I had a rough night last night. Can you tell? The night started off okay, I went to sleep as usual and slept for several hours until my midnight bottle. But then after my bottle I just couldn’t get back to sleep. I cried for a really long time and just couldn’t seem to put […]
Udon in shiitake dashi with bits of shiitake mushrooms. Very tasty! I like the umami flavor!
Mommy made it bouncy and wobbly! It made it hard to climb but it was a lot of fun! It was like I was jumping without jumping!
I eat lunch before Mommy and Daddy, so when it is their turn to eat I don’t have anyone to play with. I usually play on my own, but sometimes I want to be closer to them so I visit them at the dining table. Sometimes I stand up next to Daddy’s chair begging for
In the blue corner, we have the challenger, weighing in at 10kg, fighting to stay awake, Mason “Showdown” Shoma! Within all four corners, we have the reigning champion, with a perfect record of knockouts, the “Sweet Dreams Sandman” the CRIB! When I wake up in the middle of the night I really wake up. I
The couch has become a central part of my life. With all my climbing, a lot of what I do during the day takes place on or around the couch. When I’m on my own, I climb and explore. There are a bunch of things on the shelf behind the couch that I’m not supposed
Look at how big I’ve gotten! I can barely fit in Daddy’s arms anymore. Daddy has promised me that he will always hold me and carry me when I need it. I hope that is true, but I think Daddy is going to have to keep growing to be able to keep that promise. When
I’m a big boy now and don’t have to be carried everywhere we go. I sometimes will sit in the strollers or shopping card seas that are at the store where we are shopping. I like it more than the carrier because I have more freedom of movement and can see a lot more. The
Now that it is so easy for me to get up on the couch all on my own, I sometimes lounge and relax there. But only for a minute. Then I’m up and about again, exploring and climbing.
I have a new stepping stool. It helps me get to things that are just out of my reach. But it is not as stable as I’d like. It is rounded at the edges, soft in certain parts, and cries out in pain sometimes. Oh, did I forget to mention that my step stool is
Look who is 9 months old! That is 3/4 years old! Wow! Time is really flying by. This past month has been a month of improvement instead of breakthroughs. I’m crawling faster, standing easier, climbing higher, and just doing everything better. I’m very active during the day exploring the house and climbing everything in sight.
We sometimes refer to my chair as the “happy chair” because that is where I eat and when I eat I am happy. But we forget that once the food is gone, it is no longer a “happy” chair, but just a chair. I don’t want to sit in just a regular chair. So recently
“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.†― Alfred That’s good advice, Alfred. Very good advice.
I’ve very good at supported walking. I can hold on to the coffee table and sidestep around it. I usually do this to try to reach something that Mommy and Daddy have put out of my reach. This is often their phones or the remote. But today I saw Mommy eating some delicious looking breakfast
These days, I spend a lot of time on the couch. I’m not vegging out or being lazy or anything like that. I’m always very active. I’m climbing, exploring, searching for hidden phones and remote controls, and in general very busy. The couch is not a place to sit and relax for me. It is
I thought I had a lot of hair before, but look at it now! It just keeps growing and growing! Look how long and luscious it is! I can’t believe I use to think I had a lot of hair at one month old. That is nothing compared to now!
It is fun to horse around, but it is important that no one gets hurt. I think I may be too strong. I may have to dial it back a bit. Poor Daddy. Not only did he get pinned, he might have lost some hair too. Horsey back rides are starting to make it into
