itchy itchy chompers...!



at our appointment last week, the pediatrician mentioned she could see new "buds" coming in the top!
new teeth already??! how exciting! 
and i HAVE noticed he's teething a lot again.
上からも歯が生えてきてるみたい!
お医者さんも言ってました。
道理で「また噛むようになったな~」と思ってたとこ。

nom nom..!


apple sauce mixed with some rice cereal was a HIT!
went to hang out with grandma today♥
ママとおばあちゃん、3人でランチタイム!
この日はりんごとご飯を混ぜて食べさせました。
まあ美味しそうに食べてる~

officially starting solids...!


while it was fun bottle feeding him...we are now officially introducing solids..!
1~2 solid feedings a day on top of regular bottle feeding.


today i mixed carrot puree with mushed up tofu♥
今日はさっそくにんじんと豆腐を混ぜてみました。


sounds odd and maybe a little gross...but he was loving it!
he really loved the apple sauced mixed with rice cereal yesterday too...
learning so much about him!
海ちゃんかなり気に入っていたようです!
昨日のりんごとご飯の混ぜ合わせもかなり好きだったみたい。
これからいろいろ作るのが楽しみ!

cute things for Kai...!


so i went on a sister date with erika this past weekend.
we went to the U Village (and it was such a beautiful day, we kinda hung out there all afternoon)
i came upon a baby store that had the CUTEST decor/toys/etc.



we like the Dino theme but i'm also loving the Robot theme...
it's so retro and AWESOME♥
anyway, they had a great selection of wooden toys--i'm definitely coming back with Jamus next time
週末にエリカと二人で買い物デートに行ってきたの♥
海ちゃんはパパが面倒を看てくれて、久しぶりにゆっくりとした買い物ができた。
そしたらものすごく可愛らしいベビーショップを発見!
どれもこれも買いたくて・・・でも高いし・・・
今の海ちゃんの部屋のテーマは恐竜なんだけど、最近このレトロ・ロボットのテーマが気に入ってる。今度はジェームスと来よう!

carrots are...weird mommy...!


so this was the first time Kai had some solids...i started with mushed up organic carrots!
as you can see...he seems to feel really weird about it.
his facial expressions are priceless!
初めてにんじんを食べた時の海ちゃんです。
まずそうな顔をしてるけど、なんとな~く食べてくれました。
「ママ、なんじゃ~これは?」

the kai-stache...!


woa!! he's growing up so fast! he's sporting a mustache already EEK!

lonely dino...


mr. dino was feeling lonely last night...
「海ちゃん寝ちゃったのか・・・一緒に遊びたかったな~」

starting solids...perhaps?


"hey mommy! i was checking out this 'baby purees' book and now i'm interested...
can we start solids today?"
「ねぇママ、この本見つけちゃった。赤ちゃんフード食べたくなった!」


so i decided to test out some solids today...
i read that carrots are a good solids-starter, so i got some organic carrots and started mashing away.
という事で、今日はにんじんに初挑戦です。
この頃、私が何かを食べると ジーっと見てるので、そろそろ食べたいのかなと思いました。



ta-da! i got it mashed really well. made a few spoonfuls...
BUT, i think the timing was off :( by the time i had this ready, he seemed uninterested...
i gave him a couple small spoonfuls and he licked and licked but i'm not sure he swallowed...or enjoyed it...
hmmm... i'll try again tomorrow!
やっと出来た!
でも出来上がった頃にはもう興味がなかったみたい・・・
舌を出してなめてたりしたけど、ちゃんと食べたのかな?
タイミングがよくなかったと思う・・また明日挑戦します!

笑いすぎて・・・


笑いすぎてミルクが上がってきちゃったよ~
uh oh! he laughed too much that his milk came back up...!!

高い高い~!




笑ってくれてる~!
ほんの一ヶ月前までは高い高いで泣いてたけど、今は笑うようになったの♥
yay! baby Kai is finally enjoying this!
up until a month ago, he would get scared and look teary eyed when i did this...
but now he's fully enjoying it!
