静香:いつの間にか一人で立つことが出来るようになりました。と言ってもせいぜい十秒立てれば上出来なのですが・・・
何時も一緒にいるせいか彼女の発達に驚かなくなってきているような気がします。朝陽が立ったところの写真も母に言われたから撮ったようなもので、何も言われなかったら忘れていたかも知れません。 |
Chris: Look - she
stands. She can't walk yet, but if you stand her up, she can stand and
giggle at you for a while, which is all too cute.
On the down side, standing up means you can fall down - which she does a
lot of. Usually leading with her face into something hard and wood. It's
good she learns the pain of failure early - it will make her strong.

An early glimpse at politics. She watched all three
debates with us. Lucky for her, she didn't understand any of it - spared
her the rage. |
She is also feeding herself these days. Give her
something, and she puts it in her mouth. She's not picky, it doesn't
even have to be food. Paper, rocks, shoes, just about anything will do. |

And she likes to mess around in the cabinets. We decided
not to child proof them - we just made sure there wasn't anything
dangerous down there, and we let her dig around in the pots and pans
while Shizuka cooks. |

静香:何人かの友達と家でハロウィーン用のかぼちゃに顔やハロウィーンにちなんだ絵を彫りました。ちなみに私は右端の魔女が箒にのっている絵を彫りました。真ん中はクリス作、その左は小原さん作です。 |
Chris: We had
some friends over to carve Halloween pumpkins. You might guess I did the
one in the middle. I was tempted to throw them in the street after
Halloween, just like old times, but then I realized that I am old enough
that I would feel like I should clean up the mess. Man, getting old
sucks.

We had a lot of friends over - and made
a lot of mess. But the carpets here are pretty scroungy anyway, so no
big deal. One of our friends even had the bright idea to use a cordless
drill to carve the pumpkin with. Worked great - but cleaning the drill
will be a trick... |

Everybody hard at work. Note Obara-san
has two pumpkins. She does nothing halfway. Nothing. |
