In the morning I will usually play with my toys on my own, but when I make my way to the couch, that is usually a sign that I want Daddy to come play with me or to tickle me. Then there is a bit of roughhousing.

I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night a lot lately. Since I share a bedroom with Mommy and Daddy, I have a hard time putting myself back to sleep if they are in the room. So usually Daddy takes me out of the room, gets me a drink, and lets me fall

Today I tried asparagus. It was pretty good. Daddy cooked it with other veggies, tuna, and tomato paste. Mommy tried it and liked it too!

It was quite hot today, but we still enjoyed our walk. We were a little less energetic than usual, but happy to be outside.

One moment I was playing with my cars on the floor and then the next moment I was fast asleep. Nobody was even stroking my back or anything. I was just playing and then fell asleep. I had a nice long nap. And a deep nap. When I woke up, we were already on our

I played all over the house this morning, but then ended up playing on Daddy. I got these squeaky pandas in my panda crate and I can’t quite squeeze them hard enough. I need Daddy to help.

I had clams for the first time today. Daddy made clam chowder for me. Although I liked the soup, it looked like I’m not a big fan of the clams. Either that or I don’t know what shaking my head means. Even though I shook my head I still ate everything up. I also had

I was very into the ducks at the park again today. I pointed at them and said, “Aaaaaaahhh!” Just to let everyone else know. But they already knew. All of us love our walks and like seeing the ducks and pigeons. Recently the cicada have been chirping a lot and we look for them, but

It is so hot! I just don’t want to wear any clothes. Sometimes I can get away with not wearing a shirt for a while. Ahhh, so much cooler. Hey, when did my belly get so big? And what is with all this skin?

I woke up so early and finished my breakfast so quickly that I had time to play with Mommy before she left for work. I was so happy! I was so excited to play with Mommy that when I followed her when she went to the bathroom and accidentally blocked her from coming back. Oops.

I tried mandarin oranges today. For those of you keeping score, you know that I already had mandarin oranges. But these were canned mandarin oranges. They were sweeter, softer, and much easier to eat.

Today’s new food was zucchini. Daddy made ratatouille for me. It is no surprise that I liked the zucchini and ate it all up!

We went cruising in the park today and I had a lot of fun bird watching. When I saw the ducks or pigeons I would point and say, “Aah, aah, aah!”

I just had my hair combed and I am looking quite dapper. It only lasted a little bit, but it looked good for a while!

I had a couple new things at dinner as well. I had nira (Chinese chives) in an omelette and lettuce in soup. I liked them both and ate everything up!

We got a call from Obachan who asked if it was okay to stop by. She found some cheap diapers and bought them for me and wanted to drop them off. We were of course thrilled to have her stop by. I was very happy to see her and put on quite a show for

The teachers at my nursery school suggested that I graduate from baby food and start eating regular toddler school lunch. They say that I eat so well (and so much) that they think I should be eating regular food. In order to do that, they want to make sure that I can eat all the
