Watch us grow!
After her nap, we had lunch at a local Japanese place. Edamame is always fun to pop out of the pods.

Janie had one of Mama’s eel rolls and liked it.
What she really came for was the soup, which she slurped up with gusto.
The noodles are always fun too.

Daddy was making spaghetti tonight so Janie went to her kitchen and made some too!
This kid loves spaghetti – just like her Mama.
On the way home, Janie said she wanted mashed potato. Daddy was gonna be home late, so on our way home from Safeway, we stopped at Tender Greens to pick up dinner.
She got her mashed potato, sauteed mushrooms, steak, and kale salad. Yum!
This evening, we walked to Chipotle for dinner. It’s funny how Janie mashes down her rice before eating it – just like Dada.
She had a good meal and had lots of fluids afterward. She is well on her way to feeling better.
Then we stopped at the Apple Store to talk to the Apple Care guy for Dada’s phone. We waited on the glass bridge to get a big view of downstairs.
On the walk home, we stopped for dessert because Mama needed to rest a little.
Janie got to have some of Mama’s ice cream sandwich and made a big yummy mess.
We had soba and salmon for dinner tonight and Janie got to practice using chopsticks. She uses the poke and scoop method right now but it seems to work.

Janie was so excited to go camping this morning that she kept her backpack on all morning once she was done packing it with her toys. She even kept it on while she ate her cereal with milk.
She kept saying “cereal and milk is yummy!” I don’t know why I hadn’t given it to more often before but it’s gonna go in our regular rotation of breakfasts from now on.
This morning, we went to a cute little French place for brunch. Janie practiced sitting in a regular chair and did a great job staying in the chair and eating her waffle and strawberries.
She also held Dada’s hand on the walk home. Our Janie is back to her old self again. Phew.
For Janie’s birthday dinner, we went out for Thai food.
We ordered Tom Kha, one of her favorite things to eat.
She also had some of Mommy’s Pad Thai. She ate very well this evening.
On the way home, we stopped at the Disney Store just 10 minutes before they closed. We had just enough time for her to give Squirt and Nemo some hugs.
Our last stop was Walgreens because Dada needed more super glue. Check out these cool shades she picked out.
We had noodles for dinner tonight and Janie gave chopsticks a try. Both Mommy and Daddy were amazed that she actually picked up the noodles on her own. Too bad she lost interest after a couple tries. I guess using your fingers is much more efficient.
We went to the zoo again this weekend and Janie just loves the flamingos. She even tried to be one.
The penguins were pretty funny today too. One of them was swimming really fast and then doing jumps out of the water.
The hippo statue is always a hit and today she said she was “driving”.
Our almost-3-year-old was looking pretty sassy today with her hands on her hips.
There were lots of flowers to pick this morning.
At 11:30, we snagged a good spot at the grizzly bear pond.
They threw live trout into the pond and the bears caught them right in front of us.
Janie got a little scared when one of them got up on her hind legs and walked really close to the glass.
Janie took a peacock picture today and I found her first one from 10/6/13. These pictures are 18 months apart. What a difference!
For lunch, we had some pho and Janie gobbled it all up.
Such enthusiasm in this little one!!
Our last stop before heading home was 99 Ranch Market. She really liked seeing all the live seafood.
On our way home, she passed out and slept for a good two hours when we got home. It was a very exciting morning.
