Swingin' and Sleepin'

Let me just thank you guys again for getting Rin his swing; he adores it! Here he is fast asleep with his buddies the tiger and the frog.

Out and About

Here's Rin ready to go out for our daily stroll, protected from the sun in his dashing new hat.

Shake, Rattle and Roll

Rin loves his little rattle.

Yes...?

Another twofer today! Enjoy!

Smile!

Kinda blurry, but I finally caught a nice big smile on camera.

Hmmm... Very Interesting

I tried in vain this morning to catch one of Rin's devilish little smiles on camera, but I did get this rather contemplative face.

Lady Killer

We went to the hospital today for Rin's weekly weigh-in and he's doing great: 4432g! He was the pet of all the nurses and midwives; they kept saying how cute he was and how advanced. Here he is with one nurse doing the patented Rin-2-finger-suck.

Cutie Boys

This weekend Rin and I (and Tutu and Dulie) went to Sanda's baby play-center with Akane and Rui. (Mom you may remember that Rui was born a few hours before Rin.) He was a teeny-tiny little thing, but he's gotten quite huge!

Ojii-chan

Here's Rin with his other grampa, Sho's dad, Ichiro.

Hai guyz!

Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?

Banzai!

Rin's finally beginning to chub up a little bit.

Rin-rin Loves Tutu

Here is Rin with his grampy, Tutu.

Say cheese!

We took Rin to the photo-studio yesterday to get his picture taken after his first temple visit, and he was a real trooper. He started to get a little fussy right at the end, but other than that he was an angel the whole time. Here he is with one of the ladies from the studio.

Tutu and Dulie are here!

Yeah, and here is yet another napping pic!

Best Buddies 2

Here's Daddy and Rin napping on the sofa

2 For 1

Two pictures today, yeah! This one is Rin in a little monogrammed outfit made for him by my friend Toshiko. She made him 3 adorable little suits,each with his name and a little symbol embroidered on it. Thank you, Toshiko!

Best Buddies

Daddy and Rin are best buddies. Here they are napping together.

No Skeeters

Time for our daily walk and Rin is protected from those nasty skeeters with a nice big mosquito net on his stroller. Rin says "Hi!".

In the Navy

Here's Rin in another onesie from the ladies back home. I think navy really is his color. And I finally caught a smile on camera.
