Rhianna's number one. Today, May 27th, is her first birthday. One year ago today at 3:15 p.m., she was born at Eiju General Hospital, in Ueno, Tokyo. It's sure hard to believe a year has gone by!! Unfortunately, dad will have to spend most of this week on business trips, so Rhianna's birthday will be celebrated this coming weekend.
Recently, Rhianna has become a big walker. She loves to walk around the house. On top of that, she loves to carry things--especially bags. Check out the video I've posted of her wandering around the mall with her Startbucks bag. She also loves to drag my work bag around the house. My bag is pretty heavy, so she spends most of her time putting all of her energy into pulling...it's pretty funny.
She has been very talkative as usual, and we are pretty sure she says mama and dada, but we're still not exactly sure. She also still loves to wave her hands and smile at pretty anybody she sees on the street. She continues to be Miss Popularity.
Recent foods she likes include tapiocca, mongolian beef barbecue, natto (fermented soy beans), rice, and pasta. She also loves the little cookie/cracker balls that mom gives her to keep her busy at restaurants.
Im including several videos and pictures, including her riding her horse, walking around, eating an apple, and many other things.
Oh! A local festival happened to walk past our apartment the other day too--I'll post a video of that, too.
More soon!
