Doesn’t it look like I should be toppling forward in the photo? Look at how big my head looks compared to my body. It is hard to believe that I can even hold it up at all. No wonder I’m having trouble crawling on my hands and feet. The balance is all off. I’m not sure this is the best design for crawling.
Getting some contact with Daddy as he speedily eats breakfast so that he can play with me.
I was sitting in my chair after a great dinner and I was in a great mood. Mommy came by clean the floor under my chair. When she popped back up I started laughing because I though that she was playing peekaboo with me. After that reaction, she stopped what she was doing and actually started to play peekaboo with me. And I started laughing like crazy! We’ve played peekaboo before and I have always enjoyed it, but I never laughed like this before. I think I was in such a terrific mood that I was almost tipsy. It is amazing what a good day and a good meal can do.
I had just finished my dinner and was sitting in my chair, brushing my teeth, and I was in a great mood. I just started talking to myself.
The weather today was surprisingly warm for December, so we decided to go for a picnic. I was too young to enjoy a picnic when I was younger, but now that I can sit up on my own, we figured it was a good time to go.
We found a nice spot in the park and laid out a blanket and had lunch. Actually, I already ate, so I had a snack while Mommy and Daddy ate lunch. And of course they took a lot of pictures.
I was doing very well sitting up on my own, until I fell over.
I had my first experience with grass. I was quite curious. It was very different than any other floor that I’ve been on. I tried to taste some of it, but was stopped promptly.
I rolled over on my tummy and Mommy and Daddy thought that I was just relaxing and enjoying nature. Then the saw the expression on my face and caught a whiff downwind of me and found out I was being called by nature.
Just to be clear, I pooped during our picnic. Ah, the great outdoors!’
If you’re interested, here are a couple of long-ish videos of our picnic, just so you can see what a good boy I was.
I tried salmon today. It was a bit fishy, but pretty good. It tastes good with rice. It is like a watery version of the salmon rice balls that Mommy and Daddy sometimes eat from the Japanese convenience stores.
Daddy was playing with me this morning and followed me around everywhere I went and copied everything I did. It was fun to play follow the leader. But we found out that just because something is cute when I do it, it doesn’t mean it will be cute when Daddy does it.
When I sneak up on Mommy from under the table it is cute. When Daddy does the same thing it is creepy.
While doing my usual exploring, I came across Daddy’s foot. It has always been around, but I never took the time to really examine it. So that’s exactly what I did. It was hard to examine it because Daddy kept squirming. Something about my examination being ticklish. So the result of my examination is that Daddy’s foot is ticklish. Good to know. Moving on.
Doesn’t this look like I’m crossing the finish line first in some kind of race? I win!
It has been a long time since I fell asleep in my stroller. Recently I am so curious about my surroundings that I am too stimulated to fall asleep. But today was sunny so Mommy pulled the shade down and then I drifted off to sleep.
When I sense food nearby, I just show up. I don’t get to have any, but I can still dream.
So many toys to choose from. Which should I play with?
All of them!
My half birthday photos are in! Even though I’m not smiling in them, I quite like them. Check out my hair! That was not styled! That’s just how my hair naturally ends up in the morning.
I love eating! I’m not so fond of finishing eating.
And trust me, I’m being fed quite well. It’s not that I didn’t have enough to fill my stomach. I just don’t ever want to stop eating.
