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…

Mayuki took her first steps today. I actually missed the very first two, because I was asleep (I’ve been very tired for some reason, can’t imagine why a freelance writer with a one-year-old might be tired), but I did see her second lot, as she walked one step from holding on to the back of…

I’m still busy trying to catch up from the holidays, but I’m slowly getting there. I might actually be caught up by the end of next week, although I’ll have to work again this weekend. While that means that I still don’t have time to write up proper diary entries, I do at least have…

It’s been so long since I wrote a blog post that the software asked me for my password. Sorry about that. Anyway, Mayuki had her 9/10 month checkup yesterday, and she’s fine. (I couldn’t go, because I had to work, so I have to rely on what Yuriko told me.) Her weight is still under…

Mayuki has started crawling. Her first definite crawl was the day before yesterday, so she’s still not very quick, but she can definitely move in a clear direction, to get to the phone so that she can play with it. She really likes our phone. It beeps when you press the buttons, and if you…
