I am a thrill seeker! I love to do things that are thrilling and exciting. I like being lifted high in the air, I like being bounced, and I like being rolled. The cool thing is that when Daddy rolls me, I roll right back to him. I’m not sure which part I enjoy more.

I had chingensai (bok choy) today. I quite liked it. It was a little crunchy, which is nice considering that so much of my food is really soft.

I just woke up from my morning nap and Mommy is getting my lunch ready, so I’m just here waiting patiently with Daddy. (Daddy also had a nap as a byproduct of my nap.)

I can do independent play very well. I’ll just sit with my toys and rotate from one to the other for quite a long time. I don’t need someone to entertain me all the time. But I am very interested in what is going on around me. So if Mommy leaves the room, I almostContinue reading “In search of Mommy”

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While I do agree that you should start the day off with a good breakfast, I don’t like to play favorites with my meals. They are all important to me!

No, I’m not name calling. That’s just the face I make when I poop.

I am very mobile and have good control over my body, but sometimes I get myself into weird positions where i get a little bit stuck. I eventually free myself, but sometimes it takes me a while.

Mommy does this very fun looking thing called “cleaning” every day and I find it fascinating. I am very interested in the vacuum cleaner and the swifter. It looks like so much fun to use these things, but Mommy and Daddy won’t let me play with them. I snatched this lint roller away from MommyContinue reading “Lint roller”

I’m getting pretty good at lowering myself down to the floor from standing. Before, the descent was pretty quick and sudden. I’ve been doing a lot of squats strengthen my legs and I now ease myself down to the floor. I like to play while standing, but there is also a lot fun things onContinue reading “Lowering myself”

I’m lip smacking a lot lately. And it seems to be catching on. When I do it, Mommy and Daddy do it. When I smack my lips when chatting with Grandma and Grandpa, they do it too. I think it’s trending.

Check out the new spring design Starbucks cup. There are sakura (cherry blossoms) on it! Very pretty! I pretty much destroyed the other cups I was playing with, so I’m glad I have this new one!

If Mommy and Daddy are sitting on the floor or couch with me and I want to be picked up or just hugged, I crawl over into their lap and then stand up and wrap my arms around them. They seem to love this! I guess it makes them feel loved and needed. It’s true,Continue reading “Pick me up”

As you know, I am not happy when I hear that my meal is over. Even when I am taken out of my chair, I climb right back in. I take a stand to show how I feel about my meal coming to an end. I figure if I get fed whenever I’m put inContinue reading “Taking a stand”

I’ve been eating more bread for breakfast lately. I usually have a slice of bread cut into small pieces that is soaked in some formula. It is like a bread porridge. But sometimes I have breakfast rolls too. The problem is that I try to stuff the whole thing into my mouth. Even if MommyContinue reading “Breakfast roll”

Koya-dofu Kanten Boiled soy beans and kiriboshi daikon. All the new foods I had today were great and I ate them all up! As if you didn’t know that already.

In the early afternoon the sun comes in a the perfect angle to make a nice warm sunny spot in the house. I like to sit there for a while to recharge my batteries.

This is another case of “who is copying whom?” I don’t know if I’m copying Daddy slapping his thigh or if Daddy is copying me slapping his thigh and then I do it again. I guess it doesn’t really matter. There is so mimicking going on and it must be good for my development.
