wheeling around

Janie went to the annual BORP wheelchair basketball tournament with Mommy today.

It’s her 3rd time going and it’s fun to see how different she is each time we go.  The photo above is Janie at 3 weeks and 13 months of age.

This year, she was pushing and steering the wheelchair around like a big kid.

She also hung out with her pal Vivian, who was really interested in all of her toys and crayons.  I think they both had a big lesson in sharing this afternoon.

There was a garage sale just outside where Mommy bought a bunch of used toys for a real bargain.

It was so cute watching these two interact with each other.

Janie practiced her Spanish with Tia Patty and Little Henry seemed to recognize it too now that he’s at a Spanish-immersion day care.  Can’t wait to see them talking to each other in Spanish in another year or so.

We also brought the scooter along since we knew there would be a  wide-open blacktop for her to ride in circles to her heart’s content.

It looks like our kid is goofy foot (pushing with the left foot) and she’s mastered balancing on one leg on the scooter.

She also liked sitting in the stands with her snack during the games.  Boy, she’s really not a baby anymore.

IMG_4106Afterward, we went out for a snack at the usual taco bar.  She sat next to Vivian and shared her celery and carrots.

Janie also had two big spoonfuls of tomatillo salsa.  This kid seems to be able to eat just about anything.

messy morning

Janie woke up this morning saying “Mama.  Eat rice.  Eat rice.”  So, she got some rice for breakfast.  When she was all done, she asked for water and this is what it looked like after I came back out from brushing my teeth.

You might not be able to see it but there’s rice all over her shirt too.

Mirian had to go to the doctor this morning so Daddy stayed home for the morning.  She had her usual yogurt and blueberries and he sent me this picture.  Yikes.  I guess these pjs are going in the laundry tonight.

more soup and scratches

Janie and Mommy went to dinner together tonight and of course we had to order Thom Kha for her.  She was so happy when it arrived at the table.

Also, this photo shows all the booboos she’s acquired from her first full week back in SF.  She’s such a bruiser.  I don’t know where that scratch  by her nose came from but it’s in the same spot again!! The last one has barely healed!  She also got a weird bruise on her chin at the library today.  Mirian said she came up to her today pointing to her chin and said “Mimi, owie.”

Toddlers galore!

Janie went to Alameda this afternoon to celebrate Uncle Jimmy’s birthday. They had lots of yummy Hawaiian food!

IMG_3734

It was at their house and she loved sitting in all of Zoe’s kid-size chairs.  Here she is lounging in the kiddie couch eating her asparagus.

She also relaxed in the chair later in the evening.  It looks so comfy.  Mommy and Daddy might have to order one of these for her on Amazon soon.

Janie and Keenan were reunited after their week-long vacation in Hawaii.

Out in the backyard, there was a kid-sized picnic table and BUBBLES!!

Zoe also has a golf set that Janie like pushing around all afternoon.

There were so many toddlers to play with including Noah, the youngest of the bunch, who is only 15 months but kept up really well.

Janie also got to hang out with a doggie that also came to the party.  Happy Girl is enjoying some lemonade outside with a dog.  How much better can this party get?!

At the end of the party after everyone had gone home, we were treated to the Janie and Zoe Show complete with Itsy Bitsy and the ABC Song.
