Akihiro's Adventures

Mama and I were walking down Market Street on Christmas Day singing Jingle Bells and Papa filmed it. Here’s wishing everyone a happy holiday season.

Mama and Papa took a lot of photos of me for the last six months but they have been so busy that they have not shared them with anyone. Well, here are my favorites. Plus you can see all of the photos in the Flickr Set.

Lots of people came to see me for my second birthday party. It was lots of fun and I got to eat the chocolate from my cake all by myself. More photos from the party are in the Flickr Set.

The family went to Yosemite and I really enjoyed it. Especially hiking through the woods in the “Nug Backpack” as pictured here. More photos from the trip can be found in the Flickr Set.

Papa created a playlist of all my videos from the time I was born to 20 months. You can watch them below or click on this link to check them out. Enjoy.

We went to my friend Dylan’s house for Easter and we looked for Easter eggs which was lots of fun (see below). More photos from the party can be found in the Flickr Set.

Mama and Papa took me to Dylan’s house on New Year’s Eve and I had a lot of fun playing with Dylan and his other friend Luke. Also, I was excited that Papa gave me the bottle that he had in his hand even if it was empty. Better luck next year I guess.

I was excited to finally be handed the bottle.

I just licked the bottle when I realized it was empty.

I went to L.A. with Mama and Papa for Christmas and the trip was filled with surprises. First, the first officer of the airplane let me sit in the cockpit before the plane took off. I was so excited I didn’t even know what to say. Then, the weather was good enough for us to wet our feet at the beach which was very nice. The water is usually too cold to touch in San Francisco. Finally, I got a chance to play with my friend Elijah when I was there which was very fun. See the videos and a sample photo below and the rest of the pictures here.

This is me exploring the tide pools at the beach.

This is me and Mama at the beach.

Papa is not really sure how tall I am, but he’s guessing that I am about 35 inches long and 27 to 28 pounds right now. My next doctor’s appointment is next month. As you can see from the photo, I am towering over the monkey and the fence on the pen. To put it in perspective, I am already more than half Papa’s height.

Papa just posted the photos that Mama took in Okinawa. As you can see from the few photos below, I had a lot of fun in the water and in the sand. I didn’t care much for the animals. Goats and rabbits are just not my thing. The rest of the photos from the trip may be found here.

Playing in the water was really fun!!

I think I liked playing with the sand just as much as the water!!
