I haven’t done a You Capture in a long time…. so I will do it this week instead 🙂 Yes, I still give E a bottle….I should break her off that habit but she’s stubborn. Gotta love baby hands.  They are just so teeny tiny 🙂Read More →

Meet Big Yellow. (Ok, I just made up that name….but it’s better than calling her “Duck”) She’s E’s bathtub. She became E’s primary bathtub when E outgrew the one that fits in the sink. If you squeeze her duckbill, she’ll quack. E doesn’t like the quacking.  It confuses her. E loves to take her baths in Big Yellow. I think it’s because she can stand up in Big Yellow and won’t slip and fall. For more yellow photos, go check out I Should Be Folding Laundry.Read More →

This year, spring has been a little crazy. Normally, it’d be nice and warm and flowers would bloom and the weather is generally pleasant. Not this year. This year, spring decided it wanted to have mood swings. It was warm enough that we had cherry blossoms…but then as soon as they bloomed, the weather got all gloomy. It even snowed in some parts of Japan. It’s as if winter and spring wanted to co-exist. Still we had cherry blossoms. Then it got rainy and cold again. It felt like winter had won. But then the sun came back for us and it felt like summerRead More →

The flight between Tokyo and Los Angeles is never fun. It’s long, it’s tiring and it really screws up your sense of time. It’s even harder when you have to do it with an active toddler who is curious about everything she sees. Our flight back to Tokyo felt like a lifetime. It was only 11 1/2 hours but it really felt like it was never going to end. E was all over the place. She wanted to touch everything, see everything, wave at everyone and see what all our neighbors were up to. She wanted to sing her little songs and babble baby talk.Read More →

Lately, I’ve been working on getting back into my own photography now that E is more independent.  Of course, I can’t seem to get back into photographing like I use to.  Maybe it’s just from the lack of practice or because I can’t seem to focus on taking pictures of anything else other than E these days. Anyway, I found a blog carnival that sounds interesting so I decided to join in on this weeks challenge.  It’s hosted over at I Should Be Folding Laundry and the theme this week is “Faces”, something I have plenty of (all of E of course.) And a B&WRead More →
