Just after the birth.
She was a big baby over 4100grams. |
| The first nursing. |

Brother Akira, (4 years old) is quite interested in his new sister. He
knew this baby came from Mom's round belly. Looking at his grandmother's
fat belly, he asked. "Grandma, when is Your baby coming?"
I answered, "...........w...w....when the baby is ready."
I am glad he did not ask when the baby will be ready.

In December, family went to the Shrine to have a ceremony. Here, the baby
was purified and her health and happiness was prayed by the priest.
A beautiful Kimono was prepared by Mom's parents, and of course the baby
does not wear it now. We use this Kimono for covering.
Later, when she celebrates her 3 years we let her wear this.
At the shrine, the baby kept sleeping in my bosom. |
| Konoha's big brother Asahi, (7 years old) is a knight always guarding the
Princess. |
 |
 |
Konoha is three months now. |
On February 4, we went to buy Ohinasama (Hina dolls) for Konoha. We ordered
the set back of us.
We decorate the dolls on the Doll's Festival ,
March 3rd.
This is the custom when we have a new girl baby.
It measn that the family wishes the girl
every happiness and prosperity for her whole life.
Konoha is now 5 kg, and quite heavy for my old shoulders. It was a very
happy day for me. |
