 hana is now slowly but surely being weened off of breast milk, and seems to be adjusting nicely (with a few notable exceptions...especially in the middle of the night...about 3 am-ish...long bouts of screaming at the top of her little lungs...on and on...and on and on...) hana and her mommy visited great-grandma fumiko o-baachan yesterday and had a ball romping around uncle george's house. hana's new words: apple, referring to the whole, unpeeled apples; "gogo," baby talk for "ringo," the japanese word for apple, referring to peeled and sliced apples; "atta," the japanese word for "there it is!"; "cute cute," when she knows she is especially cute i.e. when she is wearing some new clothes; and "up, up," when she is trying to climb things; "kai, kai," japanese baby talk for "itchy"; and "itai-tai," japanese baby talk for "it hurts" (these last two are very helpful, as she is actually notifying us of these states). this shot is of hana capone, notorious 1.5 year old mobster.
