Training time

Yuka and I started trying to "catch" Hannah's poos & pees the other day.  So far she's remarkably good.  I think she's responded about 80% of the time I have put her on the potty.  Remarkable for someone who is barely more than 1 month old!

I am sure that little Hannah would have my head if she knew that I put pictured of her going to the bathroom online!

A blessing or a curse?

The other day I supported Hannah and allowed her to "stand" on her own.  This became her absolute favorite thing to do, and  now it seems to be the only position she favors. The look on her face is telling us that she can do what us big folks can do! With the amount of smiles I get from her in this position it is hard for me to put her down until my arms are so tired I can no longer support her.

Spring Break in Japan

Laundry in Japan

No shortage of diapers on display outside of our apartment. The washing machine seems to be going at all hours of the day!washing machine seems to be going at all hours of the day!

When Hannah has no breast within reach she'll make do with whatever is there. In this case it's the blanket that she's laying on.

It's been awhile...

Hannah and the family out at Nangu Shrine for her 1st temple visit.  This usually takes place on the 32nd day of life for baby girls and the 31st for baby boys.

I didn't get a chance to shoot any of the dolls close up last time, but here are a few.  They are pretty intricate.

Sunday March 2nd

Not much going on in Japan today.  Ferrying back and forth between my apartment and Yuka's parent's house packing things up and moving out.  Not sure where we are going to live come April, but hopefully my company will bring word soon on where my next contract will be.  Until then, I am dismantling everything and moving it to her parent's place bit by bit.  

Here's another picture of little Hannah in her 1st pair of shoes!
