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

Baby talk

Mommy and Daddy were watching some videos about raising babies and I just had to talk about the babies that I saw. I don’t think Mommy or Daddy understood what I was saying, but they seemed to be impressed with how much I had to say. Sometimes you just have to be happy with quantity

Visit from Obasan (Aunty)

We had a nice visit from Obasan today! I was really happy to see her, but I still cried a bit at the beginning. I warmed up to her again fairly quickly and we were best buds! She brought me a Hinamatsuri (March 3rd) card and a Kodomo no hi (May 5th) card. It was

Further desk exploration

I enjoy exploring around and under Daddy’s desk, even when he is not there. I find that I can get further when he is not working because he is not in his chair to stop me from getting under his desk. I tried to sneak off and mess with his printer, but I got caught

Fine weather

It looks like it is going to be another nice day! The weather is warming up a bit. Some days the temperature goes as high as 15°C (59°F). The temperature drops to about 3°C (37.4°F) at night and some does it doesn’t go above 10°C (50°F), so it makes me appreciate the warm and sunny
