I saw Daddy leave the living room so I crawled off to find him. I found him, or more like he found me. I followed him a little more and extended my exploration. While exploring, I found myself in the entryway. I’ve passed through here many times, but I’ve never taken the time to exploreContinue reading “Crawling off and back”

I got to play in blanket waves again, but I’m getting braver in the surf so now I jump into the waves. The ocean spits me back on the couch so that I can enjoy more waves and jump back in. I had a blast! I can’t wait until I can jump into real wavesContinue reading “Blanket wave jumps”

Exploring under the table while Mommy and Daddy eat lunch is pretty much routine now. It is a fun place to be. It is kind of like having a fort. I’m just a bit to tall to stand up straight so I have to hunch down just a little me. I also have to watchContinue reading “Under the table”

I’m sitting seiza (proper Japanese sitting) to play with my toys. What good manners!

My food is all gone! Someone ate it all up! Sure, it was me, but I still want more. I’m not feeling happy right now.

I have an update on the Valentine’s Day card that I got from Grandma and Grandpa: I ate it. Actually, to be more accurate, I ate part of the envelope. Just so that there is not confusion, I did not just playfully chew on it. I actually ate part of it. I like to playContinue reading “Valentine’s munchies”

I got a Valentine’s day card today! It is my first one ever! It was from people who love me very much, Grandma and Grandpa! It was a really cute card with finger puppets. Neat!

What do you mean all my food is gone? I’m not happy about this. Really? Truly? Aw, shucks. I’m okay now. Wanna play?

I like to visit Daddy at his desk while he works from home. I think he enjoys my visits as well. I always smile when I see him and he smile back. He’ll talk to me or sometimes let me sit on his lap for a while. I usually explore around his desk, try toContinue reading “Visiting Daddy at work and pooping”

I’m learning to look beyond the room I’m in. When Mommy leaves the living room I have a general idea where she is so I try to follow her. But there is this door in the way. I know she is somewhere on the other side but I can’t see her. This makes me sad.

If I told Daddy once, I told him a thousand times, I’m not sleepy. He kept asking me and I kept shaking my head. Why would he think I was sleepy? Sure, it was my nap time and my movements were a bit erratic, and my eyes were droopy. But I’m not sleepy. Update: 10Continue reading “NOT sleepy”

I fell out of bed this morning. You might be wondering how that is possible. You know that I sleep in a crib and it has sides all around. Well, I climbed over the sides. Not really on purpose, but kind of on purpose. I woke up and was calling to be picked up. IContinue reading “Falling out of bed”

We had some quiet time after all the playing I was doing. Daddy put on one of my kids’ shows on the TV. I liked watching the shows, but I think Daddy was less interested in my shows. He got quite drowsy so he put a cushion around me to keep me safe.

I’m getting better at eating food with my fingers. I had no problem picking up the food, but my grip was too strong so I had some trouble eating it. I smooshed the vegetables and they would fall apart in my hands. Still, I did a good job and enjoyed my snack.

I love climbing the couch! I get so excited sometimes that it is easy to lose my balance. And depending on the position of cushions it is easy to get stuck too.

With a full tummy I was pretty sleepy, so I took a nap in my baby carrier while Mommy and Daddy did their shopping. I woke up refreshed and with an imprint on my cheek. Mommy and Daddy still had some shopping to do after I woke up, but I was very patient. I quiteContinue reading “Shopping”

We had some shopping to do, but we figured we’d stop by a coffee shop on the way to the shopping mall. They have this nice special where you get free toast and a hard boiled egg when you order a coffee. I didn’t get to eat any of those things, although I have hadContinue reading “Coffee shop stop”
