Our Snowman

We had the first decent snow in Tokyo for a few years – actually since the day that Emma was born. It was the type that just stuck around and we were able to have a bit of fun with it. So what do you do? Build a Snowman of course.

Rina and Emma were having a ball walking around in the snow and then trying to roll a snowball from the layer that was on the ground. The cold and the wet snow was a really new experience for the both of them – and an experience for Dad in making a snowman in the city.

Happy New Year

1st Birthday

Emma celebrated her 1st birthday las Sunday with a trip to a shrine. We went to Okuni Tama jinja just a short bicycle ride down to Fuchu. Though unfortunately for Emma she wasn’t feeling the best and just slowly walked about.

She had a little bump on her head which looked worse than it was – it was a black and blue line right in the centre of her forehead. One of the bumps and bruises of a 1 yr old. She also had a stomach bug which caused her to not keep down much for long periods of time. It was up and down literally.

She has sure grown quite a lot since that first day and seems to be doing things a lot faster than her big sister did.

Emma keeps everyone smiling and entertained – though her big sister always wants to steal the limelight and keep Emma in the background.

Emma’s walking

It has taken her 10 months from birth, and now Emma is walking about.

She managed to get a start on Rina in that area. Rina began taking her steps as soon as she hit 12 months.

Emma looks to be having more fun now that she can move about on her two feet, but still resorts to all fours if she wants to move about in a rush.
