She never fails to brighten up my days with that sunny smile of hers.

Little Miss Sunshine

We recently received another boxful of lovely hand-me-downs from my thoughtful cousin Yuko and their sweet family…. We’re so grateful to receive them every time — babies grow out of their clothing so fast that we would be broke if we had to buy all of Mio’s clothes brand new. Thank you Yuko, Devin, Beni and Sakura for all the cute clothes!

Mio already fits into a good number of them, so I’m determined to outfit her in all of them at least once before she outgrows them. It’s been getting pretty chilly in the Bay Area this past week, but here are some photos I snapped over the past couple of weeks of Mio in her sundresses before the weather got really cold….

Rosy cheeks!

Pretty in a sundress

Crawling over to Mama
Lately, she crawls over to grab onto my leg or lap when she wants to get held.

Love that smile!
My little Rainbow Brite.

Having fun in her nursery.

She loves to bite Sophie!

She has a lot of yellow dresses for some reason…

Leaning in to talk to Mama
This one's one of my favorite of Mio's dresses!

Reaching out for Mama!

An ombre dress!
I love the ombre color of the dress, and the dyed pattern on the bottom.

 

"Look what I found!"
A romper from Japan. Love the ruffles on the bum!

The outfit is Japanese, from Yuko! :)

Below is a video I took today of Mio eating her frozen watermelon (through a mesh feeder). She’s trying to suck on it while playing with her toys at the same time — already trying to multitask!

My favorite part of her eating her melon is that she often smacks her lips after pulling the feeder out of her mouth to take her little breaks. (I wish I could have captured it in the video, but alas… maybe next time.)
