Maine, Summer 2016

I think we picked the perfect timing for visiting my husband’s family this summer, avoiding the heat wave in Tokyo while getting only a couple of cloudy/rainy days.

Our daughter loves playing in water – not just pools but lake and ocean too. She also had fun playing the piano, sitting in a car seat (for most of the time!), pretending to drive a fire truck at Portland Children’s Museum 🙂

It’s been a while since I posted a monthly roundup of photos on this blog. I just came back from our first overseas family trip to Maine with my husband and newborn daughter, and here are some snapshots from that time.

I wasn’t sure if taking a 4-month old baby on a long trip would be a good idea, but I’m glad we decided to go. She handled long flights very well, and she seems to have grown up quite a bit in the past 10 days. She rolled over for the first time, can hold a toy and move it to her mouth, and smiles to people (flight attendants loved that!). I’m amazed by this little girl’s ability to adapt to a new environment.

I hope our 2015 will be filled with joy and pleasant surprises like this trip.

Happy new year!
