05/05/08.. Kaisei almost 5 months old

Kaisei is almost 5 months old now and I am coming up on my very first Mother's Day! He is becoming quite vocal and has learned a few new tricks really recently. He can now roll all the way over by himself and sit up using his hands to support himself. He likes to stick his tongue out and to be tickled. He is now a world traveller having just gotten back from his very first trip to Japan where he got to spend time with his grandparents & aunts. We had a great time and got lots of amazing photos to share with him when he gets older. The most impressive part of the trip was how well Kaisei did on the long plane rides. He was such a good boy!

海星ももう少しで生後５ヶ月になります。２−３日前から自分で寝返りを打つこともできました。日本への初めての旅も無事に終わり、またアメリカでの生活に戻りました。飛行機のなかでは全然泣かなかったぞ！日本の親戚のみんな、おじいちゃん・おばあちゃんにも会えて良かったね！

04/04/08.. Kaisei 4 months old

Kaisei is already four months old now! He is becoming quite the "talker" and loves to smile and laugh - especially when he's with his daddy! He can almost roll all the way over - he should have it mastered in a few days. He is about to take his first trip to Japan this month - we hope he will enjoy the 11 hour plane ride!

海星、もう少しで４ヶ月、今日もう少しのところで自分で寝返りが打てるようになりました。後もう少しだね。来週の土曜日には日本に２週間の旅へと出発します。おばあちゃん、おじいちゃんと初めて会えるね。

03/17/08.. Kaisei 3 months old

Kaisei is now 3 months old. He is developing quite a personality. He is smiling, laughing and cooing often and is able to use his hands now to pick up toys. He is also working on learning to roll over. We think he will figure it out very soon.

もう３ヶ月ちょっと。首があがるようになりました。よく笑うようにもなったよ。

海星生後１ヶ月。首もしっかりしてきてよく笑うようにもなりました。笑顔が最高にかわいいね！

02/03/07.. Kaisei 7 weeks old

海星うまれて７週間目。しっかりしてきました。笑顔をみせるようになり、すくすく成長しています。体重も６キログラム。４月に日本に帰る予定をたてました。飛行機大丈夫かな？

Kaisei is now 7 weeks old and is growing so fast! He was 12.5 pounds at his last doctor's appointment last week. He is beginning to smile now and has started making all sorts of cute noises. We are planning a trip to Japan in April when he will get to meet the rest of his family. We are all very excited!

01/07/07.. Kaisei 4 weeks old.

Kaisei is already 4 weeks old! We cannot believe how quickly time is going by. He is growing so fast and his appearance seems to change almost everyday. He is looking more and more like his daddy - he is one handsome boy!! He still has his days and nights mixed up, but is improving slightly. He is such a sweet baby and is beginning to smile and make very cute noises.

海星うまれて早くも４週間です。おかさんの母乳も順調に出てきて、すくすく健康に育ってます。目もぱっちりと開けてキョロキョロとみるようになりました。でもちょっとまだ夜泣きが続くね。ときどき眉毛をかしめて真剣な顔を見せるよ。なにを考えてるのだろうかね？

12/30/07.. New Year’s Gift From Japan

今年ももうすぐ終わり。。今日は日本からの家族からプレゼントを受け取りました。海星は初めてのお年玉とおばちゃんから手作りのキルト毛布を受け取りました。ありがとう！

12/25/07.. Kaisei is 2 weeks old

We cannot believe how fast time is going by. Our son is already two weeks old! We just celebrated his first Christmas - he is the best gift we could have ever received. He was dressed in a very cute snowman outfit for the occasion and was quite handsome! He had his two week checkup at his pediatrician's office yesterday and is doing great! He has grown 1/2 inch in length and 8 oz in weight since he was born. His "look" seems to change everyday. He is beginning to acquire more and more of his mommy's facial traits, but we still think he looks most like his daddy. We are loving being parents!!

海星が生まれ、早くも２週間が経とうとしています。健康ですくすく、夜泣きには悩まされますが成長しています。今日は初めてのクリスマスを迎えました。海星へのプレゼントはヤギの縫いぐるみ。海の音や鳥の鳴き声が縫いぐるみなら鳴ります。

12/11/07.. Kaisei is born!

On December 11th of 2007, our son arrived. We named him Kaisei Alan Nakamuro. He was born at 5 am and weighed 8.7 pounds. He was 20.5 inches long. He is very healthy and extremely sweet!! We are overjoyed and are enjoying our first days of parenthood. We look forward to taking him home soon.

２００７年１２月１１日の午前５時頃に長男、海星（カイセイ）が誕生しました。アメリカ人と日本人とのハーフの子。とても元気で健康な子。これから家族３人で歩んでいきます。幸せでいっぱいです。

10/13/07.. Baby Shower for Jennifer & Kaisei

Today we were thrown a baby shower by my mother & my two best friends, Jean & Amy at my parent's house in Bellingham. We had a wonderful day and received many lovely gifts for baby Kaisei. We also played several very fun games including a baby food taste-testing game as well a game that involved identifying unknown brown substances inside a diaper (edible substances of course...) Many thanks to the hosts and guests for making it such a perfect day for us!


初めてのブログ投稿です。今日は妻、ジェニファーのためのベビーシャワーが彼女の実家でありました。ベビーシャワーというのは家族や友人が集まり、出産の無事を祈ったり、ギフトの交換、ゲームなどして赤ちゃんを祝福する行事です。たくさんのギフトを頂きました。おむつにチョコレートをつけて、その品名を当て合うというおもしろいゲームもしました。ジェーンも妊娠８ヶ月です。１２月の始めには私もお父さんとなります。男の子です。
