I already ate my banana yogurt and bread. This is my second banana. Yum.

I’m really into buckles right now. I like buckling up my high chair and my baby carrier even when I’m not in them. I just like buckling things. I even made sure that Daddy’s bag was all buckled up before he left for work. Nice and secure.

Poor Daddy. After a long day of work he comes home and always has time to play with me, but I think he is really tired. Everyday we go to the bathroom for my bath and he forgets where the turtle mat for the tub is. I mean, everyday! Poor Daddy. Luckily, I always help

After a delicious dinner (with seconds) I don’t have time to relax. I have work to do. The deadline for our project is approaching and we still have some wrinkles to iron out. Busy, busy, busy.

I may look cute and innocent, and make it seem that I’m interested in buses and stuff. But I’m actually the mastermind behind planning our great escape. One day we will gain our freedom beyond the fence. But then we’ll probably come right back because we all love our nursery school and know that after

Some mornings I’m very sluggish and don’t really want to do much. Other mornings, like today, I am in play mode from the moment I wake up and am very active. This morning my toy of choice was Legos. I see you!

I love playing with my foam car bath toys that Grandma and Grandpa got me. I get so into it that bath time goes by very quickly and sometimes I don’t want to get out of the tub. Recently I like playing with the roads as well as the cars. I’m getting better at putting

After Mommy picked me up from school today, I didn’t feel like going home just yet and wanted to stay out a bit. So she took me for a walk and we ended up at the park near our house. I ran around a bit and was ducking under these bars that I like to

I’m a very curious and observant little boy. I like seeing and learning new things. I notice almost everything. Especially things I am into. Nobody in my school spots airplanes flying overhead or buses driving by faster than I do, including teachers. Even on our walks I spot all kinds animals as well. But just

I play with my magnatiles a lot these days. They are now standard in my toy rotation. What’s nice is that Mommy and Daddy seem to enjoy playing with them too! Although I have to demolish what they make in order to complete my creations, we all still have a lot of fun.

I’m always happy at nursery school. I love to see my teachers and friends and enjoy all the outings and events. Overall, I play quite well with others and am usually in a very good mood. But it doesn’t always show in the photos that my teachers take. However, today, they caught me with a

Before I had to be fed breakfast. Nowadays I’m just served breakfast and I pretty much just devour it on my own. But I have to be monitored because I tend to take huge bites of my banana yogurt. I surprisingly don’t choke on it. But check out that steady spoon skill.

I’m so good at mimicking and copying that Mommy and Daddy are always giving me funny new things to do. Daddy was going through a bunch of old ippatsu gags by comedians to see if I could copy them. Mommy and Daddy burst into laughter when I was able to do the “I’m a perfect

We had nabe for dinner tonight. And when I say “we” I actually mean we. I didn’t have a special one made for me. I at exactly the same thing Mommy and Daddy ate, just cut into smaller pieces. I’ve been eating more and more grown up food. Sometimes the flavors are toned down and

It seems like we are practicing having me babysat. Mommy and Daddy left me with Obachan to run some errands. It seems like they have a wedding to go to next month and want to get me used to not having them around for a few hours. Of course, Obachan and I were fine. She

I was playing with my wooden blocks and cars for the first time in a long time. I have so many other cars that my wooden ones have been neglected somewhat. I was having fun, but I was feeling a bit lonely all the way over here. So I went to sit in Daddy’s lap

Mommy and Daddy could have sworn that I grew taller, but when checking my height it seemed like I hadn’t. Maybe I’m just getting trimmer so it looks like I’m getting taller. Right now I’m still 83 cm (32.6 inches) tall.

For Daddy’s belated birthday dinner we went to yakiniku. I’ve been to yakiniku before but this is the first time we decided not to even bring any food for me. We knew that I would have more than enough to eat. Nowadays I can eat and do eat just about anything. I am even eating
