Watch us grow!
Daddy and Mommy made a big turkey dinner and Yai brought up a Honeybaked ham.
Janie loved the ham and turkey and also had lots of mashed potato, cranberry sauce, and sweet potato.
We also chatted with Cousin Alice on FaceTime! They had already eaten dinner but we enjoyed their company anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!!
Today was Mirian’s last day with us.
This afternoon when Mommy came home, we all said our goodbyes and everyone got hugs.
It has been wonderful having Mirian and Abby with us these last two years. We are definitely going to miss having her around.
This evening, Janie said, “Mama, KK hungry.” When we asked what she wanted, she said “PIZZA!!” So that’s what we had. She first had some minestrone soup.
Then she had 3 mini slices of pizza with all the toppings. She really was hungry.
It’s the Friday before Thanksgiving so it was time to light up the Embarcadero Center and Hyatt Atrium. After getting home, we hopped on Muni, and had a quick dinner at Osha.
Then we caught the mini Disney on Ice show at the skating rink. Right afterward, they counted down and set off the fireworks. She was looking forward to it but it was really loud. Surprisingly, she didn’t cry or even ask to be held. She just sat there frozen taking it all in. I couldn’t tell if she was in shock or in awe of the show.
After that, we walked to the Hyatt next door to wait for the lights to turn on.
So pretty!! It also snowed inside the atrium! It was like Elsa was there to make it snow.
That same night, Daddy arrived home and met us at the hotel for our reunion.
Janie was also reunited with her pal Cookie Monster, who had been on Daddy’s trip all week.
At the end of the night, we took the train home and Janie loved running free inside the station.
What a fun way to kick-off the holiday season!!
When I asked Janie what she wanted for dinner, she said, “Soup, noodle, and chicken and uh…rice!” So, we went out for Thai food! When the waitress came by to take our order, she said the same exact thing to her. Haha.
And here are our Mommy-and-Me selfies!
Janie climbed into my bed this morning when she woke up. So, we snuggled with Big GG a bit and took some selfies complete with matching sleeping shirts to send to Daddy. Mommy took the top one and Janie took the bottom one.
We had a quiet Sunday afternoon at home today. This kid adores her Mama.
She also enjoys lounging in a basket full of laundry.
This morning as I was on my laptop, Janie climbed behind me on the chair with a brush and clips in hand.
She wanted to brush my hair.
You too can look fabulous at KK’s Salon.
This morning, Janie went out for a little breakfast and grocery shopping. She had her first bagel and ate half of one all by herself.
It took a little while – she started at the store and had some of Mommy’s cucumber.
Then she ate some more while we were at Safeway next door.
This was a real Safeway where she got to ride the shopping cart and help hold some of the items.
This morning, Ankong, Ama, Auntie Jia, and Uncle Jason came over. We took them to Chinatown and Janie was super excited to ride the bus again.
At Washington Bakery, she studied the menu with Ankong.
She also got a quick lesson on salt and pepper. Too bad she was too sleepy to really pay attention.
We managed to keep her awake long enough to eat and she had some porridge, Chinese broccoli, and Singapore noodles.
She also helped sing and blow out the birthday candle with Uncle Jason.
On the ride home, the bus emptied half-way through our ride and Janie got to stretch out for a bit. It was way past her nap time and she insisted on being carried home from the bus stop. Maybe it’s time to invest in an umbrella stroller.
