My hair was a bit spiky this morning. I’m not sure why. Maybe I moved around so much while sleeping that created static electricity. Whatever the reason, we couldn’t comb or brush it down, so we just went with it.

When Mommy wasn’t watching, I started snooping through her bag. There is a lot of stuff in that bag that is interesting to me. First of all, that is where my food and snacks come from when we go out. I didn’t find any real food, just a package of small snacks that I wasn’tContinue reading “Snooping”

Mommy had plans to go shopping for new work clothes with Obachan and she was planning to use a temporary day care service in the city to watch me, but they were all booked up, so I got to go shopping with them! I was so excited! I’d like to say that I was veryContinue reading “Going out with Mommy”

When I see Mommy or Daddy leave the room or noticed that they are not there, I like to go follow them. Of course I want to be close to them, but I also just want an excuse to explore. There is a lot of fun to be had in other rooms in the house.

I’ve always been very good at grabbing things, but now I’m grabbing and dropping things a lot. I’m not quite throwing things yet, but it looks like a bit of a cross between a toss and a mic drop. It is fun when I drop things and then it is also fun when I haveContinue reading “Drop toss recovery”

Yeah, Daddy’s not a morning person.

I’m getting better and better at feeding myself. I find that I do a lot better if I don’t rush and just take my time.

So…I’m here at my chair where food is brought to me…and I get to eat…and you know, be happy…so….hint hint.

I’m being given a lot more opportunities to feed myself and I have been doing well so far. Actually, I might be too good at feeding myself because I tend to put too much food or pieces that are too big into my mouth at once. This is especially true with bananas which are oneContinue reading “Banana escape”

I got a new sippy cup and I am doing really well drinking from it. My other mug had a straw which I got good at using very early on. It came with a sippy attachment as well, but it was a bit hard for me to use because it only worked if you drankContinue reading “New sippy cup”

I’m not a big TV person. We turn the TV on in the afternoon for the kids’ shows, but I often lose interest quite quickly. But every so often there is a catchy song or funny character that catches my interest. At least for a while, then I’m back to playing with my toys. IContinue reading “TV”

We came to the shopping mall for a book sale and picked up a couple of nice books. We also plan to buy some things from the baby store, but first I want to eat lunch. I’m very excited about eating in the food court. Of course, my food is from home, but there isContinue reading “Excited about lunch in the food court”

It wasn’t even that long of a ride, just about 20 minutes, but long enough for me to drift off to sleep.

My hair can be quite wild at times, but it looks nice and neat for a few minutes after it is brushed.

You know how I’ve been eating more finger foods, right? Well, we went all in today and my entire dinner was finger food tonight. Mommy and Daddy let me feed myself. One reason is to help my practice using my hands and to feed myself. Another reason is to see ho much food a needContinue reading “Feeding myself”

I’m joining Mommy and Daddy for more and more activities during the day. I follow them wherever I go, so it only makes sense that I help them while I’m there. Today, I helped Daddy get the bath ready. I was fascinated by the water as it filled the tub. It’s nice to see theContinue reading “Getting the bath ready”

Overhead view of my topknot. Weird. It is kind of an optical illusion and looks like there is a hole in my head.

We went for a walk today, but it ended up being so windy that we needed to seek shelter. We stopped by a coffee shop for a break. Mommy and Daddy had coffee, and I had my tea and some snacks.
