Strong affinity between grandfather and grandson “Doki no Sakura (Intimate Contemporaries)”

　Now that typhoon 14 is approaching Japan, those who are residing mainly in West Japan I hope all of you are living safely. As for myself, indeed I stayed home while the typhoon was approaching, and now I am running around here and there for my son’s daily walk.

　While I was away from renewing this column, my son is now 9 months old. The day he became 7 months old, he suddenly stood up and started to cruise, and crawling very fast and kept moving around the house and I had no time to relax at all. As he was able to move around as he wants, he became more cheerful and his smiling face seemed to have increased. The other day, he crawled around the president’s office while his grandfather was watching over him. I would like to introduce his movements in the next Mega Health News.

　Today’s photo (above), I would like to introduce 2 photos of their excellent Oneness. I call these photos “Doki no Sakura (Intimate Contemporaries). It is rather strange that grandfather and grandson are Intimate Contemporaries. Yet there is an affinity between them, and it is amazing to find many times that when they sit next to each other they look and take exactly the same pose. When they sit shoulder to shoulder, grandfather looks rejuvenated and grandson looks gallantly matured, and they are giving the impression that their souls are fused into one. In the second photo, grandson, a baby under 12 months old, is scratching his head like an adult and smiling.

　The third photo (below) is a special feature of summer, the day he ate watermelon. It was when he was not yet 6 months old, and his muscular strength has not yet developed and looking plump. It was about one month after he started eating baby-food. At present, the start of baby-food is from 5 months old according to the guiding principle of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. And I have started to give him baby-food from 5 months old. In the following Mega Health News, I would like to write about “Food,” which is the basis of MEGAHEALTH, and also about baby-food. I look forward to your continued support of Megahealth News.

Starting to have baby-food, plump son and plump watermelon.
