Grandma and Grandpa got a new pool just for me! Well, apparently the old one had sprung a leak, so it was time to get a new one anyway. I actually helped pick it out when we went shopping. It was SO big! At least four times bigger than the pool I have at home. […]
Grandma and Grandpa have these really comfy chairs that I quickly claimed as my own. I even pushed Daddy off a couple of times when he tried to sit there. Of course, Grandma and Grandpa are allowed to sit there. One of the first games I played with Grandma and Grandpa was on these chairs.
I’ve had driving lessons from Daddy in Japan, but here they drive on the right side of the road and the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. I needed a new driving lesson, but I figured it out pretty quickly. So, can I get my license now?
Most of Grandma and Grandpa’s house is covered with carpet, which is a new thing for me, but I quite like it. It is soft, cushiony, has good traction, and not sticky on my feet like hard floors can be. It’s pretty good for a baby like me trying to learn how to walk. It
Grandma and Grandpa got me a new car and truck! They gave me the firetruck yesterday at the airport and the police car today. They are so cool! Not only do the roll really smoothly and of cool people sitting in them, but they both have very realistic sirens. I immediately loved playing with them!
I really like Grandma and Grandpa’s piano! I had so much fun playing with it yesterday that I found it again and decided that I should practice some more. I haven’t quite figured it all out, but I know that it is better to plunk the keys with my fingers and not pound on it
After lunch I was in a really good mood and started exploring the house a little more. I found a dollhouse next to the piano and immediately started playing with it. Even though I never played with a dollhouse before I knew exactly what to do. It was a lot of fun putting the people
Yay! It’s lunch time! Grandma and Grandpa have this nice big dining table for everyone to eat at. I hope it is big enough when Aunty Chris and my cousins Maile and Lauren arrive. It seems like a fun social place to eat meals.
Even though I handled the jet lag really well, I was a bit tired this morning. With all the new things to see and experience, I have a feeling that I’m going to be tiring out a lot quicker on this trip.
Today will be my first full day on Kauai, so it is the first time Grandma and Grandpa will see my full day routine first hand. So priority number one is food. If I’m fed, I’m happy. I ate all my breakfast today: Hawaiian sweet bread, apple banana, and yogurt. It looks like we are
Good morning! Boy, what a long night. This jet lag thing is pretty tough. But I surprised everyone by having considerably good sleep. It was a totally different room and crib, yet I went to sleep fairly quickly, less than 15 minutes. But after about an hour I woke up. My clock was all messed
I was very excited about my second airplane ride. I loved the first one so I thought that second one would be just as good if not better. I was staring outside the window for a very long time, enjoying the new view and experience. After all the excitement of taking off, we moved seats
We had a bit of a layover in Tokyo and Ojichan came all the way to the airport just to see us (mainly me). It was nice to see him and I didn’t cry this time! Because of some ticketing mixup, we spent our whole layover in line and at the check-in counter and didn’t
I kind of surprised everyone and let Grandpa carry me only a few hours after meeting him. I finished my snack and was in a pretty good mood when Grandpa took a chance and came over to me holding his hands out. When I saw this, I held my hands out as well and he
I went on my first airplane ride today! I thought it was awesome! I enjoyed it a lot! I wasn’t sure if I would like it or hate it. After all, airplane rides can be scary experiences for babies. I didn’t mind the enclosed space, I didn’t mind the strangers, I didn’t mind the loud
Getting ready to take off on my first airplane ride ever. I’m not nervous at all, but a bit hungry. What I am is very curious about everything around me. Everything is new! So interesting!
Because of my nap on the airplane, the first time Grandma and Grandpa saw me in real life I was asleep. Still, they were thrilled to see me and Mommy and Daddy! If I had been awake, I’m sure I would have been able to feel the love they had for me even though it
Even though it was my third flight of the day, I was still really interested in the airplane and what was going on outside of the airplane. I think I’m going enjoy regular traveling. I’m so comfortable on airplanes that it was quite easy for me to fall asleep. So I took a nap before
