All posts about our firstborn, Mio Elise Allen.
We received a package from my great grandparents in Japan a couple days ago, containing birthday presents for Mio! So grateful that Mio has such loving great grandparents, who are thinking of her all the way from Hiroshima!
Hopefully Mio will get a chance to see her Japanese great grandparents in person someday soon. 🙂
We went down to San Jose with Dan’s parents on Sunday to visit Mio’s Great Grandma! This was their second time seeing each other — the first was when Mio was only three weeks old, so it’s been almost a year. Mio was walking around everywhere in the house and in the backyard, exploring every nook and cranny — Great Grandma was very impressed with how much she has grown. It was lovely seeing Great Grandma, Aunt Monica, and Uncle Greg again!
Thank you Great Grandma for the hospitality and for dinner! We hope to visit again soon. 🙂
Mio got a package from her grandparents in Virginia! An early birthday present with a card from the whole family on Mama’s side!
Thank you, everyone! I can’t believe Mio will be one year old in less than two weeks!
Since we’ve been cooped up indoors thanks to the rain, Mio has become pretty resourceful in entertaining herself around the house. She’s never shown too much of an interest in toys (or maybe we have the wrong ones) and is much more intrigued by random found objects. Here she is being silly with the mirror and the lid of a box….
Her personality is really starting to emerge and it’s so fun for us to watch. I love how goofy and imaginative she is, and can’t get enough of her funny antics!
