Sunny Day in the Park


Today was a beautiful day so we went to the park and basked in the sun!

For Emily


Emily requested a horizontal pic of Rin, so here it is!

Waffle Face


Rin took a nap on the mat today and ended up with a waffle face

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz


Here is Rin snoozing in the car on the way to Ojii-chan's house.

Strawberries!!!


Rin's favorite food outside of yogurt is strawberries. Here he is getting one from Dad.

Crocodile Rindee


Here's another keeper pic of Rin in his Australian hat!

Yogurt + Anything= Delicious

Here is Rin eating some yummy, yummy yogurt.

The Sleepiest, Littlest Yankee Fan

Here we are at AEON again after shopping for Obaachan's birthday present. Rin was awfully tuckered out. This is Rin one minute before falling asleep...

...and one minute after. He slept in the cart for a good two hours after this, allowing mommy to have a leisurely time drinking chai and reading a trashy suspense novel at the mall cafe. Thanks little guy!

Would You Like a D?


Here's Rin engaged in one of his favorite pastimes: pulling up and chewing on the foam alphabet mat from the living room floor. His favorite letter is "D" for Delicious!

Carrier Time


Here is Rin in his baby carrier again. The carrier is great for getting super close-up shots like this one. Please note how stylin' he is with his smily-face cap and cow jacket. (He's also wearing blue camoflauge pants; what a fashion icon!)

Now, THAT is a Smile!


Rin at the Supermarket. The title says it all.

An Apple a Day...


Here's Rin with the apple toy he got back in the States. He loves to chew on the leaves recently.

Dude, what?


I love the look on his face in this one.

Poopin'


Sorry to be vulgar, but I just had to post this pic of Rin's poopin' face.

Sand Box


Here's Rin playing in the sand for the first time. He looks less than thrilled in this pic, but he seemed to enjoy it alright.

Best Pals


Here's Rin sharing a laugh with Mr. Nishida.

Sleeping Kiwi


Here's the little guy, fast asleep on the mat in his kiwi suit.

P.S. New post up on Let's Signing too!

Cracker Time


Here's Rin crunching a cracker in his carrier. It was a very sunny day so he has on his bucket hat.

Anpan-mania

Here is Rin at Furatto waiting for the Anpan-man song to start.

And waiting...

And waiting...

And there it is!



Rin is a real Anpanmaniac; the second he hears the song he is deliriously happy.

Rin is 10 Months Old!

Here he is at the supermarket...

and at the park.

My Two Prince Charmings...


or is that Sleeping Beauties?

The Littlest Yankee Fan


Here's Rin wearing the new Yankees shirt we got him, along with a baseball cap from Mima.

Lean on Me


Here's Rin taking a little nap on my shoulder. he got all tired out fro shopping at Itami!

Umbrella Man

It was a little rainy on the day the day that we went to Itami, so of course we brought an umbrella. Well, Rin just LOVED it and wanted to play with it the whole time. What a cutie-pie! (These pictures are on the platform of Itami Station.)

Train Train

We went to Itami yesterday to renew Sho-chan's driver's license and Rin had fun playing on the train.

He crawled up and down the seats and looked at ll the other passengers.

He also LOVED the rings. Maybe he'll grow up to be an Oympic gymnast.

Rin Loves Mommy



Sho-chan took these pictures of me and Rin sleeping last night.

The Naughtiest of the Naughty

Lately Rin has been trying to get into the classroom. He's getting pretty good at opening the door.

And when he gets in, THIS is what he does...

With Kumiko Part 4


Here's another 2-shot of Rin and Kumiko

Out Like a Light

Rin conked out in his carrier on the way home from Furatto today. I guess the gentle swaying movement of walking with Mommy is a great sedative.


Cool Guy

Here's some pics of a cool little guy in a stocking-cap. He's wearing the hungry alligator sweat-shirt that I posted on Let's Signing too!

Sleeping Biker Baby


Rin fell asleep at the wheel on the way home yesterday. I picked him up and carried him the rest of the way home, but I had to snap a picture first.

Momoko-chan


Here's Rin with our neighbor's little girl Momoko. She has a little brother just two months older than Rin (Souichirou, who will be Rin's classmate when he goes to pre-school) so she is a great big sister and LOVES to hold babies.


And here they are together
