Other than a number of "amazing" events for us as parents, the past couple weeks have been mellow. We had Sarah visit last weekend, which we always enjoy. We will miss her when she leaves Japan in April. Erik's work continues to go well, and we are continually thankful for this job that God placed in our laps. Yoko stays busy with Maika, but she does manage to get in at least one ballet class a week. In addition to ballet she attends 3 or 4 exercises classes and takes Maika for walks regularly. She also meets other new mothers a couple of times a month.
Now for the "amazing" events for us.
Maika started solid foods. We feed her rice cereal mixed with a fruit or vegetable in the morning. She is a good eater and already wants to take control of the spoon.
She is now grabbing her feet. At times she seems to be thinking; "How can I get these things into my mouth?"
Sleeping on her belly. We never encouraged it, and she just did it on her own. Who every thought something so simple could be so incredible : )
It only took 6 months and a few days, but Maika finally fell asleep in Erik's arms, and yes, he was able to lay her down without her waking up.
