Fun at a Park

We went to a park the other day, and had so much fun! EL went on to the slide for the first time. Papa almost got stuck in the slide!

More Mess

The other day, EL spilled his dinner. Mama almost got upset, but decided to take some photos instead. :)

Big Mess

EL is so good at making a mess. He is busy going around the house making a mess every day.

EL wants to eat by himself, but he can't quite control his hands well enough yet, so he make a big mess when he eats. Mama is trying to be patient with him, but it's so hard... He has food all over the floor and all over himself. It's hard to tell by this photo, but he does! Also, He has spilled Mama's dinner three times in the past year. The third time was today. :( Every time he does that, Mama learns not to put stuff there, but he can reach more and more places!

These days, EL loves to pull things out of a drawer or a shelf. He was busy pulling all the shoes out of the shoe case.

Flower Pot

EL likes flowers. He does not know to smell them, but he likes to play with them.

New Outfit

EL has been wearing new outfits lately since he got lots of cool outfits for his birthday. This shirt is form Opa and Grandma in the U.S. He looks almost like a grown-up.

Don't Bother Me

Last weekend, Papa, Mama, and EL went out to go to a park. EL decided to sleep for a long time on his stroller even after we got to a park. He looked like he is relaxing on the beach. After he woke up, we played in a sand box. We all had so much fun playing with sand!

First Haircut

EL had his first haircut on Monday. Mama cut a part of his hair while he was asleep. After he woke up, she cut the rest while he was playing. Mama says, "It's soooo hard to cut his hair!"

Teaching Papa How to Drink

We went to a small park near our house on Sunday. It was nice and quiet. EL was playing with grass and mud.



EL was also teaching and helping Papa how to drink out of a can.

Crazy Hair

"I just woke up, but I am so happy! Do you like my hair?!"

Cherry Blossom

EL and Mama went out to Inokashira Park to look at cherry trees. It was a nice day and there were a lot of people at the park. EL enjoyed playing with rocks and branches.

First Birthday

EL turned one year old on April 2, 2008!!!
