Meeting Anna

Our good friends Pat and Theo also had a baby girl in April, and we’ve been wanting to meet little Anna for a while now! Mio and I went to visit their beautiful family this past Sunday. It was Mio and Anna’s first playdate together, although they don’t really “play” so much as sleep, drink, and cry at this age. Still, it was really nice to see Pat and Theo again and share baby stories, and of course meet sweet baby Anna! I can’t wait for Mio and Anna to become friends in the future… 🙂

Future BFFs! — Anna and Mio: future BFFs! (I love Anna's raised arm!)

The next time we’ll see each other will most likely be during the winter holidays — I can’t wait to see how much they’ve both grown by then! 🙂

Smiling for Obaachan

Although Mio has been smiling for about a month now, her smiles have been few and far between. But since arriving in Virginia, she’s been smiling a lot for everyone, particularly for her obaachan (grandmother). 🙂

(She’s not smiling in these last couple ones, but I thought they were also cute grandmother-granddaughter moments… :))

Mio is getting a lot of love in Virginia from not only family, but a lot of her Mommy’s friends, too! 🙂 Here are some of the wonderful people Mio has had the pleasure of meeting the past few days — she is such a lucky girl! 😀

On Friday, my best friend Debbie came to see Mio.

Debbie brought Georgetown Cupcakes! I finally got to try them, and they were amazing.

Our family friend had a baby in February, so we had a playdate with their daughter Junna-chan on Saturday.

Mio slept through most of the playdate... — Here is Mio with Junna-chan. Mio slept through much of the playdate...

Today, Mio and I took the Metro to visit our friends Lan and Mie and their adorable sons! I forgot my camera so I couldn’t take many photos, but here are a couple that I took on my phone.

He is so adorable! — Mie with 10-month old Kosei. Super cute!!!

Auntie Lan with Mio — Lan holding Mio. Thank you for a fun afternoon together!

Mio is so lucky to be showered with so much love while we’re back East. We still have a little over a week left in Virginia, but we’ve already had so much fun making great memories with everyone here.
