Hiroshi's tenth month has been a HUGE month of firsts. Our little man has taken up what we call "preaching." He points his fingers and makes deliberate motions with his head and arms while babbling phrases, almost poetically. He LOVES to push things around, mainly his truck. He also loves rocking and holding Mae's babydoll. He now can nod his head yes and no, although he doesn't always mean "yes" and "no" when he does it. He can point out Daddy and Papa from a pictures and points to mommy's nose all the time...ususally UP my nose. He has 8 teeth, four on top and four on the bottom. Hiro and Mae love each others company, even though now they notice when the other has a toy or food that they want!
Baby Story Time!When we get a chance, we like to go to the library for baby story time. It's fun to have someplace to go that is especially geared for Hiroshi and other babies his age.
MeeAe plays with bubbles at the Tualatin library!
We try to get story time in at home, too!Japanese Gardens
We discovered cultural passes at the local library. We've been going on FREE family outings ever since!

The Children's Museum
We completely enjoyed our trip to the children's museum with Auntie Becca and MeeAe. It was so much fun to go to a space completely geared for the little ones. We did storytime and explored every room.
We painted the kid's faces. Messy, but a lot of fun!
Hiro's favorite section of the children museum was the water room. We could have spent the entire time in there!

We were so pleased Zach came up from Colorado this year! It was just like old times...with a little added Wii action!
Even Hiro wanted to play Wii!

It's so cute watching the cousins interact now that they are getting "closer" in age.l

For the last four years, the Iwata siblings forgo giving each other presents for Christmas, and instead have one night out of the year that we gather just for the purpose of enjoying being brothers and sisters. We are really blessed to have one another. This year was the most fun of all! There were more babies, lots of laughing and being merry. We had a wall sit competition and listened to Muppet Christmas carols late into the night. That sure does beat getting a Starbucks card!
