May 2010

On the verge of turning 1 year old, Mio seems to be growing and learning at a more rapid pace. She's understanding more words (like itadakimase, kiss, arigatou, and bye bye), and she is getting more and more adventurous.

At her birthday party, she even took her first steps, much to the enjoyment of everyone watching.

As I type this, she is about to wake up on her first birthday. Happy Birthday, Mio! Thank you for the best year of our lives!
