Watch us grow!
Toni and Thomas came over this morning to play. Uncle Jesse and Toni Jessie were reunited.
Uncle Jason and his Mini-Me were also reunited.
It was fun to see the cousins playing together.
Thomas tried to give Peanut a kiss.
They also had a snack and read a book together with Auntie Jia.
We definitely had a full house today and it was so much fun!
We drove straight to Royal Garden from the airpot for dim sum with all of KK and Peanut’s uncles, aunties, and cousins.
We had been looking forward to this weekend for a very long time and it was so nice to see everyone.
Peanut got right to work on lunch and tried using a fork on his own today.
He had such a good time poking and eating on his own.
Look how popular Auntie Jia was today.
Janie was so happy to see her cousins Alice and Toni.
At one points, all 5 kids were at the fountain together but it was pretty impossible to get them to stay in one place and look at the camera at once.
This was the perfect way to kick off the long weekend and we had a satisfying meal after a long morning of travel.
In the evening, we had another celebration for the birthday boy. It was at Royal Garden, which is where Mama and Dada had their wedding banquet and big sister’s 1st birthday dinner.
It was quite a feast and we finished the night with another cake. And once again, the little guy did NOT want any cake. Seriously!? Who is this kid?!
Janie chose to sit at the other table with Auntie Jia and had her photo taken by one of her aunties at the table.
Thanks to Ankong for the dinner!! Peanut had a great time!
This little boy turned ONE today and we celebrated with a little party with the family.
He wore his birthday shirt and had a fun time with the whole family.
Uncle Kenneth brought water balloons and the girls had a fun time in the front yard.
Meanwhile, the cousins were reunited and played together.
Doesn’t he look so cute in between his two grandfathers?!
His favorite part of the party was lunch. We ordered Thai food and he gobbled up handfuls of noodles and watermelon.

Our baby hippo had a little hippo candle on his cake.
There was singing and lots of crying when it was cake time.
I’m not sure how I got a smile out of him because he cried through the birthday song and didn’t want anything to do with his cake.
Big sister Janie blew out the candle for him and enjoyed her own piece of cake with Auntie Jia.
Happy 1st Birthday, Baby Boy!
Cousins Toni and Thomas turned 1 year old a couple days ago. Today, they had their birthday party and Ankong and Ama’s house. It was so fun to see the cousins reunited again.
It was also nice to see the whole family together too.
Janie spent most of the day in the backyard playing with the fish pond. When Cousin Alice came over, she joined her in the fun.
Every Thursday, the kids bring something that starts with the letter of the week to share with the class. This week is the letter U and Janie brought in photos of her UNCLES!
This is the photo that was featured in the daily update. So sweet.
This evening, Uncle Jason and Auntie Jia will be moving down to Southern California. Before the movers arrived, we met up for one last meal together.
We will miss you all so much but so happy that you’ll be closer to the grandparents!! See you on FaceTime!!
There was a pizza party for Auntie Jia and Uncle Jason this evening in San Carlos.
Janie loved the pizza and ate her own salad too.
We had to leave early because Peanut was really fussy but we’re so glad we could be there. On our drive home, Janie said, “I’m gonna miss Auntie Jia and Toni. And Uncle Jason and Thomas too.”
We went to Roy’s for dinner tonight.
We had a table for 8 and the babies took turns sitting in the highchair.
There was some extra love for Toni this evening while Auntie Jia was eating.
Janie got her very own meal that resembled a mini version of Auntie Jia’s short rib.
Her meal also came with an ice cream dessert with sprinkles!! Lucky girl!
During dessert, Peanut was sitting in Mama’s lap and fell asleep sitting upright. I guess he got the sleeping gene from Mama.
This evening, Peanut was a little fussier than usual. He didn’t nap for very long today. Uncle Jason hung out with him during dinner and helped keep him happy.
Looked like rubbing his belly helped.
He also tried the booty shaking technique, which seemed to just confuse him.
Meanwhile, Janie was having fun with the paper cranes that Auntie Brittany was passing along to her on the lazy susan.
