四ヶ月検診

今日は４ヶ月検診でした。どれだけ成長したかとこの日を楽しみにしていたのですが、当の大輝は眠たいのと人見知りで大泣き。たくさんの赤ちゃんの中、ひとりで泣いてました。(T.T)
身体はしっかり大きくなっていました。身長６８cm、体重８５１０g。平均より大きい赤ちゃんです。

Hiro went to the hospital today for a routine check up. He was suave and elegant in his hat. He met a cute baby girl while lieing on the mat and they smiled alot at each other. She starting making cooing noises and he felt out of his depth and let out a continuing barrage of screams which shook buildings and wilted trees from here to Yokohama.
That's my Boy!!

お出かけ-shopping

今日は柏にお買い物に行きました。チャイルドシートにもなれてご機嫌です。
バーゲンで子供服が安くなってたけど、Hiroはすぐ大きくなっちゃうし何も買いませんでした。
最近人見知りをするようになって、「可愛いね～」って覗き込まれると大泣き。
We went shopping to Kashiwa today. Hiro is getting used to the car seat. He was quite happy.
He cries at the sight of strangers, even if they say things like 'Oh, you are a very cute baby!'.






寒いから普段は家にこもっているので、ちょっと外の空気にふれるとこんなふうに真っ赤なほっぺになっちゃうのです。今日買ったロキシタンのベビークリームを早速使いました。
Hiro usually stays at home, because it is very cold outside. So he gets these pink cheeks once he is in the cold air. I used new L'OCCITANE baby balm right away.

予防接種 ー a vaccination

今 日は三種混合の予防接種に行ってきました。BCGのときはけろっとしていたのですが、今日は大泣きでした。結構待たされて疲れていたのもあると思うけど、 やっぱり痛かったのかな。待合室の他の赤ちゃんも、Hiroが泣いているのを見てつられて泣いちゃいました。残り2回、次は3週間後です！がんばれ Hiro!
Alexが気に入った帽子がバーゲンで半額になっていたので購入。今日はじめてかぶりました。今ぴったりなので、来年は小さくなっちゃうかな。
Hiro was vaccinated DPT today. He was fine last time when he had BCG. But Hiro cried a lot this time!!! He even made other babies cry! He has to have 2 more injections, I hope he will be ok.

Hiro is 4 Months Old Today!!

It snowed today for Hiro's Four Month anniversary!! He now weighs 8kg!! What a Whopper!!





He has started drinking orange juice and he tried a
strawberry for the first time this morning.




He loved it but he did smell like fruit all day (it is
hard to get it all in your mouth in one go, he
informed me)

お食い初めー 100 Day Celebration

Today we (belatedly) celebrated Hiroki's 100th day in the world. On this day, we set out a special meal for a baby of this age to mark the beginning of starting on solid food. Each of the dishes is meant to set him up for a healthy life in which he will always have good food to eat. The blue bowl next to the Mickey Mouse plate contains stones - these are to show that we hope Hiro will grow strong teeth.Each type food is ceremoniously offered to the baby who pretends to eat (although Hiro did manage some soup - he is a growing boy, you know)

Mexican Night

We invited Grandpa and Grandma to dinner and Alex made Mexican food. He was nervous that his parents in law would enjoy it but they both gave their seal of approval with "Oishi!!" and second helpings. Yokatta!! Muchas Gracias!
