Long Time No Post

Here is our first post in a long time, rainy day RIntarou! He loves umbrellas and always wants to carry one, even though he can't quite hold it up over his head yet!

I Love You Auntie Kate

Here is Rin talking on the phone to his Auntie Kate.

Chubby Cheeks

Just look at those chubby cheeks, don't you want to pinch them?

Big Guy

This is my current favorite pic. I made some copies and I'm sending them out with the next letters!

Mommy, I'm Scared!

Maybe I'm a bad mom, but he looked so cute I had to snap a picture before I helped him down.

Brrrrrrrr!

It has been REALLY cold the past few days, so here is Rin wrapped up nice and warm in his fuzzy blanket!

Snoozin'

Here's Rin takin a nap in his favorite spot on the couch again.

Ito Maki-maki

Here is Rin doing the motions to the Ito maki-maki (thread-winding) song. It's his current favorite.

Best Buds

Here are Rin and Rosie, hanging out in the hall. Recently Rin likes to back himself up to Rosie and lay back on her like a chair. It's awfully cute, but I haven't been able to catch it on the camera yet. I'll keep trying!

Rin and Ai-chan

This is Rin with Ai-chan at Furatto. Something about her must have caught Rin's fancy, because he went over to her slowly, sat down, took her hand and gave her the toy he was playing with. I almost melted it was so charming. He stayed and sat with her for quite a while before being overwhelmed by the lure of the ball-pool.

You Look Familiar

Rin loves statues and mascots of all kinds and here he is giving a hug to the Familiar bear.

Rin Loves Rosie

I Wanna Try That!

Here is a picture of Rin yesterday evening, peeking around the post at the park to watch Kou-chan and Koumei-kun slide down the fireman's pole. The evenings have finally begun to get a bit cooler and we are running into Kou-chan in the park almost every day now. We met Sou-chan and Momo-chan today too!

Bananaman 2: Second Banana

Here is Rin chowing down on a delicious banana.

GAAAAaaahhh!

Rin amused himself to no end thew other night by playing peek-a-boo with the lid to one of our tupperware boxes. He squished it up against his face, then removed it to see my expression, laughing hysterically. It was the cutest thing EVAR!

Orange you glad...

...you saw such a cute picture? Here is Rin in his brand spankin' new orange overalls, chilling out on out front walk.
