aquarium

November 22, 2015 No Comments

We went to the Cal Academy this morning and arrived right before it opened for members only. Janie brought her spyglass (toilet paper roll) today so she could spy on the fish.

Peanut sat in the stroller today so he could see all the fish.

This was his favorite exhibit. Reminds me of the photo we have of Janie at the same age.

This was Janie at 3 months at the Waikiki Aquarium.

Janie spent extra time at the large tank with Dada. They searched for the fish shown on the guide cards.

Peanut just hung out with Mama and stared at the fish swimming around.

Janie made another smushed penny with Dada and got one with penguins on it.

For lunch, we walked to Pacific Catch just outside of Golden Gate Park.

Janie got a tasty Carrot Ginger soup and they serve fish pretzels and edamame as a snack! Perfect.

And for dessert, we stopped at the ice cream truck and got a vanilla and chocolate swirl soft serve – Janie’s favorite.

On the way home, both kids were asleep in the car. It was a fun and exciting morning for us all.

picnic

Janie had a picnic with her friends this afternoon. Apparently Olaf needed some attention.

She later moved the picnic closer to where Peanut was having Tummy Time so that he could watch. This photo is very reminiscent of an old photo of Mama and Uncle Johnny.

I love watching these two kids together.

Golden Gate Bridge

It’s Yai’s last week with us so we took her across Golden Gate Bridge to get Peanut’s photo taken.

Here’s Janie when she was only 6 weeks old on Yai’s last week with her.

Family Outing

August 8, 2015 No Comments

Just like we did with Janie when she was a week old, we took Peanut out to the Farmer’s Market today.

Big sis rode her scooter while Peanut hung out in the carrier.

He was super cozy and slept the entire time with the exception of his feedings throughout the day.

Janie got a special treat, soft serve, for having such a successful first week of preschool.

She picked out vanilla and chocolate swirl and had it in a cone with a spoon – her favorite.

She felt so special because soft serve is for big kids and not for babies.

After a stop at the playground, we had lunch nearby.

Janie tried to use chopsticks to pick up gyoza but then realized stabbing them with just one stick was more effective.

Dada shielded Peanut’s head from his noodles while he ate lunch.

This was very similar to what he did last time with Janie.

On the way home, Dada carried Peanut in the carrier. He, again, snoozed the whole way home.

Janie also slept in her stroller so that’s why she wasn’t included in this photo.

Here’s the photo we took with Janie when she was the same age.

Can you see his little face inside? So cute.

Father-Son Time

Peanut snoozed next to Dada this afternoon.

Both are sporting a good scowl at the same time.

Hey, look who’s awake now. It must be getting close to Mama’s bedtime. He was always very active at this time of day when he was still cookin’ in Mama’s belly.
