Workout Sachan

Doing the best imitation of her momma, Sachi has apparently taken up yoga as an extra-curricular activity.  She's not yet at Warrior pose (she can't stand up) or Gomukhasana (short, fat arms), but she seems to have both Plank and Table down pat.  Check her out:

Swollen Eyed Baby

From the looks of things, our little girl got beat up by some unnamed foe.  Could the culprit have been her partner in crime?  Drama in the Oza-Takemoto household!

Jealousy?

Fight!

The loser is reduced to name calling and tail-pulling:

Assessing injuries:

 The real culprit is found!

Apparently little Sachi might be allergic to dairy protein, thus causing the eye blowup.  While attempting to document a tussle between the babe and pup may get us more publicity on E! or US Weekly, Sachan seems to simply have an unglamorous allergy, which she can hopefully outgrow.  Paipi may also be allergic to frequent beat downs, but he's going to have to age out of those also.

Sachi Goes International!

Sachi dumped her sidekick and tried her hand at international travel, taking a 13 day trip with the folks to her momma's homeland of Japan.  With Paipi out of the way, Sachi went to visit her grandparents (Baachan and Jiichan), auntie (Mikichan) and fake Paipi (Takemoto's mini daschund, Daichan).  Here's the proof:

Farewell to her friend, with finger in eye while Paipi tends to his spit covered bed:

Going to the shrine!

A little R&R in the hotel room at a mountain resort.  Sweet view!

Baachan, Jiichan and the family paparazzi

Sachi and her pops woke up early for the NFC Title game - Bears vs. Packers.  Sachi dressed in her typical Bears one-piece and even donned her Bears hat.
Pregame when spirits were high:

Post game...not so high:

Conveyor sushi!

One the way home.  Passed out in a hotel in Fukuoka before a 7AM flight.

Passport Baby!

For her 6 month anniversary (yeah 6 months already), Ms. Sachi Chiharu was cleared for international travel thanks to the good folks at the Beachwood Post Office and Hillary Clinton.  She got these sweet credentials about 31 years faster than her Uncle Kedar!  

Attempted Christmas Card

By now, you've probably noticed that you didn't receive an Xmas card from the Oza household.  It's not because we didn't try.  2 weeks before Christmas, our home computer crashed and died, limiting our ability to get photos off of our camera.  However, more trying was to get our two stars into a photo that wasn't a trainwreck.  Have a look at our comedy duo:

Sachi in November and December

Sorry that its been so long since we updated, but here are new pics of the babe

 Bear Coat!

 Unrestrained hair...definitely trait from the pops.

 Momma with Sachi in her tutu.

 The Pup finally makes an appearance.  Getting no respect from the kid, per the usual.
