25 September 08

We were invited to our first birthday party, by Momo. She was having a few mums and babies over to her apartment in Shibaura for Michele's 1st birthday. He seemed overwhelmed by all the people in their modest home, and took some time to stop being clingy and enjoy himself. He had lots of toys for Emily to try out; she liked the books that made animal sounds, and he had a ride-on toy with lots of buttons and bells that she enjoyed too.

I was glad that the other babies were older than her, mainly around a year old, as she really does watch them and take it all in. The last couple of days she has been practising how to sit back down from standing, and it is impossible to get her to sit for any length of time as she just wants to pull herself up on anything to hand. Unfortunately there aren't many things in our apartment that are stable as most things slide on the hard floor. Bathtime is difficult as she won't sit in the water long enough to be washed properly. Still no sign of any desire to walk though.
