Blessing

On May 24, 2009 we got to bless Koyo. We wanted to do it before Grandma Yoko left for Japan.
Koyo was very good during the meeting. He slept through the whole time, not even one peep.
We are grateful that we were able to have so many people join in on the blessing circle.

Well, Koyo is now 5 weeks old and has definitely gained some more weight.
We still can't really tell what color his eyes is...since they change so much everyday.
Grandma Yoko went home today to Japan. We will miss having her here and all her help.
Chisa is not sure if she will be able to keep up with all the house work now.

Our rabbit, Stitch, got neutered last week. He did good and is recovering very quickly. We were hoping that it will help him settle down a little, but it seems like he still has the urges to try to hump Chisa's leg. We will have to find a way to train him better.

We are trying to prepare for our trip next week to Japan for Chisa's sister's (Reiko) wedding. We are bit worried about the travel on the plane and also in Japan. Hope that all goes well. Koyo sleeps well so we think there will be no problem in that aspect of things but just that we worry about his health. We are taking with us sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizers to make sure we take extra percuation. We won't be doing as much this time in Japan, we will have to stay home more and help Reiko with preparing for her big day!

Growing Boy

We went to the doctor the other day for Koyo's two week check up. Since his birth, he grew from 18.5 inches to 20.5 inches. He also gained weight from 6 lbs 14 oz to 7 lbs 11 oz. He is still a mellow little boy except when he is hungry. He sleeps well for which we are grateful. Here are a couple more pictures of him.

A Little Boy

We had our little baby on April 21st, at 6:42p.m. He was 6lb 2oz, 18 1/2 inches long.
We have finally decided on a name. Koyo Gordon McLemore.
Koyo is a name that Chisa's dad always wanted to give his child if he ever had a son (which he never did) and the Kanji for the name is taken from Chisa's dad's and mom's name.
Hope everyone will be able to say his name ok. Its a bit tough for some people.

Koyo has some big hands and feet like his dad and has almond shaped eyes like his mom's.
Everyone says that he is a good mix of mommy and daddy.
He is so cute and a very calm baby.
We are glad the whole delivery and labor part is over and that he is finally here.
Gordon has been busy with work, taking care of Chisa and Koyo, and tests for his anatomy class.
Chisa has been doing good recovering from labor and Pnemonia that she found out she had on the Monday after Koyo's birth.

It seems like Koyo is changing everyday. We have to keep taking pics or else we will forget what he looked like!
