Emily is not eating well if I feed her out and about, so I may have to stop making plans that involve meals away from home. Today we had lunch with Nick at a restaurant in his building (it was pouring outside); she was very distracted and only ate half of it. Mind you, I'm pretty sure it is partly due to teething: there are a couple of teeth that look like they are about to break the surface and she is definitely a bit more fractious.
After lunch we went to Akachan Honpo baby store in Gotanda. I took the train part way, but had to walk the final 20 minutes in torrential rain at times. TMG had arranged a shopping expedition with a Japanese speaker attending; very useful as I don't like to ask Nick to use his valuable weekend time going shopping to read labels. I tried twice to get Emily to take a nap while we were there, but she resisted, so I had to cut the visit short and walk the 45 minutes home so that she would sleep in the pushchair. I have been getting progressively-worse aching in my left knee while walking lately (fine while running, strangely), and this time it was very painful after only 10 minutes. It wears off the next day but I suppose I will have to get it checked out as I need to be able to walk frequently for the sake of my sanity and fitness.
Emily's babbling is so entertaining right now. It is 'iggle diggle' most of the time, with 'goodoy' thrown in now and again, plus attempts at crow noises - more 'gore' than 'caw' accompanied by pointing at the sky.
