In the morning, Daddy holds me while he checks his email in Grandparents' house's dining room / kitchen. They actually have an ISDN connection, but Daddy still hasn't figured out completely how to get the Japanese ISDN software working on his computer, so he simply uses an analog phone line to call. |

Back in our room, Daddy holds me again. Now that he is satisfied after checking his email, I now start to cry for attention as I get hungry. |

We're getting ready to go out again. Daddy and Mommy took me out to go to the clinic for my checkup. Daddy used the "Buddy Buddy" carrying pack to take me, as we rode the train and a taxi to the clinic. Here is Daddy holding me at the local train station near Grandparents' house. |

At Iguchi Clinic, we visited the nursery again. It seemed like a long time ago since I left here. Mommy and Daddy said Thank You to the entire nursing staff, since each one of them helped us a lot when I was born here, less than one month ago. Mommy and Daddy wanted to take a picture of the nursery and the other babies, to show how much cuter I am compared to all of them, but they were all gone in their rooms with their mothers that afternoon. |

Here's Daddy holding me on the 3rd floor, in front of a small outside garden, which was right outside Mommy's room when we stayed here. Next Daddy holds me in the hospital lobby, as Mommy waits for her checkup as well. I also then have my checkup with a doctor, and they weighed me again. I am 3660 grams and 52 cm long now! They say this past week I grew 65 grams per day! (Normal is about 40 g/day for a Japanese baby.) |

After the checkups, Mommy and Daddy took me to Iguchi-sensei's office, where we went to say Thank You to Mrs. Iguchi. Mrs. Iguchi then gave me one of the stuffed teddy bears next to her as a present to me. |

Back at Grandparents' house, I'm back sleeping again. |
