Goofing off in front of Meiji Shrine.

Adam & Jenna's First Ride

We took Andy, Heather, and Jenna to DisneySea (next to Tokyo Disneyland). Here are Adam and Jenna after riding their first ride. Adam thought it was great; Jenna freaked out when she got wet from a rainstorm during the ride. Oops. More pictures to come.

Cousins!

Lottie's First Shots

Lottie went for her two month appointment today. She weighed in at 12 pounds, 1 ounce, height was 23 1/4 inches. She's measuring at 90th plus percentile for both height and weight, and 50th percentile for head circumference. Exactly the same as Adam at her age.
She also got her first shots! They were not fun, but the crying stopped pretty quickly.


But there was more crying at home, and then lots of sleeping.

Later, she had fun with Daddy.

Father's Day

Hair!

Lottie's hair just gets crazier and crazier. You can't control it - no matter what you do, it just sticks straight up. We call it her Asian baby afro. (Guess that quarter Asian is just really strong!)

Morning

Fun with Lottie's headband.

Adam eating TWO chocolate croissants at once. Greedy boy.

Fun with Daddy

Tickle, tickle. Adam loves to tickle everyone under the chin.

Crazy Hair and Crazy Eyes

Adam's reviving the Flock of Seagulls look.

Crazy bug eyes.

Dancing at the Gap

Adam had a great time in the Gap at Ebina. While Mommy shopped, Adam danced.

Backyard

Here's our little patch of garden in our backyard. We are getting some tomatoes, green peppers, eggplant, and one cucumber. I also have some lettuce and cilantro in the planter. Hopefully all the rain lately will help our garden grow.

The new-to-us patio set we acquired from a neighbor moving to Korea. Thanks, Jenny! (This is the same neighbor who gave us a tummy time mat, a baby swing, and three sets of curtains. So generous!)

Lottie hung out in her Bjorn while Mommy and Adam ran around the backyard.

Adam riding his bike.

Only in Japan

Specially sized tables and chairs (for kids, definitely not for Chris) at the food court.

Crazy (but beautiful) orange flowers.

Cute $4 rainboots. I love the 100 yen (about a dollar) store!

Tickling

Lottie likes to be tickled - check out her smile!

Boppy

Lottie can sometimes hold herself up pretty well.

Lottie and Nani stick out their tongues at each other. Nani is much more fond of Lottie than Adam right now. He torments her, and Lottie, right now anyway, just sits there.

Fun at the Playground

Lottie hung out in her chair.

We hung out at a playground near our house. We've nicknamed it the "Bicycle Park" due to the two abandoned tricycles that reside there. Adam just loves riding them. The toddler translation of the video, "Crash! Crash! Fall down...yucky."

Ice Cream Flavors

Just like in the States...banana, peanut, sweet potato, pineapple, and cantaloupe. Yum.

New Lottie Pics

Strengthening my neck.

Posing with Adam.

Stealing Adam's monkey blanket.

Sometimes I just have to cry.

Brownie Spoon Stealer

Adam helped himself to the spoon from the brownie bowl. It was yummy, but confiscated quickly. Mommy is so mean.

Yard Work

After two days of rain, Sunday was beautiful! So everyone went outside to help with the yard work.

Adam was especially helpful with the broom.

Here he is sweeping the lawn. Yes, it looks so much better!
