What I do in August

Hello..been a while since I last put on new pictures. Here are what I do in August.

I can hold my bottle more steadily now.

I am more creative searching for new toys! amongst them are:

Daddy's bag

My changing basket

Daddy's room slipper

I also started eating more solid stuff...like....errrr...

Jiji's finger

Mommy's handphone

We Love Marines!

On August 2, we went to the Marines Stadium with Jiji to watch the game between Chiba Lotte Marines and Rakuten Eagles. Marines won 12 - 1.

Here are some pictures we took at the Marines Museum before the game.

More Like Mommy!

As I grow, I look lesser like daddy.. (except for the hair!)

Me....

Daddy...

And look more like mommy....I think...

Me....

Mommy...

Daddy's Girl...

When I was born, most people commented that I look like mommy. Many even said I didnt have any of daddy's features at all. Well, check out these pictures and see if you'd change your mind!

Here is my daddy with his grandma, just days after he was born in Nov 1973.

And here's me with my grandma just days after I was born in Jan 2007.

Another picture of daddy's early days..

Me in my first month of birth.

And here is mommy in her early days in Feb 1978.

So, what do you think? Do I look like mommy or daddy????

Hanabi (Fireworks)

On August 1st, we went to watch Fireworks near Lalaport. Its an annual summer event.

Daddy and I in 'jinbei' ready to go!

With daddy, mommy and Jiji, waiting for the firework to start.

Tomoyo-san went to the Firework spot at 8 am to book the place. She didnt stay there til evening of course!

Enjoying the fireworks.

Still enjoying the fireworks, after about 30 minutes.

Too long to look up! I fell asleep after about 45 minutes!

Finally, the fireworks finally ends after one full hour.

Look, some people had picnic in the mioddle of the road! It was a fun night!

My Jiji!

Jiji came to my house on Jul 31st. I had a marvelous time playing with Jiji.
Jiji is feeding me dinner.

Here I am watching TV with Jiji.

Not for long...I was aiming for the paper actually.
