Now that Mirei is getting more and more active, she and Mio are also interacting more. While Mio still often seems to regards Mirei as a little bit of a nuisance, it’s sweet when we find that she is not just tolerating/ignoring her and letting her join in activities alongside her and even playing together.
Mio and Mirei playing in Mio’s room.
Backyard fun together back on first day of fall
This is from over a month ago, but Mio tickling Mirei with me:
Shopping at Home Depot with Daddy
Sisters napping together
Mio playing with Mirei… and Mirei deciding she’s not going to take it anymore.
Bathtime together. They both love taking baths! (And it’s so much easier now that we can bathe them together.)
Watching a Japanese children’s show (Shimajiro) together
Mio likes to crawl into Mirei’s crib and put a blanket over it, creating a little tent within it. Mirei usually hates being put in the crib, but she’s totally fine with staying in it as long as big sister’s in there with her! 🙂
Trying miso soup for the first time, from a straw:
More standing:
Playing with a hairbrush:
Auntie Miwa fed her some takoyaki (a piece without octopus) for the first time, and she loved it.
She loved playing under the tent that Dan made with the bedsheets!
Mirei’s making our heads spin with how fast she’s growing! Sometimes we wish she would slow down a little… I feel like she’s already quickly graduating from her baby days!
