We spent a lot of September continuing to settle into our new home and neighborhood. Here are a handful of videos we took.

March Videos
Playing with disco lights before bedtime:
Mirei pretending to “read” my Kindle:
Mirei being goofy at lunch:
Tickles from Daddy!
Teatime and twirls:
Roll call! (Reminds me of this roll call video from over two years ago!)
The girls dancing with Daddy:
Video/Photo Catch-Up
I have been a horrible procrastinator about updating the blog lately! Here are a bunch of photos and videos from the past couple month that we’ve taken of our sweet girls! Some are quite funny — never a dull moment with these two!
Mio singing “Happy Birthday” to Mirei, about a week before her birthday. We had been telling Mio that Mirei’s birthday was coming up.
Mirei riding the zebra toy — her favorite!
Mio singing and guiding Mirei through the Japanese song, “Ito Maki Maki.” She was pretty sick and sniffly at the time, but it was really sweet to see this moment between the two of them!
Mirei clapping to the Japanese songs in her musical book! This totally reminds me of the video of Mio doing the same thing when she was around Mirei’s age!
Sisters scooting around on their princess ride:
Mirei continuing to ride while Mio dances around her…
Mirei is kind of scared of the talking Mother Goose doll she received for Christmas:
Warming up to it, but still seems distrustful…
Dance party in Mio’s room!
Mirei loves to pick up apples and oranges while we’re not looking, and walk around taking little bites out of them. She’s definitely a fruit lover!
“Welcome to my ‘humbled’ home.” Not sure where she picks these phrases up, but I love it! (Dan claims she probably learned it from Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh.)
Bathtime with M & M!
Mirei dancing (or rather, swaying) to the music from a Japanese kid’s show.
Mirei playing with pop-on toys:
An attempt at playing instruments together… our family never really did have any musical talent. haha*
Mirei trying to twirl to the xylophone music: (Her hair looks funny because she had just pulled a pigtail out.)
Theatrical Mio
Mio is quite the little performer these days! Every day she entertains us and makes us smile and laugh with all her dancing, singing, acting, and jokes!
It was only a matter of time before she fell in love with Frozen…
A distracted alphabet song performance…
Let’s try this again…
She also likes to sing Japanese songs… though she doesn’t always get the lyrics right…
I helped her out a little the second time. 😉
Singing 「ã¨ã‚“ã¼ã®ã‚ãŒãã€
Encore!
Mio’s funny video message to Grandma and Auntie Miwa who were in Japan at the time:
Wearing a crab hat from a Japanese restaurant:
Pretending to be Max from Where the Wild Things Are: “Be still!”
Playing make-believe with her Minnie Mouse(s):
Making a “diamond” with a DVD case:
“Shake Booty!”
Lately, Mio will break out into dance upon hearing music, repeatedly chanting, “Shake booty, shake booty!” Never fails to make us laugh!
