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 Mommy

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 on

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,

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 in

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 Mommy

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.

I like to play with laundry! I like it when it is in the basket because I get to pull it all out, even when they are all neatly folded. Today I got to the laundry before it was folded. Daddy helped me get all of it out and my laundry play time ended up

I eat dinner, take a bath, and then usually get nursed before I have my bedtime story and go to bed. But recently I’ve been biting Mommy a lot and a little too hard. Mommy warns me not to hurt her, but I don’t know my own strength. After several warnings I lose my nursing

While shopping today, we spotted an aquarium that had a bunch of different fish. Daddy pointed them out to me and I was fascinated by them. I just watched them swim around and around.

I already had my lunch, so when it was time for Mommy and Daddy to eat lunch I waited patiently and just had a drink. I was curious about the food that they got, but I didn’t really try to snatch anything off their plates. I knew that it wasn’t food for me and that

The more mobile I get, the more there is to see, and the more I’m told not to touch things. Exploring is fun, but there sure are a lot of restrictions.
