Have been trying to take more videos of Noah recently- we don`t have a video camera but my little digital camera takes okay movies so we use that. My FIL has a good video camera setting on his DSLR too and is always taking videos of Noah but I keep forgetting to get copies from him so the following are all from mine. My little man is 9 months old now…
Noah laughs himself silly over an elephant.
Noah uses his gym as a walker- then stacks it at the end (I guess this isn`t a show of good parenting but on a positive note he was up pushing it around again in less than a minute so I think he got a fright more than anything)

Now for a different kind of video!
I had a check up at the baby doctor today and edamame-chan is going well. I like that my clinic puts all of my ultrasounds on a dvd (on the same dvd) as it makes it easier to go back and look through them and see how much bub grows.
Size of bub is good. I still haven`t gained any weight (and love that I am 5kg less than I was when I got PREGNANT with Noah) but I am definitely “showing” at least a little- to most who don`t know I am pregnant though I probably just look like I have a pot belly or a beer belly. I imagine the weight will start to pile on in the coming weeks though…
Anyone want to have guesses on whether edamame-chan is a boy or a girl? Maybe I will run a poll. My next appointment will likely be my last before I go to Australia (appointment is in 4 weeks and I leave for Australia in 7!) and I should be able to find out the sex then.
So take a guess at edamame-chan`s gender. Have no idea if this will work in this post or not but might as well give it ago…

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
You are 16 weeks already?!!?!?!?! WOW.
This is going by so fast… haha says the non-knocked up bystander
Cute videos of Noah!!! He’s getting so grown up, he seems fairly active so I bet in just another month or two you may be getting some full-blown walking action.
I wish the Dr. had been a bit more giving with edamame’s crouch shot =P
I don’t really have vibes on this one…. you’ve been telling me forever that you think you’ll have two boys so I’m sort of leaning in that direction just out of influence…
Hopefully they’ll be able to tell you in 4 more weeks..
Yeah I guessed boy because I think I remember you saying at some point that you imagined yourself as the mom of boys? Or am I making that up? LOL. I guess there is a 50/50 shot either way — are you getting a vibe about the sex yet? I never did, I didn’t find out the sex with Annika at all and was convinced she’d be a boy, probably because I really wanted a girl but was trying not to get my hopes up!
Noah is getting so big! Annika is able to pull up on stuff and cruise a bit but she’s definitely not doing push toys yet … I imagine she’ll be walking by a year though, she’s definitely doing stuff faster than her brother did. Noah looks like he might end up being an early walker!
Cute vids! I love the one where he’s cracking up over the elephant – adorable!
Edamame-chan looks good and healthy too – I have voted for girl because I think it’d be perfect if you had one of each!
Hey, cute vids of Noah. I love listening to his laugh!!!
I voted boy on the poll. I think I saw a chin-chin at 2:17 on the video. There look to be some protruding going on there….You said you thought boy again, right? Maybe your mummy instincts are right?? Althought it would be fun to have our little girls so close in age.
hehe, he’s such a cutie, love the laughing one especially!
Sara- Yeah, I think Noah will be walking by the time we go to Australia (just before his 11 month birthday) but he could prove me wrong. He is certainly very fast at crawling now and very quick to pull himself up on stuff and then jump back down to move onto something else. It is amazing watching him run around a room WITHOUT ACTUALLY running! hehe
Yeah I still have boy vibes. Similar to what Nicole saw too- I think I glimpsed a penis!
Jessica- With Noah I had boy vibes and this time I have similar vibes- I wouldn`t mind a little girl though but another little boy would be fine with me as well!! I can imagine myself with two boys!
Noah will push ANYTHING around that he can get his hands on- the other day it was a living room chair. hehe. I think he will be walking before a year.
Jess- The elephant cracking up video is a fav of mine too.
Nooh- Yeah I got similar vibes from the ultrasound but the doctor had a good look (it seemed) and said he couldn`t tell yet but I still think boy! What were your mummy instincts telling you before you found out lil one was a girl?
Corinne- Thanks!
Hehe love Noah’s laugh! He is so cute, can’t wait to see pics of edamame-chan when s/he arrives to see how similar or different they are! My sister and I are very different so it always fascinates me to see siblings with similar looks.
Just to be different I voted for a girl (well to be honest I voted before I even watched the DVD, lol). I just have a feeling… one of each would be perfect!! But I bet you go and prove me wrong (like you did with Noah) and end up with 2 little boys like you have always said you would have.
I too love Noah’s laugh. It is so contagious!!
I voted for a girl, only because there is nothing better than having one of each, and that you already have the older brother …. so then he can become the overprotective bro to his little sis, (when they’re not fighting that is lol)
What a cute kid you have! His laugh is so contagious! Pretty clever how he can stand up! He’ll be walking in no time!
