Hugo turned 1! Retrospective (Part VI - Final)

Posted by Tomo Funai On 31 August 2010 0 comments

In July, we invited our friends over for Hugo's first birthday party
7月に友達をたくさん誘って拓賢の一歳の誕生日パーティーを開いた。

Click Here to see all of photo and videos from an album.
こちらに行くともっといっぱい写真やビデオが見れます。

We spent many hours trying to get these things together.
結構準備にも時間かかった。

Masami made most of the food. I helped out with the cheese fondue.
正美ちゃんがほとんどの食事を作った。自分はチーズフォンデュだけ

Hugo's pictures from 0 month to 12 months, as seen on our previous blog.
前のブログに書いた拓賢の0ヵ月から12ヵ月の写真の前で記念写真。

I edited the pictures and videos we took at the party.
パーティーのビデオを作ってみた。

We played a game to see who can draw Hugo's face the best.
拓賢の似顔絵対戦。個性的で面白い。

Hugo got so many presents. Thanks everyone!
たくさんのプレゼントも頂きました。ありがとう!

Time to sing happy birthday song.
ハッピーバースデイ。

Hugo's birthday cap

Many people have wondered what Hugo is wearing on his head.
拓賢が最近頭につけているのは何、と聞いてくる人がいる。

We bought at the IKEA. It's really cheap for how cute it is.
IKEAで買ってきた。かわいいくせに結構お値段も安かった。

On top, we put a colored piece of paper that says Happy birthday or something similar to that.
色紙に誕生日おめでとうと書いて、それを頭の上にのせている。

I just love it when Hugo wears it.
お似合いです。

World has gone sensually amok

Another absurd poster.

World has lowered its moral standards once again.
Think of what the would children/youth think of these.

Even the gentleman underneath says he's very con about it.

Hugo keeps growing

It's amazing how fast these children grow. It's been three weeks since his first birthday and he's walking... at fast pace! It's a joy to see him walk around... as well as troublesome when he starts walking and reaching to places where he should not.
拓賢もあっという間に大きくなっていく。一歳の誕生日から３週間ほどしかたたないのに、もう猛スピードで歩ける。何なんだ、この成長の早さは？こんなに元気に大きくなっていくのはうれしいけど、色んなところに気づかぬうちに歩いたり、手を届かせたりするから、ちょっと大変。

Here Masami tells Hugo to pick up an object and Hugo obediently brings it to her... twice. He seems to understand what his mom is saying, which is really cool.
正美ちゃんが、「とって」と言ったら、すぐに持ってきてくれる。正美ちゃん曰く、「なんておりこうさんなんでしょう。」本当にその通りである。母親の言っていることもちゃんとわかって来ている。

This isn't like a major heavy weight wrestling level, but Hugo can lift quite heavy items. That bottle is a Aloe Juice which is much more dense than regular water. It probably weighs a pound and a half (half kilo). Oh yeah, I need to mention that drawer had about 6 bottles in there. So to open the drawer in itself is a tough task for a 12 months old boy.
もちろんヘビー級レスラーレベルじゃないが（笑）、拓賢は結構重いものも持てるようになった。ビデオに映っているあのジュースはアロエジュースなので水よりももっと重い。500gくらいあると思う。ちなみに、あの引き出しには六つくらい同じボトルが入っていたので、引き出しあけるだけでも結構大変なはずなのだが。。。(笑）。

Las Vegas Part VIII: Visiting an old friend

Posted by Tomo Funai On 13 August 2010 0 comments

One of the things we looked forward to while visiting LV was to visit our old friend--the Andersons. We love them.
ラスベガスで楽しみにしていたのが、古友のアンダーソン家に会うことだ。

Here is Hugo not knowing what is going on.
Anderson took good care of Masami and her family back in Japan and in Utah long time ago.
何がおこっているのか、さっぱり分からない拓賢。
アンダーソン家は正美ちゃんが昔、熊本やユタでお世話になった家族で長年の知り合いだ。

彼らも１歳半の子供がいて、１０ヶ月（当時）の拓賢と一緒に仲良くしてくれた。
The Andersons also had a year and half year old son so Hugo (who was 10 months at the time) got along with him well.

Hugo turned 1! Retrospective (Part V)

For Hugo's first birthday, we made this.
拓賢の一歳の誕生日のためにこれを作ってあげた。

毎月、拓賢がどのくらい大きくなったか、わかりやすいように同じ姿勢で写真をとっていたのを大きな紙につけてみた。
We took pictures of Hugo on the same position for twelve months and stick them on the large piece of paper. This way, it's easy to see how much he has grown.
