At the park (in shoes)

Now that I’m so much more mobile at the park, Mommy and Daddy decided to put some shoes on me whenever we go there. I’m not walking in them, but it is a good chance for me to get used to wearing them. I don’t mind them too much. They don’t help much, nor do

Shungiku, shimeji, and enoki

I tried shungiku, shimeji, and enoki today. I think I liked them. They were all mixed together so I’m not sure which flavor went with which food. Either way, I ate everything and was pretty happy with the flavor. The shungiku is a vegetable and the shimeji and enoki are mushrooms. I’ve seen Mommy and

Washing machine

I discovered a new entertainment system today: the washing machine. Something about it makes it more interesting than the TV. I don’t know why it is so mesmerizing. I find it a bit scary, but soothing and fascinating!

Tuna

I tried tuna today. It was pretty good. It had good flavor and was really easy to eat. I didn’t even have to chew on it very much. Mommy dropped the first bite, but not to worry. I picked it up and ate it. Nowadays, when any food falls onto my table I always find

At the park with Mommy

Mommy and I went to the park today! The weather was really nice and I had a great time crawling around on the grass. I’m getting really good at proper crawling on all fours. I have to admit that it is quite useful on rough terrain like grass. My usual army crawl is a lot

Snacking on mini ball biscuits

I’m getting to be really good at grabbing things with my fingers pincer style, between my thumb and forefinger. Sometimes it is easier using my whole hand, but no matter how I grab my food, I find a way to get it into my mouth.

Wipes on head

Daddy was having fun with me this morning. I like playing with Daddy a lot, but sometimes I play so well by myself that he just let’s me do my thing and watches me. But sometimes he wants to do more than just watch me so I has fun with me. Take today, for instance,

Yamaimo (Japanese mountain yam)

I tried yamaimo, or Japanese mountain yam, today. It was pretty good! It had a unique slimy texture. It tasted really good with rice. It made it easier to eat my rice quickly, which is a plus for me.

Active at Sukusuku Hiroba

We went to Sukusuku Hiroba today. There were a lot of babies and toddlers who were there for the first time, so they were more hesitant and held back a bit. I did not hold back at all. I am very comfortable at the community play group and I quickly wandered off on my own

Cushion blocker ineffective

Those cushions that blocked me from getting to the things on the shelf behind the couch are now ineffective. I figured out that I can just pull the cushions down to explore behind them. Mommy and Daddy still try and stop me from getting to those things, especially with all the cables back there, but

Crawling to my bath…nearly

With all the crawling I did today, I figured that I may as well crawl to my bath too. I nearly got there but gave up just near the end. I did most of the work and figured that I should let Daddy carry me the rest of the way.

Crawl and roll

I started doing this weird thing today when after crawling for a stretch I would finish off with a roll. I don’t know why I started this. No one taught me how to do this. I it just seemed like fun. Mommy and Daddy got a kick out of it and kept trying to get

Playing with my toys

I don’t spend my entire day crawling around the house. I also stay stationary (for a little bit) and play with my toys. They keep getting put away at the end of the day so I always have to dig into my toy box and get them out again. Sometimes I just toss them aside

Mobile chat with Grandma and Grandpa

During my weekly chat with Grandma and Grandpa, I was all over the place. I wanted to show them how fast I could crawl and all the different places I like to visit around the house. They were very impressed with my speed and sense of adventure. They also got an idea of how hard

Relaxing moments

I am a very active baby, but even I need to take a moment to just relax. Today I nearly fell asleep on Daddy’s thigh after a lot of playing. I also just enjoy the comfort of being next to Mommy when we play.

Another attempt at couch barriers

Well, even after another attempt to get past the couch barriers, I failed, so I shifted my focus to something easier can close at hand. So I started to play with one of my soft books. It was fun at first. Then somehow I ended up sitting on it and could not pull it up

Cardboard box pounding and couch barrier

Sometimes Mommy and Daddy try to guide my play. I was wandering off to the kitchen so Daddy lured me back to the living room by pounding on a cardboard box. I came back and started to pound on the cardboard box for a bit, but then I decided that I wanted to play on
