Shopping in Sannomiya

Lately Rin loves baskets and bags of all kinds and likes to drag them around. Here he is with his shopping bag in Sannomiya.

Hey! How's It Goin'?

...says this stylish little guy.

Ball Boy

As you know, Rin loves balls. Here he is with his latest ball. Let's see how long it takes for this one to get deflated by Rosie.

Ups and Downs

Rin loves to ride the elevator and push the buttons. Here he is in front of the elevator at AEON.

And walking across the footbridge by himself!

Nice to Meet You 2

Mommy, I Want That One

Here's Rin at the toystore. Oh no! He's found the Anpanman section!

Park Life

Here's a series of shots of Rin having fun at Sanda-dani Park.

Welcome to Mah Crib

Here's Rin after having climbed up into the crib at Furatto.

The Caterpillar Kid

Here's Rin dragging around a wooden toy caterpillar at Furatto.

Haa Haa!

Just try to tell me that isn't the cutest laugh you've ever seen!

To Bee or Not to Bee

Here is a happy little bee.

And a grumpy bee

Fukada Park Again

This past Monday my friend Yukari and I went to Fukada Park again. I made Rin wear a hat and slathered on the sunscreen, but he still got a little tan. I guess I need to use a higher SPF. The inside of his little fat rolls is noticeably lighter than the outside.

Rin is 10 Months Old!

Here he is at the supermarket...

and at the park.

Standin' Tall

Rin stood on his own two feet for a really long time today; long enough in fact for me to snap a picture. This is actually the second time he's done it, but the first time he fell over before I could get out the camera.

A Little Crabby?

Here he is leaning on the edge of the crab pool at Furatto

Stand by Me

As some of you may have noticed Rin has learned how to stand! He's figured out how to lower himself back to a sitting position as well, so he hardly ever falls over anymore! BTW the shirt he has on was a Christmas present from Tutu and Dulie and the undershirt was a gift from Gigi.
