Jinja and Shoga: Life in the Land of the Rising Sun

  Keila is 2 months old today! I can't believe that the months have passed so quickly, yet at the same time, life without her seems a far and distant blur. My entire sense of time is a bit off right now, however. Since we didn't do much to traditionally celebrate Christmas or New Year's, I'm still awaiting the start of the holiday season. At least, that's my excuse in case the Christmas decorations don't come down until March this year!
   Keila started 2011 off with a nice surprise for us that first evening, though: cooing! Before, she had been making random noises, but this was the first time that she was definitely 'talking'. Fittingly enough, she was wearing a Beatles onesie that we'd gotten her: I always thought they were singing 'Coo coo c'coo' in I Am The Walrus instead of the actual 'Goo goo g'joob'.  Whatever the case, our little fashion queen has been babbling up a storm this past week. Maybe she'll be singing Yellow Submarine by the time she's 3 months!
