November has just flown by, and I can’t believe that it’ll be December tomorrow! This year has been a blur — it’s gone by so fast, and yet I feel like so much has happened and we’ve made a lot of great memories. 2011 has been a very special year for us, and we hope to continue to love and laugh through what’s left of it!

running away!

"It's Mama!"

One thing I forgot to mention is that over the past couple weeks, Mio’s top teeth have been growing in. She’s getting four in at once — crazy! I’m sure it’s uncomfortable for her, but she actually hasn’t been that cranky…. We’re thanking our lucky stars that Mio is a relatively mellow baby.

Four teeth coming in at once!
Look at those teeth! "All the better to bite you with, my dear..."

 

Mio’s grandparents in Virginia (my parents) sent her an early Christmas present of the P’kolino Little Reader chair. It’s super cute, and Mio can already sit in it!

 

With her favorite book!

Thank you Ojiichan and Obaachan!
おじいちゃん、おばあちゃん、ありがとう!!!
