Today I tried oyaki. There weren’t any new ingredients, it was just stuff I have had before in a different form. Think of it as a baby pancake. It is suppose to help me work on biting, chewing and feeding myself. Mommy and Daddy were worried that I was going to wolf down the thing […]
Sometimes I’m so tired that even though I wake up for my midnight bottle, I go straight back to sleep as soon as I finish it. Well, it’s not like I’m awake for very long. Recently I finish my 200ml (6.76oz) bottle of formula in less than 4 minutes. I usually get burped after, but
Whew! Pulling up to standing is quite a workout. It is not as easy as it looks. Must rehydrate.
I did it! I told you I would and I did! I pulled myself up to standing. Actually I did it several times today. The first two times Mommy and Daddy didn’t see me pull myself up. They just saw me standing up next to the couch. I had done it so quickly and quietly
I tried green peppers today. They are one of the most common foods that kids in Japan don’t like. I thought they were alright, if not pretty good. Then I had a really good taste. Nah, this is not my favorite. In fact, I might not like them. I might have to agree with all
When I wake up and am set free on the floor, I make my presence known. I immediately play with my toys and effectively scatter them across the floor. Then I explore, or more accurately re-explore everything around me on the floor. There are still limits to where I can go, as there are barriers
With all the solid foods that I’m eating now, two meals a day, I don’t get nursed as much as before. But when I do, I take it very seriously. Very seriously.
Ojisan had to go back to Tokyo today, so we went to see him off at the airport. I have never been to an airport before. It was not that exciting at first when it just looked like a lot of people pulling heavy looking things. Then I saw the airplanes! They are so cool
With so many milestones in my development accomplished, I have to look forward to the next one, which is standing. I have pretty strong legs and can hold my self upright if Mommy or Daddy do the balancing for me. They have to be careful, because sometimes it looks like I am doing well holding
It’s a bit embarrassing, but I don’t have much hair on the back of my head. It is quite common with babies during their first year. It usually comes from them rubbing their head when they sleep. I’ve been sleeping on my tummy every night for about a month so I hope my hair decides
I had just finished my dinner and was brushing my teeth when I heard Daddy listening to some kids’ songs on his computer. I thought they were really catchy and I just had to dance along to them. Recently I’ve been doing this head shake thing. I usually do it when I’m just happy in
With all the toys that I got for Christmas, I still like to play with random things around the house. I’m a big fan of the circulating fan. I always found it interesting. Nowadays I like to push it around like a toy car. It doesn’t do much else, but I visit it almost every
I like music a lot, and one of the best places to find children’s songs is on children’s TV programs. There are a bunch in the afternoon. They are kind of like what Sesame Street is in America. There is a lot of singing, bright colors and characters, and lessons about how to be a
Why is that all the things that I find interesting are not safe for me to play with? Or maybe the question is why do I find things that are not safe for me to play with interesting? Either way, Mommy and Daddy used to keep my lotion in my diaper organizer, but then I
I love eating so much! But it is hard to enjoy the meal when I know that it is going to end. The most upsetting words for me are “All gone” or sometimes “All done”. I do not like it when my meal is over. But Mommy and Daddy have figured out that even though
