Happy Halloween! I hope every has a great Halloween! And if you are able to go trick-or-treating, please be safe. I wasn’t able to go trick-or-treating because it is not very common in Japan neighborhoods, and this year the shopping centers that usually have trick-or-treating events for kids, cancelled them because of the pandemic. But […]
I’m really moving now! I still haven’t figured out how to crawl yet, but I can shimmy around…but backwards.
The kinds of solid foods I’m eating is slowly increasing. Today I ate shirasu, which is boiled immature whitebait fish. They are really tiny fish that you eat whole. Mommy soaked them in water to get some of the salt out of them and the ground them up to make them easy to eat. They
I was sitting on Daddy’s lap while he was sitting on a chair and then I start twisting and squirming and somehow ended up on my tummy. I don’t think it was my intent, but it was surprisingly comfortable. So I just stayed there for a while. I looked so comfortable that Daddy thought he
My hair is getting really long. What’s impressive is that even though it is long, it still stands up really well. It’s not even on purpose. Daddy just dries my hair and tries to get all of it dry, and it ends up standing up. It’s explosive! It even lasts until the next morning. Now
I do such a good job of holding my bottle all by myself, but I should learn that it will be a lot easier if I open my hands instead of holding the bottle with my closed fists.
I’ve recently made it a habit to check and see who is holding me or carrying me. It’s not that I forget or anything. I just like to feel reassured when I see that it’s Mommy or Daddy. I don’t know who else it would be. But it still makes me feel safe.
Some days you just wake up on the right side of the bed in a great mood. That was today. I think it will be a great day!
The older I get, the more aware I am of my surroundings, and the more curious I am. I want to see everything and touch everything. So after my bath, when I’m all dried off, I start trying to turn over to see what I can see and to touch what I can touch. I
Trying to crawl is very frustrating. I feel like I should be able to to do it, but I just can’t figure it out. I can move, but only in reverse. That’s not exactly progress, in fact, it is the opposite. Maybe I should just stay still for the time being. At least I don’t
I’m still loving my solid foods. I am a big eater and always eat everything given to me. I am also very eager. Look at my big mouth ready to eat.
Yep, I’m still taking control of my bottle. For optimal drinking angle, this is the best way to do it.
I’m just looking in my mirror and complaining to myself. I do this quite often. It usually happens when I have grievances, but I don’t really know who to address them to, so I just complain to myself instead. Sure, nothing gets solved, but at least I’m not mistakenly blaming somebody for something they had
Today, Daddy and I discovered a new game: floor pounding. So, what you do is take turns pounding the floor. That’s it. That’s the whole game. Okay, I know it doesn’t sound like much, but we enjoyed it. Any little thing that we do together is fun!
The older I get, the more I see. It is a big world out there! But I also am noticing more things in the house as well. Wow! Look at that ceiling!
There was a time when I would fall asleep every time I rode in my stroller for holoholo. But for the past few weeks I have been staying awake the whole time. There is just so much to see and experience when we take our walks. Also, I’m not a baby that needs a lot
Some mornings I wake up in such a great mood. I’m all smiles and I can’t wait to start the day. And since I’m fresh and well rested, it is a good time to practice sitting. Also, let’s toss in a mini photo shoot while we’re at it.
I still get in a weird mood in the evening. I usually cry for seemingly no reason and it is really hard to calm me down. Some times walks, naps, playtime and interaction help keep the crying away, but not always. Sometimes I can be having a great time, but the crying creeps in. It
