We had a PT Month potluck today and Peanut was there to celebrate too.
His buddy Max was there too and they gave each other fist bumps.
He was pretty tired by 1:00 so Auntie Karen rocked him to sleep in the “PT hold”
Baby Day at CHO
Mama made plans to have lunch with her friends at work today and we arrived early enough for some snuggle time with Heather, Mama’s manager. He was very chatty with her today.
He also got to hang out with Auntie Karen and Auntie Trang!
At lunch, he got a bit fussy and ended up falling asleep on Mama’s lap while she ate lunch.
After a quick snooze, Peanut went back to the hospital for some playtime with his new buddy Max, who was born only 10 days earlier. We took a side-by-side photo of them and Peanut is looking large and in charge!
They also did some Tummy Time together and did a pretty good job.
Then they eventually got tired together with very similar expressions.
Visiting CHO
Today, we visiting Mama’s work so that all his aunties could meet him. We stopped at Bakesale Betty’s to pick up some yummy cookies for everyone.
Auntie Karen couldn’t wait to hold him. He must have gotten really comfy with her because he quickly had a big poop and blowout up the back. Auntie Karen was also nice to help with changing his diaper and clothes.
There were lots of oos and ahs that afternoon and he slept through most of them.
Redwood City
This afternoon, we drove down to Redwood City to watch Auntie Karen play taiko at the Relay For Life Event. The kids had a great time watching and listening to the drumming.
After the performance, we got the Strider out and Janie followed Sophie around on hers. She’s had a lot more time and practice with hers and zooms around so fast!
Janie tried her best to keep up but this was only her first time outside with her bike.

It’s gonna take at least another month or two before Janie can even come close to keeping up.
Daddy also took the bike for a test ride.
The event was at Sequoia High School and the kids wandered onto the football field for a little running and hijinks. Look at those two go!
They also tried out the tackle sleds.
Vivian gave it a try too!
After all that activity, the kids were ready for snack. Janie shared her carrots and celery with Vivian.
Auntie Karen served up some tasty inari and Spam musubi too. Thanks Auntie!
Later that evening, we went back to Auntie Jia and Uncle Jason’s house. They live only 3 minutes from the high school!
We later went to dinner with them to a Japanese restaurant and Janie ate lots of soup, edamame, chicken, and rice.
Evening with Friends
This evening, Janie went to party in Castro Valley with Mommy and her work friends. During the drive, she talked about Baby Vivian and Baby Henry. When we arrived, she was a little shy at first but they all warmed up to each other fairly quickly. There’s nothing like a good tea party to break the ice!
She had fun hanging out with fellow cheeksters Vivian and Henry.
She sat out on the deck with Vivian while drinking her water.
Later Henry joined in and just wanted to give Janie lots and lots of “besitos” (kisses).
Look at this boy! He’s very persistent.
Janie then noticed the big kids, Kyle and Alani playing down below on the grass.
She went down to join them and she got to kick the soccer ball around for a bit.
She also got a few bites of chocolate cake while sitting next to Alani. What a special treat!
At the end of the night as we were saying our goodbyes, these two got in a quick smooch. It was very sweet but I don’t think Daddy approves of such behaviors.
Sophie’s Party
Today Janie went to Sophie’s 1st Birthday Party. Here’s group photo of her with Theo, Sadie, and Sophie (pictured left to right). It’s going to be so cool to have them all in the same grade together.
Janie also got to see some of her aunties from Mommy’s work. This is Janie and Sophie with Auntie Karen.
Happy Birthday, Sophie!!
Fun Cousins
This evening Janie went to Auntie Karen’s house and had some play time with the rest of her aunties.
She also met her two newest cousins, Alani and Kyle, who had a good time entertaining her. Janie also loved snuggling Alani’s stuffed bunny tonight and she was so nice to give it to her to keep. Thanks so much, Alani! We’ll take good care of your bunny.
Therapy
Janie went to Mommy’s work today and got some informal therapy/playtime with Aunties Sue and Karen. She also helped Auntie MaryAnn with her paperwork.
