Mio had a playdate with her friend Izumi on Thursday! Little baby Izumi was born on Christmas Eve to our friends Megumi and John (whom we threw a baby shower for back in November). We’d been over to see Izumi a couple times since her birth, but this was the first time baby Izumi came to visit us at our place!

Mio was definitely curious and kept tottering over to Izumi, trying to touch her, so I had to keep pulling her away.

Awake and alert
So alert! Look at those beautiful eyes...

It's difficult to remember that Mio was also once this small!

 

Mio and Izumi are almost nine months apart, and the  difference feels huge at this baby stage, but they’ll level out in age in no time! They’re both 2011 babies, and I’m sure that in a few years, they would become sweet friends. 🙂

 

 

One of the biggest perks of having a little girl is how much fun it is to dress them up! I know Mio will not let me be her stylist forever, but until she starts wanting to define her own fashion statements, I’m going to take full advantage of the opportunity for as long as I can! 😛

 

One of the best parts of having a girl: dressing her up!

 

Studious...
Rocking hair clips for the first time!

 

Lovely heart print blouse
I saw this lovely blouse at Gap a couple months ago, and couldn't resist. The print is just the cutest!

 

Love this girl!
Hello Miss Adorable!

 

Mischief in her eyes...
Walking around, causing mischief in style.
