Daddy was trying to change my diapers but I ran away from him. So he chased after me and started to pull my pants down. For some reason I found that to be really funny and started laughing like crazy. So Daddy kept pulling my pants down and I kept laughing. It a very funny

Mommy and Daddy have been encouraging me to stand and walk, since I have been doing it off and on for brief moments. I’m probably capable of standing and taking steps, but don’t really make an effort to try. The times that I have done it were all unintentional when I was focused on something

When I can, I like to help around the house, like helping with the laundry. But I don’t doing it for nothing. This morning I tried to trade the laundry for Daddy’s breakfast. It didn’t work.

It’s Saturday today. I think I’ll take it easy today. 10 minutes later… Oh so busy.

The weather is so hot these days, I welcome any opportunity I have to not wear clothes. So after my bath I often try to escape from the putting on pajamas part and run off to play.

I took the day off from school today. My temperature has been fairly high, but not feverish, this whole week and my nose has been running a lot the past few days. The school recommended that I stay home and rest. Which was probably good advice because I slept a lot today. I had a

Every morning there is a stretching and exercise segment on TV and if I’m up early enough I join in. Reach up, stretch…cross your arms, stretch…

Today is tanabata. Our wishes were displayed down in the lobby of the building for a while now, but they were brought up for today. As you can see in the picture I’m more interested in reading everyone’s wishes on the tree than doing as told and posing for the picture.

“I’d like to read from the baby book of ‘Faces’. ‘Nose, mouth, ears, cheeks…’”

I usually have dinner rolls for breakfast, but today I had a smaller roll and two soft bread sticks. The bread sticks were quite tasty and easy to hold so I really liked them!

Mommy’s work schedule and my evening routine do not allow us much time to play together. Either she is getting ready for work in the morning or I’m being fed, bathed, and put to bed at night. But always manage some playtime somewhere in our busy schedule.

Although I may not look very amused, I was very excited to stick my first sticker. But by the time Mommy caught everything on video the excitement had tapered and I was more interested in eating dinner.
