City park

The park we went to was in the city, but it was very green! The grass was very thick and soft. I had fun touching it and crawling on it. Daddy tried to get me to play chase, but I didn’t like it. I thought he was just running away from me and didn’t realize […]

Tagging along for a beer festival

Mommy and Daddy often went to different events before I was born, and one of their favorite types was craft beer festivals. They enjoyed trying craft beer from different breweries that normally wasn’t available at stores or restaurants. They hadn’t gone to a beer festival for more than two years. With it being Golden Week

Still need rest

I’m not completely over my cold and I still need a lot of rest. It is also really comfortable napping on Daddy!

Koi Nobori

Look at my fish! This is my Koi Nobori. They are flown around Children’s Day to celebrate boys. This will be my first Children’s Day since I was born just a bit after it last year. I’m glad I’m big enough to appreciate it. The koi (carp) are so cool. I love watching them swim

Needy

I can be needy sometimes. After all, I am a baby. Mommy was going to get my breakfast ready but I wanted her to stay…and I wanted her to get my breakfast. That happens sometimes. When I’m feeling really needy I get confused and every once in a while don’t want to be held but

Learning and Exploring

Even when at home, there is a lot for me to learn and explore. I have a lot of educational toys that are helping me develop new skills. You’ve seen how quickly I became adept at putting the toy discs into the slot. I have very good fine motor skills that I developed with all

Back to normal

Well, it looks like I got my energy back and for the most part over my cold. What a mess I made!

Slick hair

Even though I have a lot of thick wild hair, it can be tamed temporarily. When it is wet and combed it can be slicked down. I kind of look like a modern performing artist.

Melon

I tried melon today! Of course, I enjoyed it! So far I’m pretty much guaranteed to like new fruits. They are much sweeter than my normal food and I consider them to be dessert! You can hear that I still have a stuffy/runny nose from my cold, but I’m feeling much better. Mommy had completely

Feeling much better

I’m feeling much better. My fever is gone and I didn’t take any of my fever-reducing medicine. I just got better on my own. I think it was because I was a very good boy and slept a lot and took it easy during the day. I enjoyed playing with Obachan, who came over again

Complaining

I haven’t quite worked out talking, but I’m getting close. I have distinct words (i.e. sounds) that I use to express different feelings and emotions. One sound that Mommy and Daddy have been hearing is when I am complaining. It is a kind of “Buwah buwah buwah”. Mommy and Daddy first noticed it in the

Feeling fine despite fever

I don’t let things like having a fever get me down. I’ve been in a pretty good mood today despite my 39.5°C (103°F) fever. I’m a lot more run down and tired, but I’m still able to play and have a good time. I can still smile even when sick.

Feeding myself with a fever

I may have a fever, but it hasn’t affected my appetite at all. I am still eating really well. I even practiced feeding myself again today. I think I do pretty good for having such a large spoon. I hear that some babies like to toss their food around or play with their food, especially

Fever again

We were getting ready for me to leave for nursery school when Daddy noticed that I was feeling a bit hot. He took my temperature and I had a 38.3°C (101°F) fever. Oh no, not again. Daddy called the nursery school and told them that I would not be coming to school today. He let

Sticking with Daddy

Some mornings I play mostly on my own. I always make sure Daddy is nearby and I come to play with him here and there, but for the most part I just do my thing. This morning I was hanging around Daddy a lot more than usual. Can you blame me? Look how comfy it

Waiting to get better

I understand that I have to stay home to get better, but that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it. I’m just going to wait it out.

Feeling alright

I’m feeling fine. My fever still hasn’t gone away, but I’m not uncomfortable or anything. When I take my medicine the fever goes down and then comes back later. I had a pretty good sleep last night and woke up the same as any other day. Daddy had to remind me that I still had

Cracking Easter eggs

Ever since Easter, I have been having a lot of fun playing with my easter eggs. I like clacking them together, tossing them like a ball, and just carrying them around. I think I’ve played with them every day since I got them. The one thing that I haven’t been able to do is to
