Lunch with Aunties and tooth show off

Few days ago together with mom we went for lunch with my aunt Angela, Caroline and Mafe. Unfortunately i don’t have any pictures with them as the main attraction was my first tooth. Aunt Caroline was working on her homework for portrait photography class and as you can see i had to pose a lot. Anyhow enjoy the pictures taken by my Aunt, and yes, I finally have a tooth.

My friends

As you may know babies can communicate earlier with animals than with other humans. Here are my friends who used to visit me everyday for a late lunch at 4pm in my previous home. Apparently my Dad says that there are pigeons visiting our new home but so far I wasn’t lucky enough to introduce myself. Enjoy.

Mexico

Together with my mom and my grandparents we took off to Mexico for an adventure. I have to admit I loved everything about that country, loved the weather, turquoise warm water, powdery white sand beaches, happy welcoming people, iguanas (which btw my mom took more pictures of them than me). We spent long days on wild beaches, playing in the ocean, pools and discovering Mexico on daily trips. I got to know what snorkeling was about, saw my mom wearing crazy outfit while scuba diving, saw a cat for the first time and of course iguanas which weren’t interested in me. In terms of my new skills I practiced waving to people and smiling to everybody to get their attention. In the plane I got kidnapped by a Japanese couple and played with them for a good while. Enjoy the pictures, more pictures to come on my mom’s facebook.

bye bye to my first apartment

As you probably know my parents were very busy looking for a new place and packing all that we have. It turned out that I do have the most amount of stuff, not to mention that I have more clothing than my mom and dad combined . Any how I would like to give you a tour around all my favorite spots in our place. First of May we are moving to a new place. On the pictures below you can see where I spent my mornings brushing my gums (I think my parents didn’t pay enough when they got me as I still don’t have any teeth), where I have my naps, where I play at the window and watch seagulls, play piano, take a bath and my room. Enjoy.

My sis Amber

Amber is staying with us for the Easter break. We saw each other on the webcam few times but this is our first time we can play for real. From the first moment at the airport we fell in love with each other. We have magical times together, we play a lot and have so much to tell each other. She is very patient with my amount of vocabulary. I can say dada, blabla and dede and she is happy just to use those letter combination for our conversations. Amber is very pretty and smart, I am so proud and happy to have her as my older sister. She is very caring, I feel very safe and loved around her. We enjoyed our Vegas trip together and we are planning to do more road trips in the summer. I will be very sad once she goes back to the UK. :(

Viva Las Vegas

Vegas it is. Together with my sister Amber (more about Amber in next post) I went to Nevada. I wasn’t allowed to gamble but I was allowed in the casino. I loved all the constant loud noises, tons of blinking lights and happy people, some of them were so happy that they couldn’t walk straight. We stayed in Luxor, where I did few hours of peeing Oops! playing in the pool. The main attractions however were parks. We hiked in Red Rocks Canyon, my stroller finally got some off road and dirt on it. I managed to get some bouldering and rock climbing there. We played on rocky surface in Zion National Park and admired the new bridge above Hover Dam. We also found a new friend called Shield Bug, he’s funny as when you role him onto his back his legs wriggle just like mine. Must remember to be “gentle” with bugs! In terms of new skills, hmmmm well I can sit nicely in the high chair, drink water from the straw and smile even more.

My very first backpack

Few days ago I got gorgeous back pack from aunty Tomoko, complete with a heart shaped button. Her Mother Mrs Noriko made one for me and one for my cousin Kyouka. We are only one month apart. Kyouka lives in Tokyo. Today I decided to go for a trip, by myself as I am 6 month old and not a baby anymore. I packed all my essentials, studied where to travel and off for an adventure. I am around 12″ further North than at the start of my journey as I am only able to push myself along on my back for now. So far I am managing to stand and hold onto my couch soon I will be more mobile so I will take you to places with my posts.

CUBA

..so I finally got my passport after being rejected a few times due to my photographs not being correct, kind of ironic each time somebody is taking a picture of me they try to make me smile whereas once I smiled the passport office didn’t like it. Anyhow we went for my first adventure trip, well kind of second considering that I was in my moms belly while she was traveling to Mexico last year. I fell in love in our destination, Cuba. The warm weather, ocean’s sounds, wind’s whispers, palm trees lullabies and the friendless people sold me the place right away. I loved the plane ride, snoozing on the beach, playing all day outside, crazy 1957 taxi ride to Havana without seat belts, and I had my very first chocolate. My parents fell in love in Cuba especially with Havana and its lovey people, there will be more pictures on my parents blog from the trip. For now you can see how I spent my days there.

Ginger’s bread

Today my dad baked for me small loaf of bread. I am not eating real food yet but that was my very first bread made just for me to try :) I loved playing with it and get some taste of it but I am sure I will take better advantage of my dads cooking in 2 months. My mom of course took the opportunity to take more pictures of my toes.
