Mio is looking less and less like a baby and more like a little girl these days. I’ve recently been wondering, “When does a baby become a toddler?”, and it seems like the general consensus among parents is that it’s either when the baby turns one or when they start walking, whichever comes sooner. Since she started taking her first steps a couple weeks ago, Mio has gotten better and better at walking and is now toddling everywhere — she is definitely walking more than she is crawling lately! So at 10 months old, it seems that our little Mio has already graduated to toddlerhood.
Here’s Mio this past week, at 45 weeks old.
Lately, when I turn on a children’s show (typically a Japanese sing-along) for Mio to watch, she’ll walk right up to the TV stand to get a closer look.
I wonder when she’ll realize that despite the fact that she’s right up against the television stand, she’s actually making it harder for herself to see from that angle… 😛
She love love loves exploring the bathroom! It’s the last frontier because I usually make sure to keep the door closed, but on the rare occasion that I forget, she’ll immediately make her way in to explore this as-yet relatively unknown territory.
She typically crashes around 5pm for an evening nap, after walking all over the house and causing mischief.
But then, by the time Daddy comes home, she’s up and about again and won’t go to sleep again until around 11pm or sometimes even midnight! 🙁
Mio is not even a year yet and she’s already become able to do so much! The journey of parenthood has been quite amazing, and we can’t wait to see what other adventures Mio will take us on…. 🙂
