New chew toy

I made an amazing discovery today! The flooring mat is made of panels and has interlocking pieces, including a border that goes all the way around. That border can be separated from the mat and that means that it is supposed to go in my mouth to be chewed. Why else would they make it […]

Frustrated trying to crawl

This crawling thing is really hard! Why can’t I get it? It is so frustrating! I want to crawl, and kind of know how to crawl, but I can’t do it. Will I ever get it? So frustrating!

Cushion desk

Look at me with my cushion desk. It helps keep me safe when I’m practicing sitting and it makes me look very professional. “Hello! How may I help you?”

Bad dream

I have a pretty reliable feeding schedule. I wake up between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. for my late night feeding. But sometimes I wake up before that. Well, not really wake up. I cry because I had a bad dream. I’m not quite awake, so it is harder for Mommy and Daddy to comfort

New Lion King cast member

Don’t get too excited, I’m not playing a major character. I’m just zebra #2 right now. But I have plans to move up in the ranks. Simba, here I come.

Frustrated with the Rubik’s cube

I don’t get it. I could solve the Rubik’s cube before without any problems. Why is it giving me so my trouble today? Maybe I’m just not on my game today. It’s quite frustrating not being able to solve this thing. Aaaaarrrghh!

Half birthday special meal

I’m too young to eat a birthday cake, so Mommy made me a special half birthday meal! It is made completely out of my normal solid foods. I had rice porridge, carrots, broccoli, and corn. These are all my favorites! I was so excited to get a special half birthday meal that I couldn’t wait!

Half a year old!

I’m half a year old! Can you believe it? I’m so old that I can count my age in years instead of months. Half a year old sounds so much more mature than 6 months old. It goes without saying that I have grown a lot in 6 months. My weight gain has leveled off

Morning nap

Waking up is a lot of work. Time for a nap.

Bundled up

It has been getting colder over here. You may have noticed that I am no longer wearing short sleeve clothes and I usually have a couple of layers on. Because of the cooling weather, it is pretty cold after I finish my bath. Mommy and Daddy have to bundle me up really well to make

Tag

With all the toys and teething goods that I have to chew on, I choose the tag on my play mat. Go figure.

Post diaper change nap

I find the weirdest places comfortable. I don’t really like being put down in my crib to sleep, but I’ll fall asleep on my changing mat after a morning diaper change. I guess I enjoy having more room on the floor than being cramped in my crib.

Reenergized after bottle

Most nights when I finish my late night bottle I’m quite sleepy and drift right off to sleep. But sometimes that bottle reenergizes me and wakes me up. I don’t know why. It’s not like bottle is filled with coffee or Red Bull or anything. It’s strange, but quite entertaining.

Sitting boy

I’ve been getting better at sitting on my own. Mommy and Daddy still have to watch me carefully and be ready to catch me if I topple over. But recently when I do topple over it has been slower as if I’m trying to rebalance myself. I’m making progress.

Cream bread

There is a Japanese pastry called cream bread that has a very particular shape. Mommy often comments on how my hand looks like cream bread. I’m not sure I see the resemblance. Can you?

Target acquired

Remember I mentioned how I always try to reach my diaper storage box? Here is a picture of me in action trying to get to it. Just ignore the fact that Daddy is trying to get some pants on me.

Daddy distraction during the witching hour

It is that time of day again where I get quite fussy and cranky. It is common thing with many babies. Mommy and Daddy try to keep me comfortable and entertained to try and push past the witching hour. So sometimes the key thing is to keep me distracted. Thus “Mason Sandwich” was born. I’m
