わんちゃんのベスト

背中にわんちゃんのアップリケが付いたベストが完成しました。色がきれいでお気に入りです。これからの季節にいいかな。

ひとり遊び

両手で足をつかめるようになりました！足を上げて上手に遊びます。　自分の足だって分かってるかな？

Bear's ears

耳をつけて刺繍をして、テディベアの帽子が出来上がりました。今日は駅までお散歩。Hiroはとってもご機嫌でした。たくさんの人に”かわいい～”って言ってもらって、MumもDadもHappyでした。

Mom's hand knitted clothes for Hiro

Hiro のテディベア・ニットが出来上がりました！１週間くらいで完成。もうすぐ暖かくなってくるので、来年着られるように大きめに編みました。Hiroは頭が大 きいから、、、と目を増やして帽子を編んだら、でっかすぎてAlexサイズになってしまいました。今日のお出かけに帽子の耳が間に合わなかったので、 Hiroがお昼寝をしている今のうちに作っちゃおう！

Hiro's Teddy Bear Knit Outfit was made by Chiyo in a week and he made his debut today in it in Kashiwa. The hat is not finished - just needs a couple of ears sewing onto it but Hiroki's public couldn't wait.
The first attempt at the hat was too big so that's why we both have matching hats in the first picture. Not sure if I am going to have ears on mine though......
　

Flipper

Hiroはうつぶせが大好き。胸まで上手に上げられます。足をバタバタしたりもするよ。うつぶせからの寝返りは自分で何回かしてます。仰向けからはもうちょっとかかりそうかな。今日はずりばいで向きを変えながら結構進みました。

Hiro is getting stronger by the day and much more adept at using arms, legs and tummy to shift himself around the carpet. He has managed to flip himself over from his tummy over onto his back without any prompting from pushy parents. Not long before he will be mobile and we will have to batten down all the hatches.

離乳食スタート☆

５ヶ 月を過ぎたし身体も大きいので、離乳食をスタートしました。最初の２週間は１０倍がゆを徐々に量を増やしてゆっくりと、その後野菜などを加えます。今日の おかゆはもっと粒をなくしたほうがよかったかも。。。つぶしがたりなかったかな。ためしにちょっとあげていた果汁や麦茶から、Hiroはスプーンもどんな 味でも大丈夫だとわかっていたので、気楽に構えてました。ちょこっと作るのって大変かなとも思うけど、楽しみながら頑張ろう！

Hiroki had his first taste of rice today. Mixed with alot of water and squashed up into a kind of paste, Mum fed it to him with a Disney spoon - Star Treatment.
As you can see, Hiro managed to get most but not all of it into his mouth. Curious because he has no problems whatsoever posting anything and everything he can find into his mouth if he thinks we are not looking.

Mom's hand made baby clothes

Hiroが生まれる前、時間があったのでたくさん編み物をしました。手袋は顔をひっかいちゃうので、とっても役に立ってます。最近また編み物を始めました。出来上がったら紹介しますね！

Chiyo has been busy knitting clothes for Hiroki. In fact, she started while she was pregnant. Here are just a few of the things she made. The gloves have been especially useful to protect Hiro when scratching his head - he is a great thinker...

Hiro is 5 Months Old Today

Wow! Tempus Fugit, eh? Hiro seems to surprise us now on a daily basis. We took him to Starbucks today and he must have flirted with EVERY girl in there! His teeth are almost coming through. Until they do he is practicing gumming our fingers. Very Hard. Itaii!!

Big News for Hiro

Hiroki was excited to hear that Granny will be coming to stay with us at the end of March





We made Hiro laugh for the first time. I am a funny Daddy!!!

寝返り ..and the little one said "Roll Over! Roll Over!"

今日初めて、うつぶせの状態から一人でころんと転がりました!左腕が、うまく身体の下に入っていたからなんですが、、、
結構足を上げて横を向くようにはなってきたけど、やはり太めなのでお腹がつっかえちゃいます。いつ寝返りしてくれるか楽しみです。

Today for the first time, Hiro rolled over from his tummy onto his back. He can almost do it the other way but his giant tum tends to get in the way. He can lie on his back, stick his feet in the air and roll onto his side but there is where he stops for a think or to give one of his gorilla whoops. He likes to do that while beating his belly. I wonder how long it will be before the urge to scale tall buildings and swat at bi-planes will kick in.
