New step stool

I have a new stepping stool. It helps me get to things that are just out of my reach. But it is not as stable as I’d like. It is rounded at the edges, soft in certain parts, and cries out in pain sometimes. Oh, did I forget to mention that my step stool is […]

Look who is 9 months old! That is 3/4 years old! Wow! Time is really flying by. This past month has been a month of improvement instead of breakthroughs. I’m crawling faster, standing easier, climbing higher, and just doing everything better. I’m very active during the day exploring the house and climbing everything in sight.

Trying to escape chair

We sometimes refer to my chair as the “happy chair” because that is where I eat and when I eat I am happy. But we forget that once the food is gone, it is no longer a “happy” chair, but just a chair. I don’t want to sit in just a regular chair. So recently

Falling and getting right back up

“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” ― Alfred That’s good advice, Alfred. Very good advice.

Stalking prey

I’ve very good at supported walking. I can hold on to the coffee table and sidestep around it. I usually do this to try to reach something that Mommy and Daddy have put out of my reach. This is often their phones or the remote. But today I saw Mommy eating some delicious looking breakfast

Couch time

These days, I spend a lot of time on the couch. I’m not vegging out or being lazy or anything like that. I’m always very active. I’m climbing, exploring, searching for hidden phones and remote controls, and in general very busy. The couch is not a place to sit and relax for me. It is

Hair still growing

I thought I had a lot of hair before, but look at it now! It just keeps growing and growing! Look how long and luscious it is! I can’t believe I use to think I had a lot of hair at one month old. That is nothing compared to now!

Pinning and riding Daddy

It is fun to horse around, but it is important that no one gets hurt. I think I may be too strong. I may have to dial it back a bit. Poor Daddy. Not only did he get pinned, he might have lost some hair too. Horsey back rides are starting to make it into

Pretty pigtails

I’m trying out some new hairstyles. What do you think about the pigtails? Pretty, yeah? I might stick to the topknot, but pigtails aren’t bad.

Hamburger patties

I think I mentioned before that I’m practicing feeding myself by learning to eat finger foods. Mommy made me some hamburger patties to practice with. They were a good way for me to practice biting off small pieces because they were soft. But they were soft so the were easily squished in my strong grip.

Figuring out sliding doors

So I push or pull this door here. Then it moves this way or that way. Once I get it open I can crawl through. Too easy.

Toy box

I think my toy box is magic. No matter how many toys I take out the day before, they are alway magically back in the box when I wake up the next morning. It is amazing. Especially because I don’t just take toys out, I dump them out. I figured out how to tip the

Yakiniku

Mommy and Daddy aren’t able to go out to eat very often. But they figured it was time to celebrate both of their birthdays with a yakiniku dinner! (Both of their actual birthday dinners were at home.). They figured that I’m big enough and well behaved enough to go out to eat. They were right.

First bus ride

I went for my first bus ride today. There is a bus stop right outside our home. It is very convenient, but we hadn’t taken advantage of it before. Usually, we take the subway or train, but today we were going to someplace that was too close for a subway ride but a little far

Stretch and squat

My daily adventures lead me into some awkward positions. For me to find new things to play with I often have to stretch or squat. I also squeeze and slither into areas where I was blocked off from. It feels like every day more things are coming to be within my reach.

Banana bites

I love to eat bananas! They are some of the sweetest things that I get to eat. But I get so excited that I tend to take hug bites of the banana. Mommy and Daddy are worried about me choking if I take too big a bite, so they try to pull the banana away
