This past month Daddy has been working from home, which I am really happy about, but it is hard for me to understand why he is at home but not spending the whole day with me. He checks on me whenever he can and we can spend his lunch hour together, but it is notContinue reading “Daddy’s working”

Mommy weighed me today, and I’m happy to say that my sky rocketing weight gain has suddenly plateaued. I am 9510g (20.97 lbs.) fully clothed. About a month ago I was 9210g (20.3 lbs). So that is only a 300g increase compared to about 1kg increase from 3 months old to 4 months old. ItContinue reading “Weight plateau”

There is this rectangular object in our living room that has a lot of pictures and makes a lot of sounds. Apparently it is called “TV”. Mommy and Daddy play my nursery rhymes and songs on it as they sing to me. And they turn it on for the kids shows in the afternoon. I’mContinue reading “TV”

Most of my daytime naps start off like this. I’m so big and heavy, that Mommy needs to use a baby carrier to carry me for long periods of time. Her poor back is suffering a lot because of my size. Just carrying and rocking me is quite a workout for her, so she needsContinue reading “Day time naps”

Once I rolled over the first time, it was easy to do it a second time…and a third, and fourth…let’s just say I’m rolling over all the time now. And I mean all the time. Mommy and Daddy turn away for a second and the next thing they know, I’m on my tummy. I stillContinue reading “Tummy breaks”

Mommy put me down for awhile to let me relax and have some quiet time. And then she lay down beside me to take a break as well. Daddy saw us taking a break and decided to jump in on the activity (or lack thereof). I guess relaxing is a group effort in this family.

Yep, I’m crying. Why? I don’t know…I’m a baby. I just cry sometimes. I know it is hard for Mommy and Daddy who try to figure out what’s wrong and try to help me calm down, but sometimes I just have to cry for no reason. It’s like baby law or something.

Well, I found my feet. I always knew they were down there, and I’ve seen them time to time, but I finally got a hold of them. I still haven’t figured out what they’re for, though. I kick them around and thump them on the floor, but they don’t seem to be very useful. IContinue reading “Found my feet”

Sometimes it takes me a couple of tries to wake up. I wake up, stir and stretch a bit, and then fall back asleep. Only to wake up again a few minutes (or moments) later in a worse mood than before. Waking up is not my strong point. Come to think of it, neither isContinue reading “Wake up, sleep, wake up”

I am proud to say that it has been a long time since I cried throughout the night. For the past couple months I’ve slept quite well, waking only for feeding or burping. I easily sleep for 4 hours at a time, but sometimes I can sleep 6 hours before I wake up hungry. WhenContinue reading “Midnight feeding”

I can confidently say that I’m a happy boy. I have a great life and a great family. Just realizing that makes me smile and I get really excited. When I get excited I have flail my arms and legs because I have no better way to express that happiness. I rarely see grown upsContinue reading “Excited”

My hair is still growing thick and long. Look at it now! Wow! It might be time for a haircut soon.

My sea otter friend and I are usually on good terms. We play together, keep each other company, and listen to each other (I listen to his music and he listens to my coos). But sometimes we fight as friends sometimes do. I think we’re playing and then it turns into a fight. As usual,Continue reading “Fight with sea otter”

My gums are so itchy recently. I was told that this is called “teething”. I don’t like it. I’m drooling all the time all over the place and I have to, and I mean have to, put everything I get my hands on into my mouth to chew on. Aaaaahhh. So itchy!

I don’t get why it took me so long to roll over. It is so easy now. I can’t believe I wasted so much time on my back and side when I could have easily just rolled over. It is so simple now. I just shift my weight and there I am on my belly.Continue reading “Getting use to rolling over”

Mommy and Daddy treated themselves to some good sushi tonight. Usually they order Uber Eats sushi from a 100 yen sushi place. You know those conveyor belt sushi places. But the decided to splurge and get sushi from a higher end place. I must admit that the spread looked really good. I even made aContinue reading “Sushi”

As I get bigger, I have to start preparing to eat solid foods. But before I do that, I have to practice using a spoon. So we started that practice today. My first spoonful ended up running down my chin, but I got the hang of eating with a spoon very quickly. We were practicingContinue reading “Spoon practice”

I used to fall asleep during holoholo. The vibrations of the stroller used to put me to sleep but recently I stay up to look out at the world. There are so many things to look at!
