Finger food

Yum! There are this tiny little sausage like things that are always nearby that are so tasty to chew on. I haven’t yet managed to actually eat them, but I do munch away on them quite often. They come in packs of five. Four of them are about the same size, but one of them

Burning rubber

The engine is running and I’m gassing it, but I’m not moving anywhere. I’m just burning rubber.

Feral

I love my doggies! They are my friends who keep me company and watch over me. The probably is that they can turn feral sometimes and bite the hand that feeds them. Nah, they’re not feral. We’re just playing. Besides, they can’t bite the hand that feeds them because nobody feeds them. Hmmm. Hunger might

Back for more nephew time

I was surprised to see my uncle back for another visit today. He only had a few days in his hometown and he decided to dedicate a second day to visiting me! I think he really adores me. He was brave enough to hold me even more than before. Not an easy task considering how

Stretches

It is important to do stretches. First of all, I don’t want to pull a muscle or anything. I’m very active and am moving almost all the time. Warmups and stretches are a very important part of my day. Another reason to do stretches is to increase my reach. If I stretch a little every

Inai inai ba

You know how I like peekaboo? Well, I like “inai inai ba” just as well. It’s pretty much the same thing. Unlike peekaboo, there is a bit more of a build up to the great reveal.

Sphinx

How do you like my imitation of a sphinx? Not bad, huh? Sorry, no riddles for you at this point. I’ll work on it.

Stripping

I figured out why baby clothes all have buttons at the bottom. It’s to prevent babies from stripping down and going naked. I know clothes are cute on babies, but I think we were meant to be bare and free! I must rid myself of this cumbersome covering!

I am HUNGRY!

When I get hungry I am REALLY hungry! The only thing on my mind is nursing. It is sometimes frustrating when I get hungry before my feeding time. I know where to get my food, but I’m not allowed to eat yet. All I can do is scream, “I am HUNGRY!”

Size: 9M

We went shopping and found a nice outfit for me. Mommy and Daddy were having trouble with the sizes because I’m not yet 3 months old, but I was obviously too big for the 3M size. Even the 6M size looked like it would be a little too small on me or only be good

Hide-and-seek

Daddy and I discovered a new way to play hide-and-seek without having to get up and run around. He basically hides behind the mirror and arches of my play mat and I have to find him. It sounds simple, but it’s no. It sounds boring, but it’s not. I love it! It is so much

Sportsman

I’m a bit of a sportsman. I can’t stand staying still and like moving around a lot so I decided to pick up a few sports. Not only are they fun, but they help me keep fit. I’ve been doing boxing for quite some time now. I like to punch the toys hanging from my

Tummy nap

I have a reputation for not liking to be put down for naps, opting to be held when I sleep. I can sleep in my crib at night, but during the day when I’m put down for my nap I snap awake in a bad mood. Grandma suggested that I try napping on my tummy,

Daddy chat: Relaxed

You’ve seen how talkative I can be when chatting with Daddy. But that is not always the case. Sometimes I’m pretty relaxed and chill during our chats. I just like to sit in his lap and listen to his voice. Instead of giving him my attention, a lot of times I like to look at

Waking up

Some mornings I’m just awake and happy from the get go. Other mornings it takes a while for me to wake up. I start my morning like this: Then I go through this: And then end up like this: If you ask me, it’s worth the slow process!

Uncle

I met my uncle for the first time today! He is a teacher in Tokyo and came home for the summer break. He was very excited to meet me for the first time. He was very happy to see me and was instantly infatuated by me. At first he gave me my space, but kept

After meal

I’m usually in my best moods right after I eat. I either drift off into a deep peaceful sleep or I am very alert and responsive. This morning was the latter. I was alert, responsive, and happy, but also busy digesting my meal. What a good start to the day!

Off mat

I really enjoy my mat time! I enjoy it so much that I get too excited and start kicking a lot. So much that I sometimes kick myself right off my play mat. I don’t get hurt, but I do get surprised. The floor is hard and cold, which can be quite a shock. But

Oh me oh my

Why so dramatic, you ask? We are forced to take refuge in our bedroom. Nah, it’s nothing like that. Every apartment in our building is getting new air conditioners installed so we are just hanging out in the bedroom until the installation is done. It is a different environment to spend the day in, hence
