Care Bear Love

March 17, 2014 No Comments

This Care Bear is still alive and well! It looks so small now that Janie has grown so much since the time Auntie Dot gave it to her.

This was back in July of 2012 when she was almost 3 months old.

almost time for bed

Last night, Janie didn’t wake up screaming and slept 10 whole hours! I heard her wake up for a couple seconds at midnight but it was nothing.

We’ve been trying to get to bed earlier now with the time change and this routine seems to work.

She gets about 10 minutes of Baby Einstein Lullaby and hangs out with Mommy on the couch with the lights dimmed.

She snuggles one or two of her friends and tonight it was her otter and doggie. She knows how to make the kissing sound now and you can hear it in this video.

Here she is making her two friends kiss each other.

This routine seemed to work last night and it worked again tonight. She was in bed by 8:30 and asleep in about 2-3 minutes. Good Night, Kiddo. Hopefully you’ll have another full night’s sleep again.

Birthday Brunch

February 23, 2014 No Comments

It’s Auntie Joy’s birthday today so we took a walk down to a restaurant by the water to celebrate. It was super sunny outside so Janie got to wear shorts and her sassy sunglasses.

There was a bit of a wait so she had her milk on the deck with the girls.

She made sure to “cheers” Auntie on her birthday.

Here she is decorating one of the menus. Good thing it’s a daily menu because there was crayon all over it once she was finished with it.

For lunch, she had fish and chips and actually liked the malt vinegar. That’s Mommy’s little girl!

She also got a hold of Mommy’s phone and took a pretty good picture of her family. Not bad!!!

When we got home, we had to say goodbye to Uncle Johnny, Auntie Joy, and Alice. Janie gave her cousin a big kiss. So sweet.

River Otter

February 22, 2014 1 Comment

After a good nap, we took Janie and Alice to the Aquarium of the Bay.

The main attraction was the river otter exhibit. They were all napping in the den but luckily one came out to greet us. Janie kept calling it a “go-go” (dog) and there was no correcting it today.

At the exit, we had to walk through the gift shop and Janie spotted the otter toy on display and was in love.

It was so soft and huggable that she just couldn’t get enough. Yai caved and bought her her very own otter friend.

Alice got a smaller version of one too.

Here she is entertaining Alice with Mr. Otter. I tried to catch this on video but my trigger finger messed up. Luckily I caught a photo of Alice laughing at Janie’s antics.
