Month: October 2008

  • All By Myself

    I’m all alone at the moment. Yuriko and Mayuki have gone off to Nagoya for a week or so, so that Mayuki can spend some time with her grandparents (and vice versa). Yuriko is hoping to take advantage of baby-sitting services to get a few things done, as well. So I get left all on…

  • Mayuki’s Modelling Debut

    Mayuki’s debut work as a model has now been released. Unfortunately for most readers of this blog, it’s only available in Japan, and even here it can’t be purchased. However, you can see some of the pictures from the shoots for it; Yuriko’s friend Sonoe took them, and there are some pictures on her blog.…

  • Sudden Walking

    Yesterday evening, Mayuki suddenly decided to go walking around our living room all by herself. It’s really a bit mystifying.

  • Busy Lives

    I’ve not had time to get the diary caught up yet, even though there’s only one entry to go, because I’ve had to do lots of work. Yuriko has been busy as well. On Tuesday she went to the Taira Children’s Culture Centre for a talk on food for babies from one to two, which…

  • New Diary Entry

    I’ve put up another new diary entry. That means that there’s only our trip to Atami to do, and that was this month.

  • A Proper Father

    I am now a proper father. Mayuki threw up all over me today. I had a bit of a lie in this morning, and after I got up and we had breakfast, I gave Mayuki a bottle of milk while we sat on the sofa. She drank it all down at once, and then got…

  • New Diary Entry

    Yet another new diary entry, you lucky people. There may be a slight hiatus in the near future, however.

  • New Diary Entry

    I’ve added another new diary entry. Maybe I will get caught up.
