Little Mover

No Comments

Boy oh boy! Peanut is quite a mover. Mama caught some of the action this evening.

He loves the ambulance/medical kit that Ama gave to Janie a few years ago. We are glad to see that it’s gained a second life with this guy.

And look how strong and stable he has gotten! He loves to carry his toys around the house now.

Here is Peanut getting up off the floor on his own. He only recently started doing this more consistently without falling down.

Modern Mouse Party

Auntie Eleen’s store is 7 years old and we went to their celebration this evening. Janie made a mouse at the craft table and then picked out a shirt for herself.

She also did some coloring at another table.

Meanwhile, this guy was wandering between the two stores and the walkway in between. He’s loving his new ability to get around on his feet.

I bet he’s thinking “this walking stuff is great!!”

Dolores Park

As a special treat for being so patient at the doctor’s office, we took Janie to Dolores Park to play at their playground.

She was really into climbing today and scaled the big hill along the parallel bars first and then under the hoops.

It was pretty steep but she made it all the way to the top on her own.

Meanwhile, Peanut explored the bottom of the playground.

Janie also climbed up the giant rope web on her own. Made Mama pretty nervous just watching her.

Peanut gave it a try too but didn’t get too far.

Before heading home, Janie found this really tall slide and climbed up the steep part of the hill at the top.

She was a little worried about going down but she did it and put her hands up toward the last half to go faster. On the second try (we didn’t get it on video), she put her hands up the whole time and went even faster.

After settling in at home, we also went to Safeway to buy some milk and other essentials. We had a very busy day and the kids really hung in there without any major meltdowns.

Walking!!

Peanut has been taking more and more steps each day. This weekend, he walked across the room at home. Unfortunately, Mama couldn’t catch it on video. It wasn’t until we were waiting for Dada to pay for our groceries at Costco that we finally got to record this big milestone.

Exploratorium

After soccer, we walked down The Embarcadero to pick up some fruit from the Farmer’s Market and then visited The Exploratorium. Dada’s company has a membership. Score!

Outside, there were some cool exhibits including this bike wheel that makes the rope spin off the ground.

The light exhibits were pretty cool. Here is Peanut under all the prism lights. We now have a rainbow baby!

The floating beach ball was fun too.

Peanut got to explore some of the areas and was surprisingly able to reach some of the exhibits. He was also very appreciative of all the wooden stools everywhere and used them to get from place to place.

Now that Janie is a bit older, this museum is starting to become a little more interesting to her. She was able to wave this wand back and forth to make a movie appear.

Daddy also got this slinky to walk on a treadmill. Neato!!
