Watch us grow!
This morning, Peanut was really fussy each time I put him down. So, into the carrier he went and that was when he fell asleep for a monster nap. This allowed me to then tackle Janie’s morning needs including doing her hair. She wanted a braid like Elsa from Frozen. This was the best I could do. She loved it.
Sometimes I find it surreal that we are now a family of 4.
This afternoon, we went to the zoo once Dada was all done with work. This was Peanut’s first trip to the zoo! Too bad he’s only a few weeks old and didn’t really see or do anything.
Janie gave Yai a tour of the zoo and all the giraffes were out roaming the area.
We went to see the hippo and he was sort of awake. It was more interesting to climb on the hippo statue.
A trip to the zoo wouldn’t be complete without a ride on the train.
Janie rode with Dada and Yai while Mama fed Peanut in the shade.
We also went to see the bears, which we saw up close at the window.
Peanut got a glimpse too while he was napping. Heh heh.
Janie got a new smushed penny of a giraffe and she was so happy.
It was a nice addition to the purse she carried.
Today, Janie was actually in the mood to take pictures so we went from the shortest animal to the tallest. She’s got some growing to do to be a butterfly.

Before heading home, Janie and Dada took a ride on the carousel. What a fun day!!
This morning, we took Janie to the Cal Academy of Sciences and Yai stayed home with Peanut. Janie had been asking to go to the aquarium for two weeks now so it was time.
We got there early enough for us to have plenty of room to explore the aquarium downstairs without the crowds.
Janie is such a big girl now that she helped herself to the tide pool by pushing up her sleeves and just going for it. When she was done touching everything, she cleaned her hands all on her own too!
As a special souvenir, we gave her 51 cents to get a pressed penny.
She chose the fishie penny – how appropriate.
Mommy didn’t pack any snacks today so we went to the cafe. Janie picked out the crudités with ranch dip and pretty much ate the whole thing.
What a fun morning!
And while we were out, Peanut slept…ah…
This guy was so content in his rocker all bundled up and awake.
That was until he pooped.
It made him pretty upset – probably because it was so stinky.
Meanwhile, big sister went to bed and looked so peaceful.
Eventually, Peanut also fell asleep and looked like such a little gentleman with his hand on his chest.
Now that his belly button and circumcision is all healed, it was time for Peanut to have his first real bath.

Janie was there to watch and help too!
Just like his big sister, he cried for a lot of the bath but then had some moments of being calm in the water.

He also had his hair washed today and it made his hair nice a fluffy afterward.
Our happy boy was back after he was dried and warmed up a bit. So cute.
After Janie goes to school, Peanut still has a full day ahead of him. It started out with some Tummy Time. Instead of trying to lift his head, he decided to suck his hand.
Then after eating, he took a nap on Mama’s lap.
Later in the day, he was wide awake and hung out with Mama in her lap.
He also rode in the carrier and fell asleep.
After another feeding, he passed out again and was in a milk coma. Being 13 days old is hard work.
It was a warm, sunny morning so we walked along The Embarcardero to get home after dropping off Janie at school.
What a nice way to start the day! We got a long walk for Mama and some Vitamin D for baby.
Peanut stayed awake the whole way home.
Janie is so lucky to have so many options for getting to school. Today, we took the train!
WEEEEE!!
This was also Peanut’s first ride on public transportation. We were lucky to have an empty car this morning so we were free from germs. Win!
We’ve been reading a book about construction trucks and passed a construction site on our walk from the train to school. We saw an excavator on the move!
Here’s the entrance to Janie’s preschool. Drop-off went ok today. Janie said, “Bye bye, Mommy” but then had some tears when I actually left.
After he eats, he falls fast asleep. He stayed like this for a good half hour before Big Sister came home.
