Matching pants

Momo-chan got this cute pair of pants so he tried them on immediately. Very cute!

Meeting for the second time

Pinga and Momo-chan visited their friends this afternoon. It was Momo-chan's second time to meet this baby who is almost 3 months older. He was curious about Momo-chan and as you can see his ear.

Momo-chan and his cousin

Momo-chan's cousin came out of the hospital today. She was sleeping next to Momo-chan and he was curiously looking at her.

Watching TV

Momo-chan can sit longer these days. He seems to like TV and watches it together with his grand father.

I have the power!

Momo-chan got a hold of the remote control and decided to change the channel to Pinga dads frustration. Is it maybe an early beer gut and TV watcher we are seeing here?

Baby Café

Pinga got tickets that could be used for different activities with Momo-chan. Today they used one ticket to get a drink and cake at a nearby baby café. It was decent but the berries on the plate was deep frozen still on the plate. Not good.

Momo-chan meets his cousin up close

Momo-chan's cousin is now together with her mother and they could all see each other. Momo-chan took a closer look but she was not so happy and cried a lot during the visit. Momo-chan is not that scary or?

I'm a model...

Momo-chan is having his beauty sleep in his model pose.

Money money money

Momo-chan got a hold of Pingu's wallet. Is Momo-chan already looking for shopping allowance?

Momo-chan same age friend

This Sunday they went to visit Pingu's old colleague from when Pingu was working in Japan. The family they visited have two children and the youngest is a son just one week younger than Momo-chan. Look how much more hair he has! They were treated to a wonderful lunch and even got presents for Momo-chan. Very sweet!

Momo-chan cousin born today!

Today is Momo-chan's 7 month birthday. This afternoon at 15.25 Momo-chan got a new cousin. Such a cute little girl! Momo-chan was also visiting the hospital but he was sleeping on daddy's stomach. Happy birthday little cousin!

Momo-chan helps with card game

Momo-chan did not want to sleep so he stayed up and helped the others while playing cards. He was doing well and was quite concentrated.

Koala no march family

There is a candy in Japan that is called Koala no march (march of the Koalas). It is a candy where every piece is printed with different Koala characters. These three is a bit like Pingu, Momo-chan and Pinga but what about me?

Momo-chan is Alfred Hitchcock Jr.?

Pingu was saying that Momo-chan looks a bit like Alfred Hitchcock in profile. Pinga said no but then today Pinga's dad said so as well. What do you think?

Huge Japanese pear

It may look like an apple but it is a delicious Japanese pear. They are quite expensive but also very tasty.

Shiraito waterfall

Final stop before going home was the Shiraito waterfall. It is a "wide" waterfall and surrounding forest was nice with leaves almost turning red.

Karuizawa soba lunch

Today they checked out so today is return-to-Tokyo-day. The couple from yesterday was also returning so they joined them in their car. On the way home they drove for a waterfall close to Karuizawa. Before visiting they stopped for lunch at this soba place. It was a lot of food for a good price. It was tasty too.

Ryokan dinner number 2

The second night the dinner at the ryokan was once again a lot of food. Momo-chan charmed the lady who came to serve them and she had a hard time explaining the menu as Momo-chan was laughing a lot which made her laugh as well.

Another private rotenburo

Pingu loves rotenburo and here is another one of the baths at the ryokan. It is a nice feeling to look up at the trees and feel the cool wind on your face while your body is heated by the hot water....

Kusatsu town

The hot spring resort town of Kusatsu is quite famous in Japan and in the heart of the city the hot spring water is at the surface and many people gather around it. This place is called Yubatake (hot water field). The water has quite a strong sulphur smell and it is really green.
