Koa loves Janie’s puffs and she tried to share them with him tonight. Unfortunately, it was so hidden in her palm that Koa couldn’t get to it and then Janie decided to just eat it herself. Poor Dog.

Birthday Party
Janie went to Sadie and Theo’s house today for their One Year Birthday Party. It was nearly impossible to get them to sit next to each other long enough for a photo. This was the best I could do. And yes, Janie is 5 months younger but just about the same size. In fact, she already weighs more than Sadie who is the bigger of the two. Heh heh.
Grandpa & Me
Janie wore her “Grandpa & Me” shirt today since we were celebrating Ankong’s birthday tonight.
We had a mango cake after dinner and Ankong let her touch the fruit on the cake.
Happy Early Birthday, Ankong!
First Thanksgiving
Janie started solids just in time for her first Thanksgiving and joined the grown-ups at the table. Ankong helped feed her and she enjoyed her very own turkey and sweet potato.
Ama and Ankong also gave her a new toy that moves and makes music every time you touch it. It’ll be perfect for play time on the floor.
Uncle Victor and Auntie Susie also came over for dinner and hung out with her on the floor.
Janie is so loved and we have so much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!
And thank you to Auntie Eleen and Uncle Jimmy for the pretty dress!
We voted.
The whole family went to the polling place to turn in our ballots.
Storytime
Janie had been going to Songs and Storytime every Thursday morning with Mirian. It’s so popular that I actually have to call every Friday at 1 to reserve a spot for them each week. Today was a Halloween one and everyone was encouraged to dress up. Our little elephant made one last appearance and Mirian sent me these photos and said she had a good time.
Happy Giants Day!
The San Francisco Giants won the World Series on Sunday and today they held their big ticker-tape parade. While I was at work, Janie went to the parade with Mirian but they missed most of the good stuff. Luckily, while they were at the park in the afternoon, they got a front row view of the players returning to the ballpark on the team buses! Mirian’s husband had the day off and brought her daughter Karla to the neighborhood and they had a little playdate too.
Here’s Janie and Koa in front of AT&T Park this evening on our walk. This win is kinda special to us this year since she was born when the season started and they went all the way and won! It looks like Janie was their good luck charm. 😉
Little Totoro
I bought this hoodie for Janie a while back and it’s a little big but couldn’t resist taking it out for her to wear now.
It’s supposed to be an owl but I can’t help thinking that it makes her look like Totoro.
These are the two pumpkins that we’ve collected this past month and she really likes to play with them.
Happy Halloween!
Elephants!!
This morning we went to an early morning Halloween party in Burlingame.
Janie was dressed up as an elephant and so was Sophie!!!
It was a total coincidence and they looked so adorable next to each other.
