Holoholo equipment

The older I get, the more things I need. Nowadays when I go holoholo I need some kind of entertainment to play with in my stroller. I love looking at the world go by, but sometimes I need to do something with my hands and mouth. For that, I need a good baby book, both […]

Antenna hair

I still get antenna hair every so often. Now that my hair is longer, I get better reception.

Big tree frog

I’ve grown a lot in the past few months. But no matter how big I get, my favorite place to be is in Mommy or Daddy’s arms. In Daddy’s case, that includes adhered to his chest like a tree frog (no arms required). It has always been one of my comfy places. This was me

Big boy outfits

I was very happy to see that I received a couple of packages today. One package was from Grandma and Grandpa, and I’ll talk more about that at a later date, but the other one was from my cousins and Aunty and Uncle! I got a couple of cards, a couple of books, a lovie,

Reversing + Ninja poo

Getting on my tummy is pretty easy for me now, but I still haven’t worked out how to crawl. I can’t quite get up on my hands and knees. The harder I try to move forward, the more I go backward. It is very odd. What is even weirder, is that I have quite good

Sudden crying fit

I think the more I learn to do, the more ways there are for me to get frustrated. I had a crying fit today. It was very sudden. No one knows what happened, including me. It probably was a combination of being tired, hungry and frustrated (the baby crying fit trifecta). I was happily gnawing

Changing mat tangle

I told you how easy it is for me to roll over now, right? And how I often do it at inopportune moments like when Mommy and Daddy are trying to change me, right? Well, this is the result of some over aggressive rolling over and grabbing of my changing mat.

Pop quiz: Skin folds

I have a pop quiz for you. What do you think this is? Of course it is skin folds, since the title of this post is quite clear. But what part of my body? I know it is quite difficult. Here it s a hint: it may seem like an unlikely place. Here is another

Wild fire hair

Man, my hair is getting long. I’m going to need a haircut soon. It always looks pretty wild after my bath, like my hair is on fire.

Teething ring

Now that I’ve mastered rolling over and using my hands, it makes it easier for me to find, grab, and use my teething ring. I really gnaw on that thing. It is so loud and squeaky sometimes that it can be distracting when Daddy is trying to do work.

Exhausted

I’m not much for napping in my crib, but there are those days where I am so exhausted that I can sleep anywhere. Today was one of those days.

Tummy time: Coming for you

Yep, I’m still working on crawling. I haven’t got it yet, but the intent and posture is there.

Cooling down

After my walks, I need to cool down when I get home. That usually means removing a layer of clothes and letting the air conditioning cool me off. Mommy also helps by fanning me. Oooooh, that feels nice!

Hats off

Even though it is October, it is still pretty hot and sunny. So when I go out for a walk, I usually wear a hat. Or sometimes the hat wears me. The end result, I end up falling asleep in my stroller.

First food

I started eating solid food today! Well, it wasn’t really “solid”. I ate okayu, which is a Japanese rice porridge. It took a couple of tries to learn how to keep the food in my mouth, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. And the verdict is that I like food! I don’t

Finding sneaky Daddy

I was taking my nap in my crib and then I woke up in a fairly good mood. I didn’t cry or call out for Mommy or Daddy. I just stayed in my crib. I got bored and started to move around and thump my legs, but I still didn’t cry or call out. By

Festive fireworks

It is already October, but it is still quite hot. About 32°C, which is nearly 90°F. In OCTOBER! I have no frame of reference, but October is supposed to be autumn and much cooler. The nice thing is that I can get more use out of my summer wardrobe which is already getting to be
