, then Arthur.

A story from Gma & Gpa
She pulled the book off the shelf and opened it on her own. I heard my mom's voice singing and came to investigate...
Driving a Chariot
They call it a chariot in French so we've ended up calling it the same in English. She loves it despite the fact that she can't steer and is trapped by the walls of the flat.
Holiday in St. Remy de Provence
While touring Les Baux, I was wondering why people kept pointing to Stella. Arno finally took a photo so I could see how she had conked out in the backpack! Thanks for the great holiday mom & dad!

Swiss National Day in Zermatt
We love this car-free village and found a very baby friendly hotel to spend the 1st of August weekend. It was her 9 month birthday and she learned to crawl and pull herself up all on the same day. She was a champion hiker, either waving to people or sleeping in the backpack.
Eye on the Prize
See what motivates her to crawl across the room. I don't know what her generation will be called. Maybe the 'i' generation?
Dancing to Dutch
Thanks Maarten, she loves the book and we are grateful that the volume has two levels - loud and quiet. Guess where we keep it?

Her first INSEAD event
We were about to go to the big gala ball for the evening. This is in her super-chub phase before she started moving around more, boy does she look chubby! Thanks for babysitting Oma and Opa!
And a few weeks later, she becomes assertive at dinner.
At the pool with Papa
Arno and Stella joined me in Malaga for a business trip and scored a couple of firsts: first fever, first flight, first hotel room.

Happy Feet!
We decided to try and make a cast of Stella's hands & feet after seeing this do it yourself kit at the local store. The amount of material was in the end enough to do one foot so the rest might follow later :)
Daddy's birthday!
Daddy celebrated his 40th birthday and had his good friends Chris & Maarten over for the weekend. Mommy made daddy a super yummy cheese cake that Stella wasn't allowed to eat :( However Stella was the star of the weekend; in fresh green colors to celebrate the arrival of spring she stole everyone's hearts!Voor pappa's 40e verjaardag kwamen Chris en Maarten naar Geneve. Mammie bakte een fantastische cheese cake waarvan Stella helaas niets mocht eten :( Stella stal de show met haar frisse groene kleuren waarmee ze gelijk de lente aankondigde en iedereens hart veroverde!

Odd eating style
Well, we tried carrots, potatoes, and applesauce from a spoon with no success. We then tried baby biscuits which she gnawed on until they dissolved, licking the crumbs off the table. Tonight we put some applesauce on the table with the crumbs and she proceeded to eat it with her fingers. So, we think she IS ready to eat, just her way, without a spoon. This might get messy.
Ok, we hebben eerst zonder succes geprobeerd om haar met een lepel worteltjes, aardappels en appelmoes te voeren. Daarna probeerden we beschuit waar ze heel gelukkig op knaagde totdat die uit elkaar gekwijld was. Vervolgens toch maar kinder beschuit gekocht die ze zo lekker vond dat ze zelfs de kruimels en kwijl stukjes van tafel af probeerde te likken. Dus ze is er klaar voor om te eten, maar dan wel op haar manier; zonder lepel dus! Hmmm, dit kon nog weleens een grote puinhoop worden....

I got shots and I don't like carrots.
Immunizations...poor thing. And she's not too fond of carrots yet.
Inentingen...arme ding. En ze is niet zo gek op wortelen nog niet.
