     My son is 1 year and 3 months old now and speaks a lot these days.
     He calls me "CHO-CHA", his mother "CHA-CHA". When I cannot tell the difference between them, I'm always thinking that is me. It make me indescribably happy.
     He can speak other words; a foot, a leaf, a hole and a walk.
     ASHI means a foot in Japanese, he pronounces "A-CHA" with pointing his finger to my foot, his mother's or his own.
     HAPPA means a leaf in Japanese, he pronounces properly "HAPPA". He uses this word for not only a leaf but his favorite things. He likes going outside and when he wants to go outside, he points to outside and says "HAPPA!".
     A-na means a hole, he pronounces "A-NYA". He can find a tiny difference. He always picks up a tiny dust we cannot find in house. When we take a walk, he finds a car and says "BOO-BOO" ("BOO-BOO" is a common sound for babies, means a car), we are 100 meters far from it. Like this, he finds a tiny dint, hole, screw hole and says "A-NYA". Isn't it funny?
     Sanpo means taking a walk. He really likes going outside. When he is grizzling and we cannot make him calm, we say to him "let's take a walk!", he also says "A-N-PO!" and is going toward the door.
     Nowadays we can communicate by using words. I ask him, then he nods. When he wants to drink tea, he says "O-CHA".
     I can find a new thing about my son every day. It's his growth. Amazing and happy.

Since I wrote here last time, there's a lot of things happen to me because it's more than a half year.
However, there's one thing I should talk about, yeah, it's about my son. He was born on July 1st, in Osaka.

At that time, I was also living in Osaka, working at home. He and his mother (my wife) were stayed at the hospital for 10 days and then came back home. It was great time to me, living with my wife and baby. It was about 10 days because I needed to go back Tokyo to work, my wife and baby to Toyama, my wife's home town. We decided to live separately for a while because of thinking about child care. It's the best way that her mother and grand mother could help her there.

Now I'm living in Tokyo, my wife and son in Toyama. Once a month I've been to Toyama during the holidays. For now, summer holidays on August and consecutive holidays this month.
I've been there last week. My son was smiling if he felt good, and trying to talk without the word (with just sound). I was happy to feel his growth. To talk to him, to see his smiling, to hear his speaking, to hold him in my arms, to make and give him milk, anything to do with him was beautiful.

I'm looking forward to see my family next month.
