Watch us grow!

We made an epic journey across town to watch the Blue Angels fly. The eight of us took a train, a very crowded bus, and walked a whole lot to get down to Aquatic Park past Fisherman’s Wharf. Janie did a great job staying close to us and holding on to the stroller and our hands throughout the trip.

We were originally going to head all the way over to Marina Green but the spot we picked on the other side of the hill was just fine for us. We laid down picnic blankets and Peanut and the twins got to stretch out. It was surprising to Mama that he was so happy being flat on the blanket for so long. He just babbled, kicked his legs, and hung out long enough for Mama to eat lunch! His legs got some sun while Mama shaded his face from behind.

Janie used Dada as a chair for part of the time.

Later, he became a cot too.

Peanut and Thomas wore matching outfits today and looked so cute next to each other.

During the latter half of the air show, Peanut fell asleep after getting all bundled up.

Can you find him on the blanket?! Toni and Thomas were also sleeping over by Auntie Jia who is in orange. They were all covered up to shield them from the noise.

The Blue Angels didn’t seem to bother Peanut but it did wake him up toward the end. It was actually Janie that said it was too loud. She hid in the stroller with the sun shade pulled over her for part of the show.

After a long walk home, the babies all got changed and fed at home and then we went out one last time for dinner just down the street.

Janie drew on her Boogie Board while she waited for her soup.

For dinner, she had chicken soup and mashed potatoes. Thomas hung out on Uncle Jason’s lap and looked longingly at uncle’s fried chicken. What a fun but tiring day. We were lucky to have good weather and no mishaps along the way.

While Daddy and Janie went to Costco and Safeway this morning to buy stuff for our dinner party tonight, Peanut went with Mama to the Farmers’ Market to buy bread. He slept during the walk over and looked so comfy.

On the way back, we stopped to watch the sailboats, kayaks, and a navy ship sail under the bay bridge. It was a beautiful morning along The Embarcadero.

On the walk home, Peanut enjoyed sucking on his tasty hand.

Peanut was wide awake at 7:45 after his feeding. He was content just rocking and sucking.

Janie was also awake but still lying in bed. Mama crawled in with her and had some morning time in bed with her and Little Guy (the replacement for GG).

This morning’s Tummy Time was on Mama’s bed and he lasted much longer this morning because he was able to see himself on the front-facing camera on Mama’s phone.

He seemed very entertained by the chubby baby that was looking at him.

What a funny kid. Maybe I should buy him a mirror for these occasions.

It’s great having the trolley pick up in front of our house. It drops us off right in front of the Farmers’ Market!


This morning, we were sitting in front of the coffee store at the Ferry Plaza and Janie said, “Mama, take a picture of us.” Aw…she really does like taking selfies.

For doing such a good job staying close to us through the crowd, Janie got her favorite treat there: vanilla and chocolate swirl (soft serve) with a cone and a spoon.


The fire alarm on our side of the building went off early this morning at 4:30 am. Getting the kids up, bundled, and down 8 flights of stairs was brutal.

The only good thing was that Janie got to see the firetrucks up-close with their lights on.

This morning, we walked Janie to school and then stopped at the post office to buy stamps. Peanut sat comfortably in the carrier with his hands together with such an attentive look on his face.

What a cutie pie!

After two and a half months, Yai said goodbye to us today and went back to Cerritos.

We cannot thank her enough for all the hard work and patience she put into helping our little family survive. 

She helped entertain and care for Janie while Mama was super preggo.

Her cooking was awesome and Dada got to eat the most rice he’s had in a very long time.


She helped prepare Janie for the arrival of Peanut and taught her what it meant to be a big sister.


She also helped take Janie to school in the mornings and made the transition so much easier.

The house is tidier and cleaner because of her and it was so much fun having her around.


We love you and will miss you [——————this much———————–]!!


To celebrate Mama and Uncle Johny’s birthdays, we had dinner at Ad Hoc.

Janie took a nap in the car before dinner and was starving so she got started while we perused the menu.

Peanut also woke up hungry and we were prepared for our chunky monkey!

Afterward, we hung out in the carrier while the family ate dinner. What a good boy!

We all had a delicious meal and because he did such a good job eating her dinner, Janie got a tasty chocolate mousse for dessert.

Peanut didn’t get any dessert but instead hung out on Yai’s lap.

What a fun birthday dinner for everyone!!
