アヤネ1才になりましたー！/Ayane's first birthday!

アヤネが4月12日に1才の誕生日を迎えましたー！

Ayane had her 1st birthday on April 12, 2009!!

すくすく育って一年たった今ではちゃんとした靴を履いて歩いてます。ゴハンも手を使ったりたまにはママとパパが喜ぶのでスプーンも使ってご飯を食べたりしています。「あー！あー！」って言って物を欲しがったりします。またビデオすぐ載せますね。前日の11日には家族や友達を呼んでパーティーもしました。皆さんありがとうございまーす。この1才の誕生日にアヤネに何かハハから言葉や思いを！と思うんですが、アヤネへの愛おしさや、思い、愛してるよーと感じているとやっぱりまず最初に自分の両親に自分はこんなに愛されて育ったんだとわかり感謝します。こんなに元気に育ってくれてありがとう、アヤネ！ママはアヤネ大ー好きですよー！チュー！！アヤネの幸せと健康を願いそしてアヤネのこれからの素晴しい人生を満喫して欲しいです。ママはいつでもアヤネを愛し想い見守り応援し励ましそばにいますからネー。

いろんな人に気にかけてもらい親切にしてもらい愛してもらっています。やっぱりアヤネが生まれてからこの1年が私の人生の中で一番いろんなことが起きて充実した1年でしたね。妊娠中もなかなかいろんなことが起きて面白かったです、だから妊娠中も含めて。始まったばかりなのですが子供をつくるっていうことは素晴らしいんですね。1人目だったからなわけですけども妊娠中はなんか実感が湧かないだの何だのって言っていたけれど、今は絶対もう一人子供を産んでこのスバラシイ感触？をもう一度経験したいって感じてます。まだまだこれからまだ経験していない子育てのすばらしいさを経験するのだと思うと興奮してしまうし、もう一人子供を産まなくたっていいとは思うんけどやっぱりねー。アヤネと手をつないで歩けるようになったり、アヤネがママにキスしてくれるようになったり、アヤネが一人で洋服着れるようになったり、すぐ歯磨きしたり出来るようになるんですかねー。ホラやっぱりアヤネにも弟か妹を！って言うじゃないですか...ネッ！日本にもいるんですかね5人も6人もどんどん子供産み続ける人？こっちにはいます。なんどかその気持ちわからないでもないなーと思うんです、今だけは。なんかあまり間をおいても二人目産まないままになてしまいそうな感じもするし。わかりますかねー？他の人はどんなんでしょうか？

Ayane started walking with her shoes on now. She eats her meal using her hands and sometimes she uses her spoon especially because mommy and daddy get so excited and cheer when she eats with her spoon. She communicates with us about what she wants by saying "Ah-!?Ah-!?" We had her birthday party on April 11 because her real birthday was Easter Sunday the busy day for everyone. Thank you everyone!! I should say/write "something" for her 1st birthday from her mother to Ayane on this post but the more I think about my daughter the more I understand how much and how my parents love me and raised me. I would like to thank my parents on this day. Well, I am so happy that she is in good spirits and very healthy. I love you so much, Ayane. I wish your happiness and health, and also I wish you will enjoy your wonderful life coming ahead. I always love you, care about you, support you, encourage you and be there for you, always!!

I would like to thank everyone who always supports me, is kind, and care about me. Thank you. Well, it was the most wonderful year of my life. Gosh, so many things happened every single day, the wonderful things. Baby pimples on her face. Saw tears in her eyes for the first time(5/15). The first day I saw her smile (5/20). The day she got her first mail (6/3). Started staring at objects. Kicking her legs on a bouncer chair. First stay over at her grandparents house (7/7). First day at the day care (7/21). First laugh/giggle (7/21). Trip to Japan and turned over (4 months old). Started crawling (Dec.) and walking (Mar.) and... I should stop. If I think about it now, the period of pregnancy was great too. The whole process of having a baby is great!! While I was pregnant, I was saying I don't feel it's real and I wasn't loving it. Of course I wanted to have a baby and we did. Just it was the first pregnancy and I believe it happens to many women!? Definitely I will do this again. I want to have another baby and experience this 'feeling' again. This pregnancy and giving a birth experience!!! I get so excited about raising a child experience and all the things will happen to us in the future so I don't have another child. I wonder when me and Aynae will be able to walk holding hands together, when she kisses me on my cheek, and she puts her clothes on and she brushes her teeth by herself? Well, like everybody says "Ayane needs her brother or sister!" I also wonder if there are people in Japan like here in US who keep having 5, 6 and more babies?? I think there are many Americans who have more than 3 kids than Japan. I have never seen anyone my and my mother's generation have more than 3 kids. But, just for right now I think I can understand why they have many kids. I want to wait a little while to have another baby but I think I will never have another baby if I wait too long. Do you know what I mean?
