Happiness is a warm chair. Or sitting on a brown towel. Or white mittens with little yellow things on them. Or all three. 

Touched by an angel (Yugo)... 

Or else... 

School is tough. But style is easy for the YZY. Early admission freshman at the University of Texas, Yugo is taking a break from hitting the books, kickin' back in his Timbalands (shazam!) and his baggy pants. His all-original UT tee courtesy of Uncle Ben. For all you babies out there, here it is: from crib-life to thug-life in five easy steps.  

Happy Together

Adrian and Yugo

Yugo's best friend, "Adrian". 

Adrianは優悟より１週間早い２月４日に生まれました。優悟より少しお兄さんですが、この日彼らは友情を誓い合いました。周囲の大人にはわからない暗号のようなもので互いに交信し、何かを企んでいるようです。

Happy One Month! 

Happy One Month!

A brief respite from postings only to prepare for this moment:
Yugo's first month on earth!
After a long night of celebrating with friends and close family members, we hear he is planning to sleep in before returning to the fast-paced world of becoming.

His facial expressions have evolved as well; I think smiles are on their way soon. He seems to be ahead of the baby book recommendations and is already lifting his head at a two-month level. Last night he held up four fingers when asked what the square root of 16 was. Sheer chance? I don't think so. He is also adding variety to his cooing. However, we have found that he is enthralled by American Idol...

Happy 1 Month Yugo-chan!

Uptown Boy

Yes that's right, true believers, Yugo is uptown, soiling clean diapers everywhere and taking Hamilton Heights by storm. Who knows where he will go next. Djibouti? Khartoum? The supermarket? Stay tuned.

Step aside, Jesus. Go home, Momotaro. Dev- I mean Angel Baby's here to haunt your dreams with sweetness... 

I'm sorry, but these are big feet. A footballer in the making, mates. You know what they said about Einstein's feet too. 

Yugo's first challenge to be a man. 

へその緒が取れ、初めてのお風呂。泣いているが、実はお風呂が大好き。この後深い深い眠りにつくことができた。

Yukida! Yukida! 

Yugo's first snow at Riverside Park 

２月２８日、優悟は初めての雪を楽しみました。同時にママは滝に打たれるように雪と風に顔をさらし、眠気と戦っていました。「よし！これで明日の朝までぶっ飛ばすぜ！」・・・この日、優悟のへその緒が取れました。少し大人になりました。
