Mirian likes to report when Peanut is having a particularly happy day. Today was one of them.
little mover
This little boy is full of personality and has some new moves lately. He likes to flirt by tilting his head during snack time.
He’s also pulling to stand out at the playground.
He may be cruising soon at this rate.
Birthday Eve Baseball Evening
On the evening before Janie’s 4th birthday, we took her to a baseball game. She was so excited and couldn’t wait to go.
She was too excited to eat anything at home so we ended up going a little early and she shared a big slice of pizza with Dada.
It was a beautiful evening in SF.
In between innings, she went on the Coke bottle slide. She’s so close to being tall enough for the biggest/tallest slide.
We saved a few bucks by bringing our own popcorn from home and she was perfectly happy with it.

What a fun evening as a family of four. Peanut even stayed up a little later than usual to enjoy the sights and sounds.
Sunny Zoo Day
We had a warm Sunday and it was perfect for going to the zoo.
Peanut enjoyed watching the cars zoom by as we waited for our lunch at the cafe across from the zoo.
We brought our lunch into the park and scored a table with an umbrella.
Peanut was very entertained by his water cup and he drank a whole bunch of water on this hot day.

He also managed to turn himself around to straddle the highchair. Silly boy.
Janie wanted to see the kangaroos today so that was where we went.
She also insists on seeing the flamingos each time we visit the zoo.
On our way home, we stopped at Costco to buy milk and chicken. It was nice place to cool off after a hot day outside.

Caught a photo of these two monkeys while waiting for the train this evening.

Peanut is 36 weeks old today and so much has happened. We didn’t get a photo with Ducky last Friday so here’s a recap of the past two weeks:
- He’s crawling – well, sorta!!! It started on Saturday (4/2) in Cerritos when he took about 4 steps forward on his hands and knees. Then he sort of lost it the rest of this past week. Not sure what’s happened but he’s been scooting backwards again. Hm…
- Trip to Cerritos. We had a tax appointment last Sunday (4/3) so we flew down for a long weekend. This was his 3rd trip on a plane and suddenly 90 minutes feels like nothing compared to 5 hours to Hawaii! We even scored a seat for him in both directions. Awesome.
- Eating monster: Peanut eats everything we put in front of him and manages all kinds of textures. New foods include cheese, bread, Chinese long beans, pieces of shredded chicken, steamed carrots.
- Teeth!! He has grown 2 more teeth! The first two (front lower) appeared on the weekend of 3/19 and then two more (front uppers) appeared a week later on 3/26.
- Sleep has been tough still but he got in a couple of longer stretches at night this past week. However, sleeping in Cerritos was a little harder for him than we expected.
- Peanut broke out in a rash this past week all over his legs and face. It may have been because of the antibiotics that Mama had to take. Luckily his skin has already started healing.
- Wiggling side to side. This guy is so funny and now he does this “happy dance” when he’s eating. He’ll also imitate you if you do it first.
It’s become quite a challenge getting this photo taken lately and now it’s even harder now that he’s figured out how to stay on all fours for longer.
There he goes! He just won’t sit in one place anymore!
Finally, I got him to sit still but he had to be chewing on this wooden hammer. Ridiculous.
Happy 36 weeks, Little Monster!!
Tofu Monster
This boy LOVES his tofu. He was so happy eating it and then would get upset when there wasn’t anymore on the tray.
He definitely got a bath after this dinner. It was everywhere.
231 days
Peanut is 33 weeks old today and it’s getting increasingly harder to get a photo of him SITTING next to Ducky.
Highlights from this past week:
- Peanut started to sleep better this week with longer stretches most of the week. Unfortunately, he’s still an early riser even with the time change. He just gets up at 5am instead of 4am. Hooray.
- The most exciting part of this past week was our trip to Tahoe. He got to see, touch, and even taste snow. He had a great time but didn’t like being bundled up with so many layers.
- New foods: oatmeal, ribs, pulled pork, brisket, blueberries.
- He’s also become a little more regular now that we’ve added prunes and pears to his daily diet.
- A new expression he has this week is the cute head tilt. He’s also craning his neck around things to get a better look. He especially does this to watch his sister moving around the room.
- His fine motor skills are coming along nicely. He picks up puffs very easily now and started banging toys together when he plays.
- We don’t have a crawler yet but he’s getting so close! I see him on all fours and rocking back and forth a lot more often now. He’s also pulling up to his knees when he has a steady surface nearby. We are going to be in big trouble when he figures out the whole crawling thing.
Happy 33 weeks, Peanut! You are such a funny little guy with so much personality.
head tilt
This evening as he was eating prunes, he was giving Mama a cute little head tilt. After a while it became more of a cute little whole-body tilt.
