February update

I'm under the gun to get this post in while it's still February. I haven't posted lately mainly because we've kind of just been going about our lives, and there's nothing out of the ordinary to report. Well, except that Taka is now crawling (fast!), standing, babbling, and practicing walking (holding Mommy or Daddy's hands) as often as possible! Here's a pictorial summary of the past couple of months:

Taka was so successful at the piano that he decided to take up the guitar.


He got his first real haircut...


...and went to the 1st birthday party of his day care buddy Galen! (Yes, he took over the exersaucer for a while.)


He did a little rocking out in his walker...



...and enjoyed another visit from his friend Judah, here all the way from Hong Kong. (No fighting this time!)


Of course we had our normal Saturdays at the diner...


...often followed by a romp on the swings (weather permitting).


Finally, we had a visit from Grandma, who brought a nice new knit sweater. (Thanks, Grandma Mac!)


And so, life in Taka times goes on. Sushi, anyone?
