Walking

Hannah started walking regularly yesterday. Several times she walked short distances between chairs or stood up and then took a few steps.



Unfortunately the card on our camera was full so these first moments were not recorded for posterity! This video is from this morning and is the first video of her walking.

Rika says Hannah first walked a few steps unsupported on 7-Jul. But it wasn't really intentional and she found it a bit scary so she didn't keep trying.



But in the last few days Hannah has become confident with her steps. She now uses walking as a quick way to move between 2 places where she wants to stand. And to get around when she has something in her hands.



This is difficult to video because most of the time she doesn't stay standing for very long.






So thats enough practice for now.

Picnic in the Park

It is now high summer and quite hot - above 30 degrees most days. So its good weather to go to the park.

This is Lisa and Ryosuke in the park with Hannah and Rika (Jul-6th)






And these photos are from 12-Jul when we took Hannah and Minimi to Yoyogi park.
