April/May news
Well, May is almost over and it's been awhile since we've posted anything. Megumi turns 2 1/2 tomorrow, and Reyden is 7 1/2 weeks already! We are busy and enjoying life with our two wonderful kids. Megumi is a great big sister and still loves holding, talking to, tickling, etc. her baby brother. Reyden doesn't seem to mind so far! He weighs about 13 lbs already, and has started smiling at us. He has a very sweet disposition and only cries when he's hungry or tired. We're still not sleeping great stretches at night, but hopefully that will come soon! My friend Casie came to visit from Washington, which was a huge help. We also have amazing friends who signed up to bring us meals for 6 weeks! We are so blessed by all of you. Now we're on our own and I'm trying to get back to our regular routines without overdoing it. Kenji loves his new job at Cartoon Network, too. Life is good... just exhausting :). Please check out our April/May pictures.
On April 2nd, Reyden was born.
Sorry it's been 2 months since the last update. There are so many classic Megumi pictures as well as Reyden pictures in this album. Please proceed to 2 Years + 4 months to see the pictures.
The life of a 2 year old...
Hi Everyone! Megumi was 2 years and 2 months last week. Our baby is quickly becoming independent, wanting to go potty all by herself ("Mommy, you wait in Mimi's room"), putting her shoes on, unzipping her pajamas, etc. She's singing the ABC song all the way through now, and recognizing a few more letters. We're amazed at the sentences and questions she puts together and that she's picking up more and more Japanese as well. Her favorite thing to do each week is go to Mommy and Me (in Japanese). I can tell she's understanding the teacher more, even though Mommy's falling more and more behind! Kenji and Megumi love their time with just the two of them and I never know what I'll find them doing when I get home! Megumi seems to be excited about the arrival of her baby brother in April, devouring books about being a big sister and "practicing" with some of the newborns in our lives. The pregnancy is going well--29 weeks now. The doctor is estimating this little boy being around 9 lbs! I'm tired but trying to enjoy every minute of both of them. We hope you enjoy the pictures!
23 Months!!
It's hard to believe Megumi's turning 2 in just a few weeks. These months have flown by with all the milestones coming so fast. October was a busy month for us. We went up to Oak Glen with our old small group from Christ First for some fun with pumpkins and apples. We visited my sister in Carlsbad and Megumi didn't mind walking on the sand this time! The weather was beautiful. We visited another pumpkin patch with Dean, Andrea and Olivia. We went to Kid Space museum (in Pasadena) for their free night. Megumi rode a tricycle and loved it. We had fun with Megumi dressed as a beautiful ladybug for Halloween (compliments of Nick and Sandy). She still didn't get any candy, but had fun carrying around her pumpkin anyway. And, of course, at the end of the month she fell and fractured a small bone in her foot. We're surviving the cast with lots of help from family and friends. She's actually started walking on it now, with some help. One week to go! Kenji's work is finally slowing down giving him some time to work on outside projects and spend more with us. The pregnancy is going pretty well for me. I'm 17 weeks now, and surprisingly, my nausea/vomitting seems to be subsiding! The baby's been moving and it's amazing to feel that again. Hopefully we'll find out in the next few weeks what we're having. Enjoy the pictures!
Sept.14.2008
Megumi's vocabulary is rapidly growing. She surprises us every day by saying "Oh, well" or "so umm...", imitating Mommy. She still has a hard time saying her "G"s and "K"s. Gorilla is somehow Da Da and Julie's friend Kendra is Nandra. Orange is Onojin and alligator is Atatatar. She eats well and sleeps almost 12 hours a night. Her latest milestone is jumping and she's very proud of it. We apologize for all the naked pictures in advance. Megumi is very comfortable in her birthday suit.
