Wake up, sleep, wake up

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 is […]

Midnight feeding

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. When

Mommy’s Birthday

Daddy and I threw a surprise birthday party for Mommy today! She was very surprised and happy! We had to rush it because we did it during Daddy’s lunch break. We couldn’t do it at night because of my bedtime and my mood is not always great in the evening. Still, a noon party worked

Excited

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 ups

Growing hair

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

Fight with sea otter

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,

More things to put in my mouth

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!

Getting use to rolling over

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.

Sushi

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 a

Spoon practice

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 practicing

Holoholo observation

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!

Being eaten alive

My whole body is covered with softness. My arms, legs and cheeks are like daifuku mochi. I can’t blame Mommy and Daddy for always chewing on my arms and legs. Being eaten alive is just a part of being this cute!

I don’t know

As a baby there are a lot of things that are just decided for me. What I eat, what I where, when I sleep, where I go, etc.. There was a time when I thought I wanted to be a little more independent and have a say in my life. But it turns out that

Pudgy rolls

This is not my favorite picture. Sure, I’m sleeping peacefully and it looks cute, but the picture is about 70% pudgy rolls. I looks like you can almost reach out and touch the soft pudginess.

First roll over

I did it! I finally did it! I rolled over! Yay me!!! I’ve been working so hard on it and now I finally did it! I’m so happy! It was tough, but I had a little help from my sea otter friend.

Relaxing massage

Today is Daddy’s day off and he started it off by giving me a relaxing massage. I like the weekends. It is so relaxing to just stay home with family. Ahh, that’s nice.

Massage

Today is Daddy’s day off and he spent the morning giving me a relaxing massage. Yes, babies need to relax too. I’m sure it was relaxing and therapeutic for Daddy as well.

Real tears

Not everything life is smiles and laughter. There are times for real tears. What time is this? I don’t really remember. I just remember the crying and the tears.

Asleep or Awake? Either way, happy!

I have a quiz for you. Am I asleep or awake in this video? What do you think? The answer? I have no idea. At least I’m happy!
