This weeks videos - One Happy Baby! & Learning to Crawl

Here are some videos for Grandma - and whoever else is interested! I also planned on getting a video at swimming lessons this week but it turns out videos are "against the rules" at the swimming school. Enjoy!

One Happy Baby!


Learning to Crawl

Sumire's First Cover Shoot

Blowing Bubbles













It is nice to have Sumire sitting at the table with us now. Still need to work on her manners a bit. The pix are of Christmas lights in Tokyo and Sumire getting fed.
Enjoy the video.

Welcome Yuma-chan

Miwa and Nao had a baby girl yesterday (on their anniversary). Yuma weighed in at 2850grams. We went to introduce Sumire to her new friend today. It is hard to believe Sumire was this tiny only half a year ago!

The Festival and Guam

Halloween isn't really practiced in Japan but Sumire did get to dress up as a polar bear for the school festival. She really enjoyed the festival and she also got a whole bunch of toys at the bazaar (including a pretty cool piano!).











After the festival we all headed to Guam for a few days in the sun. Our hotel left a bit to be desired but everything else was great. We ate at some nice restaurants, went on a city tour, did some shopping, and spent time enjoying the beach and swimming in the warm water.
