With all the travel restrictions nowadays, I haven’t been able to see Grandma and Grandpa in person yet. But we still find ways to have fun during our weekly FaceTime chats. We even got to play one of my favorite games. I love knocking things over, so Grandma stacked some blocks in Hawaii and I knocked them over again and again! It was a lot of fun! Technology is amazing! I didn’t know that Apple came up with block-knocking-over-technology into iPads. It just works!
I’m getting better and better at feeding myself. I am trying to slow down and take my time. I’m also making a conscious effort not to stuff my mouth with all the food I see. I think I’m doing pretty good.
Yep, I’m still poo grunting. For me, it is the best way to gather my strength to move my bowels. Also, it gives Mommy and Daddy a heads up that I’m going to be needing a diaper change soon.
Once I am done moving my bowels and have a clean pair of diapers on, I feel a whole lot better! I’m ready to face the day. Let’s go!
The weather has been warming up a bit recently. I still wear long sleeve shirts and long pants, but sometimes I have short sleeves on my undershirt. It makes it easier to change my clothes throughout the day to match the temperature.
I’m finally figuring out how to step down from the couch instead of going head first and just hoping I don’t hurt myself. I must say, feet first is much safer.
I like to help get my bath ready. I think the shower is really interesting. I’m getting more and more fascinated by water. When the weather gets warmer, I can’t wait to go to a pool and start swimming. I also find the little machine that operates our tub to be very interesting. It controls the temperature and amount of water in the but and it even tells us when the tub is nearly ready. Cool. All we have to do is wash the tub and press a button. Set it and then forget it.
We took Obachan out to dinner to night, just as a very small thanks for all the help she will be providing. I’ve been to restaurants before, so I was very used to the environment. I was very chill.
I didn’t eat any of the food at the restaurant because I had food brought from home. But I was very interested in the wait staff who brought plate after plate of food. People just bring you food until you are full. This is the dream and the wait staff are the dream makers. You can see how focused I am on them in the videos.
But I wasn’t only interested in the food and the wait staff. I was also interested in the golden drink that Daddy had. He seemed to be really happy to have it. How come I don’t get any. I can’t wait until the day I get a taste!
Once I finished eating I got bored just sitting around, so I explored a bit. I started to watch the cars through the window. Then I noticed sounds coming from the room next door. I wanted to say hi but Daddy stopped me. So all I could do was tap on the sliding doors that separated us to let them know I wanted to say hi.
We had a great dinner. I was very well behaved and can’t wait until I am old enough to enjoy in the all-you-can-eat experience. I’m sure I will love it!
Obachan (Aunty) came over today to play with me. Actually, not only to play with me but also to get used to watching me. Mommy is going to start work again in April and I’m going to start going to nursery school. But the school eases the students into school life so for the first week or so I’m only going to go there for a few hours a day. Then as I get used to it, the hours are extended until I’m there the whole day. Since Mommy and Daddy will be working, I’ll need someone to watch over me during this gradual entry into school. Obachan generously volunteered to help us out. It is great because we get along really well and have fun playing!
We really appreciate all the help that she will be providing!
I have so much hair, that not only can it be tied up into a topknot, but I can also get two sideknots as well. I’m just testing out this hairstyle for today. I don’t think I’ll be keeping it, because I think I’ll be mistaken for a girl even more than I am now.
I don’t like to let obstacles keep me from doing what I want. So when an obstacle is placed in my way, my natural instinct is to try and get over it. Sure I might take a spill, but I’ll get up and try again. Well, today I got over the obstacle, took a spill, did not cry, and am ready for the next obstacle. I am a very determined baby!
I don’t need the swings or slide at the park when I have my own thrilling ride at home. Daddy: The Ride.
I found a baton! Well, not really a baton, just the cardboard tube from a plastic wrap roll. But it is still fun!
I love reading books! I’m fascinated by them! The problem is that I like all books so much that I have a hard time sticking to one book long enough to finish it. I want to read all the books at once!
One year ago, I was still in Mommy’s tummy. I was growing really big and moving a lot, and preparing for my arrival. Mommy and Daddy couldn’t wait to meet me. Everything they did was in anticipation of my arrival. Even when they went to the park for hanami and waw the sakura (cherry blossoms), they were thinking about how they could show them to me one year later.
Well, I’m here! Unfortunately, the sakura were not. They seem to be blooming late this year in our area. Oh well, we still had fun looking at the early bloomers and taking pictures.
Okay, I posted earlier that the day is not off to a great start. Well, I had my breakfast now, and I think the day is looking a lot better. It is important to start your day off with a good breakfast!
And a morning show on TV.
Some mornings I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and am not happy. Today is not off to a great start.
I love books! I like being read to and I like reading on my own as well. But sometimes reading is not as stimulating as my kids’ shows. There are cute characters, vibrant colors, fun songs, and a lot of good lessons to be learned. I can be torn between books and TV sometimes.
