Kenji and I set a world speed record in present-opening after we finished what felt like the world’s slowest breakfast. Must grown-ups really eat breakfast on Christmas morning???
After we were done, Kenji and I decided to stand up on our boxes and scream.
Kenji liked all of his gifts, but I think the packing material was his favorite.
While Kenji napped, I opened up my new Playmobile airplane and got to some serious playing.
Also, we had snow! So I made the world’s tiniest snowman.
We headed up to Kenji’s house on Christmas Eve. The first order of business was to check out the presents.
Then I joined the boys in watching something riveting on TV. (I think it was either “The Polar Express” or “The Smurfs,” and in both cases, I had no idea what was going on.)
Chubs liked watching us eat dinner.
After Uncle Ryan’s delicious dinner (the soba was my favorite!), I did some drawing.
Meanwhile, Kenji wondered if his Uncle Eric actually tied poop bags around his arms.
Later, while the grown-ups were busy, I did a little babysitting until it was time to go to bed before Christmas.
Today we left Seattle to come back home, but enjoyed a little morning time with Kenji.
Kenji is my favorite cousin, so I gave him a little kiss.
Kenji really liked his birthday balloons!
Bye, Kenji. See you again soon!
Tuesday was Kenji’s first birthday, but we celebrated at his house today.
I taught him how to draw airplanes.
He really wanted to get into those cabinets!
I think he liked his cake! Happy 1st birthday, Kenji!
When I visited Kenji in Seattle last month, Mommy took lots of pictures of us together, but didn’t post them all. So here they are!
Kenji loves to pull blankets over his face. And mine, too.
I was pretty fascinated with Kenji’s head.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Today is Kenji’s first Easter!
I got Kenji the same stacker toy that was my favorite when I was a baby. He likes it, too!
I also played with a new toy I got myself from the Museum of Flight.
Happy Easter, Kenji!
The Taylor gang visited yesterday! Cousin Kenji is four months old now and very different from the last time I saw him.
Thank you, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan, for making the long trek with a baby (Mommy and Daddy tell me it’s not easy!) and for the super cozy blanket.
And thank you, Nana and Papa, for coming and taking care of Chubs during my surgery and making lots and lots of food for all of us!
Yesterday, we headed back home. I had fun hanging out with my new cousin, Kenji, and of course…plane watching!
We spent Thanksgiving with my baby cousin, Kenji! Uncle Ryan made dinner and Aunt Lisa fed Kenji a lot. And I played with planes. So, all in all, a success!
