Happy New Year

I just turned one year old on 12/29!

We had a great time at Grand-ma's celebrating Christmas and my first birthday.

Happy new year everyone!

What to wear...?

"Mom, can I wear this for Christmas?" Aya is already picking out her outfit for Christmas day. We wish her Auntie Christina could see her in the beautiful dress she sent her!

She also plans to stay nice and warm in the poncho her grand father sent her from Japan!

I'm so cool!

Thanksgiving in Novato

Aya got all dressed up to visit her grand-ma and Auntie Emi for Thanksgiving.
She had her first turkey dinner that her grand-ma made and loved it all! During our visit we went to the park to play, visited the neighbor's horses and lama, and spent an afternoon in Pt. Reyes.

Tonight's dessert

Aya is snacking on a slice of persimmon her auntie Emi brought us last night. She prefers finger foods over pureed fruit now.

Clean Baby

Aya just got out of the bath and is getting ready for bed.

(Below) She now has her own toothbrush and is brushing her teeth with her dad.

Tourist for a day

At Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf. Aya got to see the sea lions, visit the Mechanical Museum (www.museemechanique.org) and enjoy the view of Alcatraz.
