Girl Time

20121204-150550.jpg

From the first day she came home, I’ve been enjoying the times when Janie and I can just hang out in the couch and play.

Makes my heart melt.

How do I look?

When I was pregnant and found out we were having a girl, I imagined a little cutie with alien antennae pigtails.  I bought a set of hair ties on Friday and couldn’t resist giving it a try.  Janie has some pretty long hair now and it worked!  She was a good sport and I thought she was pretty darn cute.

Tomales Bay

Janie took a day trip to Tomales Bay Oyster Co., which is about an hour-and-a-half drive north of SF.  She rode in the backseat with Koa and took some pretty good naps there and back.

At the oyster farm, she hung out with her toys and ate some plums while the grown ups shucked and ate oysters prepared 3 different ways.  She’ll get to try Oysters Rockefeller one day.

It was nice and sunny outside and she really enjoyed looking at the water shimmering in the sunlight. Each time I took her out there, she would squeal and kick her legs.

She also got to sit on the beach for a bit to feel the gravel in her hands.  What fun!
