Watch us grow!
Janie came along for our breakfast in Chinatown this morning. There were lots of kids at the restaurant this morning. You can see them all staring at her in the background. She spent a good amount of time staring at them too.
There was a lot going on outside in celebration of the upcoming Chinese New Year. She had lots to see and hear that morning.
Janie came along with us on our fancy steak dinner tonight. She was such a little lady sitting in her highchair. It’s so cute how she’s still so small that she can barely see what’s on the table.
She sat quietly and ate her peas, carrots, and cheese while the grown-ups had their dinner too.
Our reservation was actually pretty late and she hung in there as long as she could. By the end of our meal, her eyes were glazed over and she was ready for bed.
Janie loved Sophie’s blocks so we went to Toys R Us today to get her a set.
They’re even more fun when you’re standing at the couch.
Apparently, they’re very tasty too.
She can also balance them on her head. Neato!
It’s time for bed!
Uh oh…she doesn’t look tired at all.
I’d better take those toys out now.
Janie woke up just in time to wish us Happy New Year.
And then she fell asleep. 🙂
Kumquat likes to drink ice water from a glass but it takes a little getting used to.
On Friday, Janie visited Mommy and Daddy’s alma mater, UCLA, with Mommy’s old college roommates.
She took photos in front of the bruin statue with her new buddies Jonah, Mia, and Christian. It’s like the new generation of Bruins.
Here’s Janie on Bruin Walk.
After a quick stop at the UCLA Store to pick up her first UCLA shirt and stuffed bruin, we visited Royce Hall for a mini photo session.
Thanks to Sandy’s husband, Carl, for taking some photos for us!
Here’s Janie with her new buddy, Micah, who was born only 3 weeks before her.
What a fun afternoon!
We celebrated Janie’s First Christmas this week and she got lots of goodies from her friends and family.
On Christmas Eve morning, she ripped into a couple presents and got a cool case for her iPod Touch, a soothing giraffe, and lots of cute clothes.
On Christmas Day, Janie sat at the dinner table with everyone and had her puffs and green beans too.
She got lots more presents on Christmas Day.
She wasn’t feeling very well that day but still opened presents with Mommy before heading to bed.
On Christmas Eve, we all took Janie to Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure for the first time.
Here is Janie with Mommy on Main Street, USA.
Her first ride at Disneyland was the Finding Nemo Submarine Ride.
At first, she had a really good time seeing the fish and bubbles through the window. Then the ride got really dark and with that coupled with a hungry belly, she cried for the last half of the ride. Oh well.
Janie went to Bug’s Land and rode her first twirly ride too.
Weeeeee!
Later that day, she woke up from her nap just in time for the Christmas Parade.
She really enjoyed the music, dancing, and lights.
Her favorite ride at Disneyland was It’s a Small World.
There was so much to see and hear!
What a fun day (and night)! Janie was a trooper out there in the rain and with all the noise and people. She took her usual naps, ate like a champ, and really seemed to enjoy all the lights and sounds of Disneyland. Until next time!!!
Janie helped pick out her first Christmas Tree tonight. She liked touching the soft branches and enjoyed all the lights strung above the lot.
Here is her imitation of the short and stout tree behind her.
This is the tree she picked out.
