We bought sandwiches at Viron (Shinachan's favorite French bakery that we spoke about in a previous blog) and sat on the steps across from the Yasukuni Shrine, not far from the Emperor's palace. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, it's more common to actually sit under the cherry blossoms and enjoy them with family or coworkers while having a picnic, but there were far too many people crowding under the trees just to walk under them to accomodate us sitting under them, so we improvised by sitting across the street and watching the crowds enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms.
Rhianna has been a very active crawler recently, and is testing her balance limits by trying to stand as much as possible under her own power. Her days of walking are clearly right around the corner. She can now get on and off both the bed and the sofa by herself, and she enjoys sitting on her wooden rocking horse and making it move.
She also enjoys getting her books out and "reading"--particularly Pat the Bunny and Guess How Much I Love You, which she received from her great-grandma and grandparents in the U.S.
I'm including some pictures taken over the past several weeks. We're looking forward to a wonderful Spring as we get closer to Rhianna's first birthday.
More Soon!
