Shiny White Weapons

Well there have been several developments I the last month or so. At almost exactly 6 months, on May 17th, Fuzuki had his first little tooth poke through his gum. It soon after poked through my finger, my arm, and many other unsuspecting items around our house. It was about 2 weeks before the 2nd tooth started to show. (Kind of hard to make them out in this pic, but try clicking for a larger view.)

With all that biting power, he has been increasing his appetite for real food, and usually gobbles down most things we put in front of him. At other times however, feeding him is like threading a needle while riding on the back of a wild bull after a few rounds (something I have yet to try). Needless to say his face often ends up making him look like he was on the losing end of a food fight.

Allies to the Cause Part II

Well this month there have been a few new entries in the top five allies to the cause list, while some still held their position. Let’s take a look.:

#5 The Nubby Bear Book

Entering the charts recently is this fantastic little “rub a fuzzy” book. Not only does it rhyme and have tasty thick pages with holes in them, it’s got fuzzy little fur spots on each page!

#4 The Rocking Horse

Training Fuzu to sit in his high chair was a huge challenge at first. Only the rocking horse helped us with that. It suctions onto the dinner tray (like an octopus) so that he can’t knock it over, and it sways back and forth, mezmorizing it’s prey (like a python?), so that we can get Fuzu’s dinner ready.

#3 The leaf drink coaster

This is also a dinner table item, however it’s used during mom and dad’s dinner hour. Fuzu bites into one of these semi-soft plastic drink coasters and seems to keep him quiet for long enough for at least one of us to finish dinner. Without it, we haven’t had a quiet dinner in more than a month.

#2 The Fuzzy Duckling Book

Remaining on the Top five list, and keeping its spot, there is no bath that takes place, without this book waiting by his PJ’s and fresh diaper. For some reason getting out of the bath is fine, but by the time he is all dried off and ready to recloth, all bets are off! The Quack Quack Book is our ace in the hat!

#1 The White Duck

Keeping its place with it’s jedi mind powers, The White Duck tops the list again.

Blackout

Following LeBron's spectacular playoff performance, my Cavs advanced to the NBA finals, for the first time in decades! Watching highlights is not enough, so I am having the finals taped and sent to me in Japan.

As most people know, this means I don't want to know anything about NBA, until I have watched all of the tapes, which will probably end up being about 2 to 3 weeks from now. I appreciate your help in not spoiling the excitement, and hours of dedicated taping!

The King!

I don't know if you follow NBA at all, but you MUST know about this Lebron James just had a 48 point game! If that's not enough, he scored 29 of the last 30 points for Cleveland in their double OT win over the Pistons. SWEETNESS!

Toss in 9 rebounds, 7 assists and you've got MVP material! Cleveland is up 3-2, one win away from the NBA FINALS! Nnnst!
