While we were in Seattle over the weekend, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan went out to dinner, so we took care of Kenji!
First, we had a big dance party.
Then Kenji took Mommy’s shoes and keys and tried to escape.
Eventually, Kenji wheeled in his Radio Flyer. I pulled him around for a little while…
…Then it was his turn to wheel me around. I think he had fun being my chauffeur!
Kenji is Seattle’s most infamous ice cream thief.
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!
Yesterday, Mommy and I went to the the Museum of Flight in Seattle. It was so awesome!
I’m a big fan of airliners, so one of my favorite things was hanging out in business class of an old US Airways 737.
I also played with the controls of a couple of hand-built airplanes. I could use the control yoke and rudder pedals to move the ailerons, elevators, and rudder.
I also got to see some really big airplanes, including a 787 Dreamliner.
Here I am in a 747.
This is Richard Nixon’s Air Force One plane.
And here is the inside of the Concorde.
I had such a fun time! Thanks to Aunt Lisa, Uncle Ryan, and Kenji for the museum gift card!
Yesterday, we headed back home. I had fun hanging out with my new cousin, Kenji, and of course…plane watching!
