Lindsey Morimoto…

Aya and I went to meet the newest addition to the Morimoto family…baby Lindsey!

Another ‘sucker’ joining the infamous “Parent-club”

Roller Coaster…

Tom, Angela, Harrison, Lucy and Maggie shared their roller coaster with Stacy and now Stacy is riding it like a pro!

Mother’s Day Part 3…

Look who showed up again…Mister Sleepy Head:

 

We went over to my mom and dads house for Mother’s Day dinner and before dinner started Bryan is sleeping…again.  This time Jack got in on the action:

Mothers Day Part 2…

Jack read this book to Aya for Mother’s Day:

Mothers Day Part 1…

Jack spent a few days at school making a nice Mother’s Day card for Aya: 

 

Jack also made Aya a nice jewelry box:

kingyo no foon...

 Okay, everyone thinks I am soooo mean and Aya is soooo nice, but Aya has another nickname for Stacy...Kingyo no foon.   See, it is totally Japanese so you know I couldn't of made it up.  In any case, the translation of Kingyo no foon is the poop that follows a goldish:

So why does Aya call Stacy this?  Because she follows Jack all over the place!   For some reason Stacy likes to eat her snacks on the staircase so Jack will go there because Stacy likes it:

She even eats when Jack eats...although Jack tries to eat fast so then he can some of Stacy's...and Jack never ever eats fast...only when it comes to cookies and candies!



Follow up story:

Aya and I were at the pool with kids and Aya was feeding Stacy.

Aya:  Whoops.
Miles: What?
Aya:  I was waiting to feed Stacy and snot dripped out of her nose onto her spoon with food.
Miles:  Eww
Miles:  Wait!!  You aren't going to feed it to her are you?
Aya:  Why?  She won't know the difference.
Miles:  Eeewww.

Aya then threw away that spoonful of food...but I think if I didn't say 'eeewww' she would have given it to Stacy!!

Redondo Beach Pier Part 3…

Of course, no outing with Aya is complete unless there is food involved.  We started the day with the breakfast of champions…cotton candy:

 

Jack was trying to show Stacy how to eat it:

 

Up next…crab.  Every time Stacy took a bite she would say, “yyyuuuummm”.

 

Of course we had to wash it all down with a churro:

Redondo Beach Pier Part 2…

It was a bunch of firsts for Stacy at Redondo Beach.  It was her first time walk on sand at the beach:

 

She was a little unsure at first but then we really liked it:

 

Next, it was Stacy’s first time in the ocean:

 

Stacy didn’t like that too much…and neither did Jack.  I think the water was cold for each of them and Jack was more concerned the salt water would ruin his cotton candy!

 

Stacy definitely did not like the sand stuck in between her toes!!

 

Redondo Beach Pier Part 1…

We decided to do something different and head on out to Redondo Beach over the weekend.  As we were walking to the pier Jack decided to pose like a bird:

 

What ended up being great is that a few minutes later we a pelican landed near us and we decided to take pictures with the pelican:

 

 

Jack didn’t want to get any closer so then I made him take Stacy:

 

Even Aya got into the act…fobber  style:

Boats…

I felt bad because Jack and I are at the pool for a long time, but Aya and Stacy go back early for a nap or because we don’t want Stacy to be in the sun that long, so in the afternoon I set up Jacks old boat play toy:

 

Of course, Jack wanted to play as well so he had to get out there to ‘show’ Stacy how to do it correctly.

 

 

I dunno if it made a difference not being at the pool because Stacy learned she could just dump the water on herself and ended up being soaked!

Pool Time…

Luckily the weekends have been nice and warm so we are taking advantage of it by going to the pool.  Stacy loves going to the pool:

 

Jack doesn’t mind the company because it just gives him more people to splash!!

15 month checkup…

Stacy has her 15 month checkup last month and everything was a-ok.  Actually, Aya and I had a little bet going because Stacy eats so much that we thought the doctor was going to tell us she was a little fattie.  We were betting on how much weight Stacy has gained in the past 3 months.

Her was Stacy’s percentile’s….60% and 15%.

Yup, we totally thought it would be 60% weight and 15% height…instead she is ONLY in the 15%-tile for weight and 60%-tile in height!   No way!!!

 

I thought my mom didn’t write the vitals down correctly, until I realized it was the doctor’s check-up sheet…so it couldn’t be wrong.  Who knew?  Our little fattie isn’t really a fattie but her big gut just hangs over her pants!!   We are just glad she is happy and healthy!!

Easter–Part 4…

Stacy participating in her first Easter Egg hunt:

Phew…that was hard work because right after Stacy got out of the way so she wasn’t trampled but decided she had enough and took a nap:

Easter–Part 3…

Once the dust settled and no one was hurt, everyone came away with a nice little haul of candy and money.

Not really…Harrison, didn’t play but still got an Easter bag.

Easter–Part 2…

This year’s Easter Egg hunt had 108 egg for 5 participants…who knew it would take another 5 adults to help set it up…I wonder who had more fun.

Well, well, well…look who shows up again…Mister Sleepy Head.   Still a mystery how this guy is always napping…and this time with a poopie diaper between his legs!

Easter WLA–Part 3…

Okay, I think video for the Easter Egg hunt is better than pictures…Jack is in the ORANGE shirt…here is the chaos!

 

Easter–WLA Part 2…

It was time for the main event…the Easter Egg Hunt!!   One minute there are eggs all over the park:
