I came to visit Daddy at work and he was happy to see me, but could play with me. I offered to help him with his work, but there wasn’t much that I could do. I was not happy about that.

I was watching Mommy hang out the laundry today and was wondering why grownups get to have all the fun. I can’t wait until I can hang out the laundry!

There is so much to see at the park. Blooming sakura (cherry blossoms) and locks on the gate to the sand box. Fascinating!

I’m not really into TV that much, but every so often a kids’ program catches my eye and enthralls me. I can’t help myself. A lot of those shows are very cute and catchy.

A typical toy rotation for me. I play with my toys that are out and then dive into my toy box to see what else there is to play with.

Sometimes I get so involved in my books I forget that I’m not wearing any pants. Does that ever happen to you?

Whether shopping or eating lunch, I’m always observing my surroundings. I am so curious that I feel like I have to look at everything.

I kind of got turned around during my exploration today and I forgot where I was or what I was looking for. Then I remembered I wanted to find Mommy and returned back to where I had left her. Whew! What a relief.

When getting ready in the morning I like to help choose my outfit. The way I help is by removing all the clothes from the drawer that I can. Mommy and Daddy tell me that I’m not helping, but I think it is easier to choose an outfit when you first see all your options.

I tried green beans today and I liked it! At least I think I did. They were mixed in with a bunch of other good stuff. Nevertheless, I ate all of it.

More and more I can play on my own. I no longer need to be entertained by Mommy or Daddy. Of course, I love it when they play with me, interact with me, and entertain me, but sometimes I just want to do things on my own. I move around from toy to toy, read every book I can get my hands on, and overall make a big mess. That’s what playtime is all about!

I usually take very short naps, only 30 minutes or so. But every so often I have a nice long peaceful nap, and that usually takes place when I nap on Daddy and he falls asleep too. This morning we had a very long nap. So long that I had an impression on my cheek after.

The nice thing about nice long naps is that Daddy and I feel very refreshed and happy when we wake up!

Mommy and Daddy love watching me army crawl. I have this cute little butt wiggle as I move along my way. Unfortunately I don’t get to see it. But now you can.

The only time I can get my hair under any kind of control is right after my bath when my hair is still damp. Any other time it sticks up and curls up and is basically uncontrollable. Once my hair dries it will start to come alive again. This is a very brief period when I have a hair helmet. It kind of looks like a Lego figure hair helmet.

Oops! I’m partially exposed. But, what a cute butt (and butt crack)!

I love going to the park! Not only is it nice to go outside and get some fresh air, but there is so many fun things that I can do now. I can swing on the swings, have a picnic, explore my surroundings, touch new things, play with bubbles, slide on the slide, and so many other new things to discover. The park is full of so much fun!
