First Baseball Game

IMG_0242

As you all know, we live right next to the baseball stadium.  Janie has always liked watching baseball on tv and has been asking to “go inside” for a while now.  So, Mama found a really good deal ($8 tickets!!) and we went tonight.  Unfortunately, it was sprinkling this evening but that didn’t stop us!  Janie was so excited!!  It was her first baseball game and Peanut’s too!  Too bad he was all covered up in the carrier and slept through almost all of it.

When we entered the gate, we all received the game’s give-away item of the day.  It was a Giants belt buckle.  Haha.  We didn’t care for it but Janie wanted to hold onto hers.

There was a trolley at the top of the stairs and she couldn’t wait to climb on.

Our seats were on the bleachers and we arrived just before the game started.

Janie watched warm-ups from the lower bleachers and couldn’t take her eyes off the field to take a picture.

We stood for the National Anthem and Janie held both hands over her heart and listened quietly to the children singing.

We went over to the Coke bottle slide to see if Janie was tall enough to ride and she is officially a big kid now at around 37 inches.  Woohoo!  Too bad the slide was closed because it was too wet.  However, it didn’t matter because Janie just wanted to go back to our seats to watch the game.

She also asked for popcorn.  That was all she wanted to eat and was so happy to have a small bag to hold in her grubby little hands.

This is one happy little girl.  She actually liked watching the game and clapped and cheered with the crowd.  Luckily it had stopped sprinkling long enough for us to enjoy part of the game.

Peanut woke up for a bit and got to experience some of the sights and sounds.

Dada also got lots of props in the mens’ restroom as he changed Peanut’s diaper. All the guys walking by were so pumped for him and said, “Wow, how old is he?” and “It’s the little guy’s first baseball game!”

We stayed for about an hour and half before heading home.  It was a fun evening for everyone!

This morning, Janie wanted to hold her brother before heading to school.  She’s so sweet to him and loves to snuggle him.  She often says, “He’s too heavy!”  She also says, “He’s squishing me!”  Yes yes…he’s getting pretty chunky!

The kids also took a couple photos with Yai today.

Janie is such a ham sometimes.

Bath Expressions

IMG_0161

Peanut usually likes his bath…well at least at the beginning.  For some reason, his expression here reminds me of his cousin Toni.

IMG_0163

Then he gradually realizes he’s all done and starts to cry.

IMG_0162

Waaaahhh!!!

IMG_0166

Then once he gets all bundled up again, he’s happy again.

IMG_0168

I think he likes his new panda towel.

Peanut is 6 weeks old today and he’s grown quite a bit this past week.  He feels heftier and heavier with his clothes fitting tighter too.  Here are some highlights from this week:

  • Went on a trip to Napa with the family and endured the crazy heat like a trooper.
  • We’re having to put away some of his 0-3 month clothes this week.
  • Peanut is smiling more but we’re still not sure if it’s gas or a real smile yet.  Yai is the one who makes him smile the most.  Mama is just happy that he was smiling the morning we were taking pictures of him with his friends in Napa.
  • I’ve noticed that he’s kicking his legs reciprocally now.  He’s also been exploring and trying to grab onto his puppy with his hands.

Happy 6 weeks to our squeaky baby hippo!!

Breakfast Antics

We all had breakfast together at the hotel and Janie played with her new Frozen Memory Game that she received as a gift from Auntie Krissy.

When she was done eating her breakfast, she used her cup and straw as the “ball and stick” that Elsa had to hold on coronation day.

Peanut also joined us at the table during our meal.

New School Year

IMG_9632

Janie’s preschool started their new school year today so both Mama and Dada picked her up today.  She was in the middle of a goodbye circle when we arrived.  They were saying goodbye to the older Alligators who were moving on to the Whale class.

IMG_9634

Janie also got a new cubby photo.  Her eyes were closed in the one she had last month so Mama was so happy to see a better photo for this school year.  Her cubby also got moved to the other side of the hallway with the rest of her classmates.

For the new year, we also got some photos of Janie with the quilt.  It was mostly because Mama had just taken Peanut’s picture and she thought it was her turn.

She’s officially 40 months old and has become a big sister AND a preschooler this past month.  Love you, Big Girl!

First Trip to the Zoo

IMG_9486

This afternoon, we went to the zoo once Dada was all done with work.  This was Peanut’s first trip to the zoo!  Too bad he’s only a few weeks old and didn’t really see or do anything.

IMG_9494

Janie gave Yai a tour of the zoo and all the giraffes were out roaming the area.

IMG_9499

We went to see the hippo and he was sort of awake. It was more interesting to climb on the hippo statue.

IMG_9530

A trip to the zoo wouldn’t be complete without a ride on the train.

IMG_9503

Janie rode with Dada and Yai while Mama fed Peanut in the shade.

IMG_9513

We also went to see the bears, which we saw up close at the window.

IMG_9511

Peanut got a glimpse too while he was napping.  Heh heh.

IMG_9497

Janie got a new smushed penny of a giraffe and she was so happy.

IMG_9498

It was a nice addition to the purse she carried.

IMG_9507

Today, Janie was actually in the mood to take pictures so we went from the shortest animal to the tallest.  She’s got some growing to do to be a butterfly.

Before heading home, Janie and Dada took a ride on the carousel.  What a fun day!!
