Now that I’m eating solid foods, I’m also practicing drinking something other than milk. I’m drinking barely tea out of my baby mug. It has different tops for me to practice with. The first stage is a practice straw where suckling and sucking brings the tea up the straw and then I can drink. It […]
As you know, I am only allowed a small amount of solid foods at a time. I don’t like it when my food is gone, so I try to get every last bit of food that I can. If that means sucking the flavor out of my spoon, that’s what I’m going to do!
I have a habit of falling back to sleep after I feed in the morning. I’m supposed wake up, feed, and then start my day. But I when I feel full and satisfied I get sleepy and drift back to slumber. But the morning is very bright and it is hard to stay asleep, so
Daddy is usually in charge of my late-night/early -morning bottle. He does a good job, but somethings he is really sleepy and ends up nearly dozing on the job. I have to help him hold my bottle. I also help adjust the angle for optimal formula intake.
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night hungry? You know, so hungry that you’d eat just about anything? Well, that happens to me a lot. But I figured out a way to satisfy that hunger. Yum!
Since birth I’ve always had a lot of hair, but I’m surprised that it just keeps growing. Check out that hair! There is so much of it!
I love being carried. It doesn’t matter how I’m carried, I just like being in Mommy and Daddy’s arms. So even when I’m being carried like this, I’m happy!
I really like my chew toy. I know it sounds like a pet product, but I don’t know what else to call it. It’s not a teething ring and it’s not quite a rattle, even though it does rattle a little bit. I think “chew toy” is the best description. Even though I like it
I’ve been spending a lot of time with my doggy. He actually used to be Mommy’s doggy. Daddy gave him to her a long time ago. I think it was one of his first gifts to her. He is a very gentle and well behaved dog. He never barks or bites, and is always by
This is becoming my favorite time of day. Food time! I eat solid foods for one of my meals and am nursed for the rest. I hear that some babies are picky eaters and don’t really like solid foods at first. Not me. I love it! Give me more! Not only am I an eager
Just a post-nursing morning nap with my doggy for company. Don’t we look cute? Just to be clear, I’m the cute one on the left.
Mommy and Daddy just adore me and think I’m the cutest thing on earth. At times they think I might be mistaken for a girl. If I had longer hair or if you cover my hair, I just might.
5 months old. Can you believe it? I feels just like yesterday that I was turning 4 months old. I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. Without a doubt, I have been growing a lot these past 5 months. But I feel like this last month was more developmental growth than size. I
Mommy and Daddy are always finding new ways to entertain me. A lot of the things they do are random, off-the-cuff, one-time, gags that they just do, not really expecting much reaction from me. But the most weird things make me laugh and I get hooked. Take today for example. They bought toothpaste and Daddy
I don’t know why I cross my legs like that. Apparently I do it a lot. I wasn’t even aware that I do it. Maybe it makes me feel secure. I don’t know. It’s not that weird, is it?
In Japan, there are a lot of aisatsu to remember. Aisatsu are kind of like greetings, but overall are just the polite and proper thing to say in different situations. Before we eat, we put our hands together and say “itadakimasu” which is like thanks for the food and the people who made it. When
Just because I’m a baby and haven’t learned how to talk yet, doesn’t mean I don’t have a voice. I actually have a lot to say. Every once in a while I speak up and let everyone know what I’m thinking and I do so eloquently and deliberately. I will not be silenced. I have
I think I’m getting too big for my play mat. No matter how I’m positioned, it seems that part of me is bumping up again the supports or the toys hanging from it. If I kick my likes, which I like to do, the whole thing shakes. My play mat is fun, but it might
