I’m just checking the other things besides the mirror on my play mat. I even had some modified tummy time on my play mat.

We had a visit from a city employed midwife today. They visit all newborns’ households on their 50th day since birth to see how they are doing and to answer questions and give advice to the new parents. As a first impression, the midwife was very surprised by my size. I think she subtly doubleContinue reading “Midwife visit”

I’m really digging my new play mat. It is quite entertaining. I haven’t quite mastered grabbing on to things and feeling the different textures and materials. But I have mastered staring at my handsome face in the mirror. At times that is all I do. I can’t get enough of myself. Overall, the play matContinue reading “Play mat”

Riding in the car is usually very comfortable for me and I am lulled to sleep by the vibrations of the car. But sometimes I am not in a good mood and have to endure the car ride until we get to our destination because there is no way for Mommy or Daddy to pickContinue reading “Ready for a ride”

I ran out of things to do. I slept, I cried, I nursed, I peed, I pooped, I hiccuped, I smiled, I stared off into the distance, and I flailed my arms and legs. What else is there to do for a baby? Bored.

I have been smiling a lot more lately. Sometimes it is very random and I smile when Mommy or Daddy talks to me. Sometimes I just smile for no reason. But I have figured this camera thing out and realize that I’m supposed to smile when it is pointed at me, (which, let’s be honest,Continue reading “Big smile”

Now this is nice. I’m not to fond of my crib sometimes, but I love my Daddy bed. So comfy and warm. It even comes with its own soothing white noise rhythm machine. The top of my Daddy bed is a bit prickly, but other than that, this is so comfortable.

I mentioned before that when I fall asleep on someone, there is little for them to do. They are often forced to reach for the TV remote control with their feet. But sometimes a PlayStation4 controller is at hand. This makes babysitting a sleeping baby a lot more interesting. FYI: Apparently Daddy played better thanContinue reading “Gamer babysitting”

Daddy and I went for a nice long walk today. We figured we should give Mommy some time to rest, since I’m literally sucking the energy out of her. We walked for about 30 minutes around town and I saw a lot of cool things. We even stopped for a rest at a nice littleContinue reading “Walk to the park”

I was chatting with Grandma and Grandpa on FaceTime, as we do once or twice a week, and I was showing off my beautiful smiles. I have been smiling a lot lately. I’m like a smile sniper sometimes. We may not be doing anything particularly special, and then I’ll flash Mommy and Daddy a coupleContinue reading “Bunch of smiles for Grandma and Grandpa”

Nitori, I’m waiting for your people to call my people about a modeling gig. My price is quite reasonable and I accept breast milk as payment.

You’ve seen my new play mat, but you may not have seen me play on my play mat yet. That’s because I still haven’t worked out how to play yet. I can move a lot. I can accidentally touch toys with my arms and hands. But “play”, not yet. One thing I do really wellContinue reading “Play mat”

I really like my new play mat. It is a great place just to lounge and relax. It is also big enough for Mommy or Daddy to join me. We have a chat, play a bit, and read some books.

Sometimes when I’m tired or after I cry, I get double eyelids. Other times, they just kind of appear. I don’t know about you, but Mommy and Daddy think the double eyelids make my eyes look “prettier”. I’m not sure about “prettier” but they sure do pop!

We went shopping today and got me a cool-to-the-touch baby mat from Nitori’s N Cool line. It will help me beat the summer heat. It looks really comfortable, doesn’t it? Don’t I look like one of those babies from the advertisement shots? Hey, Nitori, if you are looking for another baby model, give me aContinue reading “N Cool”

Oh my god! I can’t believe it! This can’t be true. It must be a mistake. I gained weight again! I am now 6120 g (13.5 lbs)! I went from 6000 g to 6120 g in four days. That is a 2% weight gain. Sure, 120 g weight gain may not sound like much, butContinue reading “2% Weight Gain”

Tummy time can be a chore for us babies. It feels strange and is not as comfortable as being on our backs. Also, it is quite a workout. But, now that I have this handy mirror to check myself out in, I don’t mind the workout as much. I can actually see my progress. IContinue reading “Tummy Time: Checking me out”

I take some really good naps. Sometimes my naps are better than my sleep at night. To make sure I can sleep at night and that I am fed at the right time, Mommy and Daddy sometimes have to urge me to wake up from my naps during the day. But sometimes I am justContinue reading “Not ready to wake up”

Swaddling still doesn’t really work for me. It lasts for a bit, and it helps me to slip into a deeper sleep, which is good. But soon, I burst free from its bonds, able to flail my arms and legs again. I must admit, though, it can be comforting for a while. Maybe I’ll giveContinue reading “Temporary Swaddle”

The weather is getting to be hotter and hotter, so sometimes I ditch my outer layer of clothes and just lounge around in my inner garments. I didn’t realize that in certain positions they can be revealing and somewhat provocative. It looks like I have a bit of cleavage there. Well, if you got it,Continue reading “Cleavage”
