Wii love you [chris]

I only do this because I love ya. 😮 (consider it motivation to go get one so we can play multiplayer games… when they come out… not that you haven’t been trying! It’s almost impossible to get one in Japan too if it makes you feel any better…)

Oh god… it’s a wall of Wii goodness. Why do I have 2 Wii’s, 3 controllers and a whole bunch of other stuff (note the two games not available in the US. Wario Dance or whatever its called and Wii Play [comes with the controller])…? It’s a long story.

.

Not really. It begins like this:

After Noa broke Kiko’s nose, I didn’t go to my soccer tournament in Awaji (with my good friend Jim! Sorry Jim!). My other good friend Brian offered to come with me to get a Wii. I did a lot of research and I figured our best bet was this store above. See how close I am to the front? (I’m poking my head out the top!) #8 in line! Woohoo!

It wasn’t so woohoo after I realized I had misread the kanji and it actually said lottery instead of priority. … so about 5 minutes before the lottery started (and 4 hours after I got there) a whole rush of people came, got a ticket and apparently won their wii’s, because I certainly didn’t. boooooooooo-urns. (to paraphrase mikey)

Was that the end of it? No. I decided to go Yahoo Auctioning … (its like E-bay but for Japan.) Ended up winning like a billion auctions (I went a little bit spastic.) Re-sold some of them, and Brian (who didn’t get a Wii in the lottery either) bought the other one. So in fact, I only have 1 Wii, but after all the auction excitement (=profits), it ended up costing about $50 less then retail. WoohoO!

Here is a Samba de Amigo (best game ever!) Dreamcast Maraccas controller for good measure.

“BREAK”ING NEWS!

Noa breaks Kiko’s face!

Get it? Breaking news. No joke. Noa decided that he wanted to destroy Kiko’s face and did a flying baby drop on her head. Kiko called me and told me she thought her nose was broken.

Fortunately … it was only fractured. Noa is happy. More updates and pictures to come.

Noa can not only do stuff, but say stuff

I wish we had the ability to put new videos up, but you will have to give me a few more days… our camera is acting up (sorry Chris!)

That being said, the rate at which Noa is levelling up has increased! He recognizes a lot more stuff and has started to say things.

Here are a list of Noa words (in the order he started to say them)

  • Manma (= food. maybe from his favourite snack, baby mummum)
  • Dada (= anyone he likes. )
  • apple (= but he likes bananas better)
  • open (= until recently it meant apple, but now he gets it.)
  • mama (= kiko, or possibly Kiko’s goods.)
  • please (= instead of bashing my head with a book, now he bases AND says please)
  • anpanman (= favourite cartoon character)
  • jiji + baba (= grandfather and grandmother in Japanese )
  • sit down (well, he can’t say it, but he knows what it means!!)

that is all 😮

A little video loving…

I think we are almost over the initial hiccups of the new password system. Ug. 😉 I actually have no idea why so many crazies want to crash davidandkiko.com, so you will have to forgive us. If you are reading this then everything is a.o.k. C.o.o.l.

A bit of exciting news… we will be opening up a video section in the next few weeks. There will be a ton of videos of Noa and us all nicely layed out. It should be pretty exciting and we are looking forward to having more stuff for you guys to see, and new ways for you to make fun of Noa.

In the meantime, here is a video of the genius boy himself. Kiko taught him how to say “uh oh” and you can see him doing a little bit of feeding himself action.
