My deepest sleep usually comes after nursing. I am so satisfied and full that I fall into a comfortable deep sleep. That puts me interesting sleeping poses right after nursing. But that often means that when it is time to move to my sleeping mat or bed that I am more likely to sleep peacefully.

We were playing on my mat and Daddy started covering me with it to see what I did. I have to say, I didn’t hate it. It was fun! I think it is an early stage of peek-a-boo.

I have been smiling a lot lately. And most of those are for Mommy. When I see her or hear her, I light up and smile! I absolutely adore my Mommy!

We went for our daily walk and since it was so hot, Mommy and Daddy picked up something to drink from a convenience store. But when we got home, we found that it was shady and breezy outside so they decided to enjoy their refreshments outside. It was nice to be able to relax inContinue reading “Home outdoor cafe”

I was a bit fussy again today. A little bit of cabin fever perhaps. It’s not good to be cooped up indoors all day. But it is also extremely hot outside in the sun. So the veranda is the perfect place for a nap since it is outside, provides cover from the harsh sun, andContinue reading “Veranda Napping”

Sometimes when I sleep on Daddy’s chest I kind of look like a tree frog. I act like a tree frog too. I’m surprising sticky and I don’t slide off. Do you see the resemblance?

I have been playing more on my play mat and not just lying there staring at myself. I am very kicky. I end up kicking on of the supports that holds up the mirror. It is half on purpose and half by accident, but I would still call it playing.

I woke up in a pretty good mood, and so did Mommy. So we spent the morning just chatting and catching up. I filled her in on what I’ve been doing, eating, pooping, sleeping, etc.. She seemed very interested and happy to hear everything I had to say.

I really like being carried and rocked. That is usually how Mommy and Daddy calm me down and eventually lull me to sleep. Even if I’m not sleepy, I can usually take a deep breath and relax. It is great when I’m in a bad mood and fussing. Being carried and rocked usually leaves meContinue reading “Rocking with Daddy”

It was a long rough day today. It seems that after I have a very good day, behaving myself like a good little boy, I often have a rough day of a lot of fussing. Mommy and Daddy understand that and took extra care to try and make this a relaxing day for me. ThatContinue reading “Baby massage”

Not every minute of every day is bright and happy. I have my sad moments too. I show off my powerful lungs and cry! Oh boy, do I cry. This was not a particularly special crying moment. This is just another time when I’m not happy. The nice thing is that it doesn’t last forever.Continue reading “Crying”

My hair is getting longer and thicker, my eyebrows more pronounced, and it looks like my eyelashes are getting longer too.

I was such a good boy yesterday, that I think I overdid it. I have not been in a great mood today. Maybe I’m still tired or maybe I am still worked up form my time outside yesterday, but I did not wake up on the right side of the bed. But as it isContinue reading “Bad mood → sleep → good mood”

That was one busy day. I just need to lay back and unwind a bit. I was on my best behavior. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me. Again, I put my best foot forward when necessary. Now I can just chill.

I’m so happy that I got to meet Obaasan today! She was very happy to see me and to hold me for the first time. She said that I was big and looked very healthy. I think she looked very healthy today. She was in the hospital for a few months but was able toContinue reading “Meeting Obaasan”

It looks like all my tummy time exercise has been paying off. I can hold my head up easier and longer now. Which is great, because there is so much more to see with my head up. I think I’m going to enjoy this!

I’m back from the American Consulate. Everything went smoothly, so I should be getting my passport in a few weeks. It was my first trip on the subway and I was fine. Actually, I was sleeping so I don’t remember anything about the subway. I only remember being comfortable in my baby carrier. I wasContinue reading “Back from the consulate”
