A Visit from Tomone

Tomone and Naomi have come to visit for a week or so. Tomo-chan is growing up fast. She can now crawl and can stand if she has something to hold onto. Just like her mother, she will probably start talking early. She seems to be well ahead of what the linguistics books say is average. Also she is growing physically. When she was living here, she was small for her age, but now she is average according to Japanese standards.
She has stuffed toys - characters from Winnie-the-Pooh - that she plays with for long periods of time. She concentrates for surprisingly long periods, so she can now amuse herself if no one wants to play with her.
I could not get her to smile for the pictures - she was interested in what I was doing. However, she seldom cries; hunger, dirty diapers, and pain being about the only cause. Most of the time she smiles.
