Outsitting!!! Rhianna makes her debut

It's getting noticeably colder here in Tokyo recently. We actually had to get our warm coats out and get in the mood for Christmas. Ginza and much of the area near where we live in Nihonbashi is already clearly getting decorated for Christmas, and it's pretty to see the lights and decorations when driving through the area.

Rhianna has made a major development over the past few days, and that is... sitting up by herself! She has really been trying to become more mobile over the past few weeks (see Rhianna's prison break video), but over the past few days she has actually become able to sit on her own without any support. Her balance is still a bit shaky, but she seems to like having the higher perspective from which to drop things for us to pick up, have them handed back to her, only to drop them again. She can pick up things for herself, but she likes them handed to her.

I'm including a bunch of pictures and a short movie of her in the act of sitting. Unfortunately, Rhianna has developed a cold over the past few days, but she seems to be feeling better, and hopefully by tomorrow she'll be back to normal (and we won't catch her cold!).

More soon!
