sick

Janie has a runny nose and cough today.  This was the photo and text I received from Mirian this afternoon:

“No happy.  But she is fine.”

Luckily, she still has an appetite.  She had no problems eating a bowl of Tom Kha Soup and some broccoli tonight.

Train to Burlingame

IMG_2117

This afternoon, we rode Caltrain down to Burlingame for dinner with Auntie and Uncle.  On our way down, we were joined by lots of Giants fans leaving the game that had just finished.  Luckily, we got to the station in time to board the train but there weren’t any seats.  So we stayed in the bike car and sat on the floor.

Janie did a good job staying in one place and even got to stand up for a bit to look out the window.

When we arrived, uncle and auntie were waiting for us and Janie was happy to see them.

For dinner, we had pizza and Janie got some meatballs, pizza, and Daddy’s olives.

When she was done eating, she made some pretend calls to Auntie Jia across the table.

At the toy shop across the street, Janie played with a train set.

She also said “hello” to a certain spotted friend there.

We didn’t bring a stroller this evening and Janie did a good job holding a grown-up’s hand outside.

She also liked having her hands in her pockets the whole time.

Before heading back to the train station, we stopped for coffee and Janie read books with Uncle Jason.

At the train station, Janie sat on the bench and waited patiently for the train to arrive.

IMG_2162

We had about 5 more minutes to spare so we got a quick family photo.

IMG_2163

Here comes the train!  It’s right on time!

On the ride home, she fell asleep sitting between Mommy and Daddy on the train.

morning outing

IMG_2071

Mommy ran this morning and ended up at the Ferry Building for breakfast.  Janie got to run free while it wasn’t crowded yet.

IMG_2076

The best part of being out early is that you get first dibs on the swings!!

IMG_2089

Yippee!!!

IMG_2091

When it was snack time, she ate a whole banana all by herself.  Impressive.

IMG_2101

She also had fresh green peas straight from the pod.

IMG_2095

On our way home, the balloon man gave her a flower balloon.  Wow!

IMG_2104

What a pretty morning!

Tuesday

IMG_2017

The Giants played their first home game today.  Janie got a glimpse of the crowd on our way to Safeway.  Lots of orange and black out there!

IMG_2019

Then while Daddy was on a conference call, Janie and Mommy hid in the bedroom with the iPad.

Happy Tuesday!!

red heels

IMG_1934

One of Janie’s favorite things to do at home is trying on Mommy and Daddy’s shoes.  This evening, she found an old pair of Mommy’s red heels and was able to walk around in them.

I guess lasagna tastes better when you’re wearing fancy shoes.

We love Saturdays!

IMG_1864

Saturday mornings are fun – especially when you can go to the Farmer’s Market! Janie enjoyed some classical music by the bay while Mommy was picking up food.

IMG_1866

Janie ate up all of Daddy’s capers.

Before lunch, we took her to the playground for some sliding and swinging.

IMG_1881

Here she is having lunch later that morning.

IMG_1897

She also got some of Mommy and Daddy’s ice cream on the way home.

IMG_1907

She fell asleep on our way home so Mommy and Daddy stopped for some time quiet time in the sun.

IMG_1915

After a good hour-and-a-half nap, she woke up refreshed.

IMG_1910

IMG_1922

Janie got a ride on Daddy’s shoulders for most of the way. Weeeeee!

IMG_1925

She also got to run around the park for a bit and practiced jumping off the cement blocks.

Mexican Dinner

20140404-132244.jpg

Dada said he would be home late so Janie went out for dinner with Mommy. She loved the beans and even said “black beans” all on her own.

20140404-132325.jpgWe also watched a little basketball while we were there.

20140404-132507.jpgHere she is hamming-it-up for the camera.

20140404-132623.jpgSilly girl also thought it was fun to plug her ears.

20140404-132719.jpgDada arrived eventually and we hung out a bit longer so he could get a bite to eat too.

Mama!!

Early this morning at 2am, Janie woke up and called out “Mama!”  She did it a couple times and then went back to sleep.  A few minutes later, she woke up crying and screaming “MAMA!”  I thought it would stop after a couple minutes but it kept going.  All I heard for the next hour was “Mama!  Mama!  Mamaaaaaaa!”  Once in a while it would be a calm “Mama” and sometimes “Mama, GG, Mama, up, up”.  Eventually, we gave in and I ended up having her sleep on the sofa with me.

IMG_1747

She finally fell asleep at about 3:30 am and this is how I found her this morning.

IMG_1744

When Mirian arrived at 8:15am, she was still sleeping.  In fact, she slept until 9am! She woke up with rosy cheeks, a puffy face, and a smile.

IMG_1746

Here she is having her morning milk.  I sure hope tonight is better.
