Okuizome 12-03-08

The other night we had Okuizome for Junior. This is considered baby's first meal and is held to assure the baby won't go hungry for the rest of his life.













Junior's meal is on the left. Rice, pork, soup and vegetables. And his own mini chopsticks.































First time holding chopsticks.













Giving it a try...


















First time holding chopstick.


















And no, he didn't actually eat the meal. Hiroe did. Here's another photo, from another day, hanging out in the baby bjorne. He really, really, likes that thing.
