An update to an update…

Oops. I promised some weirdness in my last update. I forgot the weirdness.

You want weirdness?

Let’s see… how about the Perverted Old Man Photography Club that has young models come and pose in front of various things picture? Today’s theme was cherry blossoms.

Cherry Blossom Girl Photo Club

Apparently they meet every once in awhile and have models stand in front of different things where they take pictures. This was just the first round. Right as we were leaving they had changed into mini skirts and there was a camera taking frenzy. nice… never mind the lack of cherry blossoms.

Ok… we should balance that out with a cool picture of Noa (because he is cool.)

Noa is cool

He looks like a rapper.

Hmm… still not balanced.

Let’s add in a movie of him saying something random:

Finally, people have been asking about what Noa likes.

Here is a list of things that Noa likes that may or may not be correct.

  1. Food (any)
  2. Anpan-man
  3. Trains and Cars
  4. Elephants
  5. Punching his parents in the face and then saying “ow”
  6. Dancing
  7. Stickers

Recently he loves peeling off stickers. Fortunately he usually puts them on paper.

Noa being pushed around, helicopters and weirdness

Remember how we said Noa got a new bike? Well he was pissed because we haven’t shown it to you yet.

New Bike

He is so cool. He has no idea about steering though. It takes forever for him to go anywhere because we have to keep readjusting his trajectory.

More importantly is news on Noa’s gheyness. Look at these pictures I found.

Noa being pushed around

Thats right…. Noa also knows female children.

(that makes one of us. to be perfectly honest, I have no idea who this child is. I found it on my computer after I uploaded the latest batch of pictures. Never seen the kid before in my life. What is she doing with Noa? I have no idea. Let’s ask Kiko.)

Unfortunately she was pushing Noa around.

After he came home I beat some sense into him and set things straight.

Noa doing the pushing

That’s right! You go where Noa tells you to go.

Who ever said Noa was ghey? [1] [2] [3]

(it may or may not have been caused when Jim rammed his head into a light fixture at the age of one month)

(this resulted in the following picture)

Noa and Jim

And finally… I promised you helicopters.

What does this all prove?

That baby awesome is still awesome.

Late Updates … coming Later

When davidandkiko.com first started, I was updating about once a week.

After Noa was born we managed to update every few days.

Unfortunately I seem to have fallen off the cart.

We have a ton of photos and videos to upload, but between the new computer, the broken photo album, and the busy schedule, I have been very lax in getting it up. Kiko is chiding me to show off her beautiful photography, so I will have some up soon.

The weirdest part is, although you guys aren’t commenting as much, we have more visitors visiting regularly than ever! So post!! You are making Noa cry.

Cherry blossoms, Soccer, New Work, New Teeth, New Words… we have a ton of updates coming soon!

In the meantime:

Look at Noa drumming

or, perhaps you can look at the Tokyo subway map handkerchief I got.

THIS PIC IS JUST OF THE SUBWAY LINES, NOT THE TRAINS!!

Middle of March: What have we been doing!?

So, how was our week?

It wasn’t too exciting. It is almost Sakura (Cherry Blossom) season, so we have been taking it easy.

We thought we would take this opportunity to show you what we have been up to recently.

First things first, people wanted more of the half-baby parade.

Noa was also transported to Toys R Us where his Grandmother (over here) bought him a wheel rider. He loved it in the store, but has since decided that he only wants to push it around.

Noas new bike
Noa has also decided that he can get angry for reasons ranging from nothing to not getting him his milk quick enough.

For those of you who doubt Noa can speak English. Here he is talking about his favourite thing.

I have decided that Noa likes rabbits. See here.

I think Kiko may have finally overtaken me in the photo department.

Noa and flowers

Recently Noa … in Video (aka. Noa vs. Tickle Me Elmo Round #2)

… with a special appearance by me.

…. directed by Kiko.

So! Noa loves elephants. In Japan apaprently elephants go “Paaaaaauuu” so that’s what Noa screams whenever he sees an elephant. Our good friend, Nakanishi-san, bought Noa a nice big elephant stuff toy. Watch as Noa opens it up!

The next weekend we took a trip to Toys R Us. There, Noa shows his gift for singing (clearly better than Jim) while playing the piano. Heres a picture:

And here’s the video…

and finally

NOA VS. Tickle Me Elmo X : Round 2

So, our very dear friends Mike and Lara bought Noa a ticklet me Elmo before Christmas last year. (Thank you!!!) You should have seen the shuddering and terror it brought to Noa. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the video up. Well, we haven’t been able to bring it out of the box because Noa has developed some sort of trauma over it.

We thought that since we were in Toys R Us, and Noa was having such a good time, that we would give it another go in a new environment to see if he hadn’t warmed up to Elmo….

Concert Footage!?

Ok…. so maybe we weren’t allowed to take photos of Noa at the concert because cameras are not allowed at Japanese concerts.

And maybe we had to settle for a crappy cellphone picture taken outside with Noa holding a $7 balloon.

And perhaps you will have to settle for a picture of Noa riding some small 3 wheel thing he stole from another child.

but at least we have a picture of Noa in a bucket.
