On our drive home, we stopped at the outlets and the girls sat together in the mushroom ride while their dads shopped.
Both kids fell asleep on the drive and this is the first time I’ve gotten a photo of them together in her car.
group photos
Before we all went our separate ways, we got the whole gang together for some photos. Here are the two babies, Peanut and Maya, who are 4 months apart.
Here are the babies with their older sisters who are also the same age!
Surprisingly, Peanut was especially smiley this morning during the photoshoot.
Peanut took a photo with his big buddy, Oliver, who is almost 10 months old.
Janie did a good job supporting her little brother on the couch.
We also managed to get a photo of all five kids together.
Here is our Party of 11 from the weekend. What a fun trip!!
Swinging and Jumping Party
Janie and Peanut went to Zoe’s 3rd birthday party today.
It was at a sensory gym that had lots of swings and a huge trampoline.

They served pizza and fruit and Janie sat next to the birthday girl at the table.
Peanut slept for part of the time and then had 3 poopy diapers including a blow-out with outfit change on the last one.
marathon morning
The SF Marathon ran past our house today and we went over to Pier 28 to watch Uncle Jimmy finish.
Janie was super speedy on her tricycle this morning and did a good job staying out of trouble on the crowded sidewalk.
We watched the runners on the concrete block near the bridge and brought the cow bell too.
We met up with Zoe and Auntie Eleen and the girls took some time to warm up again.
There’s Uncle Jimmy!
We also finished the morning with lunch at Hi-Dive before the Agustins headed home.
Alameda Playdate
Janie had a playdate with Zoe today in Alameda. Janie wanted to bring her backpack and likes to wear it in front so she can easily access her belongings.
We met up at Twirl. It’s a little place that has arts and crafts, lots of toys, and even swing and slide. She painted with leaves and luckily they have smocks available.
She also did some cutting and tried to keep Zoe company while she was having a hard time being away from Auntie Eleen when she left to buy coffee.
The playdough station was fun too. She made lots of cookies and used a spatula to pick them up when they were done “baking”.
There was a grocery store area and kitchen area too.
She loved the shopping cart, car, and stroller. She gave her baby a ride around the store.

The swing was fun and so was the slide.
We had lunch at Tomatino and the girls got crayons and a coloring page.
They set-up GG on the booster seat between them and took turns taking care of him.
We also stopped for ice cream since the girls did a great job eating their lunches.
Janie got watermelon sorbet and Zoe got ice cream cake flavor.
Janie also did a good job soothing Baby Maya when she started to cry in her stroller.
Our last stop was Quickly where they have toy dispensers.

They put the quarters in the machine, turned the knob, and each got a surprise in a plastic egg.
Janie got a Gumba (more Super Mario Bros.) and was so happy to see that she got an angry mushroom. Haha. The cool plastic egg was also fun to play with.
What a fun playdate!! We’ve gotta do this more often, Auntie Eleen!!
Zoe’s House
This afternoon, we went to visit Zoe’s new baby sister. Her name is Maya and Janie really took a liking to her.
She also didn’t get too jealous when Mama was holding her. We did get a couple selfies taken though.
It took a few minutes for the girls to get reacquainted but they were playing together in no time. Janie even shared GG with Zoe. Zoe even had GG sitting next to her all during dinner.
They were so cute together and this was the first time they actually played together. All previous times involved one of the two being too shy. Janie brought her necklaces and shared them with Zoe all evening.
Zoe was extra happy when Janie sat down to play Legos with her. What a fun evening! Maybe the girls can go to the zoo together next time.
Birthday Party for Zoe
Janie went to Zoe’s 2nd birthday party today and had lots of fun. That’s Zoe in the pink. She was super shy that day.
Janie loved playing with the bubbles in the backyard.
She also got to play with the water table. Backyards are so much fun!
She also took Zoe’s new scooter out for a test ride. It works just fine! They live in a cul-de-sac so there was plenty of room to zoom!
We also pulled out her own scooter from the trunk so that the other kids could play too.
This little chair and table was very popular among the todders.
Janie and Athena were battling over it all afternoon.
When it was time for cake, Janie did a great job wearing her birthday hat. She was so amused by all the grown-ups singing one of her favorite songs, “Happy Birthday”.
Toddlers galore!
Janie went to Alameda this afternoon to celebrate Uncle Jimmy’s birthday. They had lots of yummy Hawaiian food!
It was at their house and she loved sitting in all of Zoe’s kid-size chairs. Here she is lounging in the kiddie couch eating her asparagus.
She also relaxed in the chair later in the evening. It looks so comfy. Mommy and Daddy might have to order one of these for her on Amazon soon.
Janie and Keenan were reunited after their week-long vacation in Hawaii.
Out in the backyard, there was a kid-sized picnic table and BUBBLES!!
Zoe also has a golf set that Janie like pushing around all afternoon.
There were so many toddlers to play with including Noah, the youngest of the bunch, who is only 15 months but kept up really well.
Janie also got to hang out with a doggie that also came to the party. Happy Girl is enjoying some lemonade outside with a dog. How much better can this party get?!
At the end of the party after everyone had gone home, we were treated to the Janie and Zoe Show complete with Itsy Bitsy and the ABC Song.
Happy Birthday, Uncle Jimmy!
Alameda Sunday
Janie went to Alameda with Mommy today and had a really fun time.
First stop was brunch at East Ocean for dim sum. She had plenty of jook that morning and Auntie Mai just kept it coming!
She remembered Auntie Mai from Friday night and they had a fun time together.
Silly Auntie!
Here’s Janie and Vivian together in the stroller. I love how Vivian is now wearing Janie’s old outfits.
Next stop was Modern Mouse where she met up with her pal Zoe! They gave each other High Footsie Fives today.
She also tried to give Vivian one too but they were too far from each other.
The South Shore Shopping Center was a perfect place to run free and explore.
Please excuse the extra soggy diaper. Mommy had forgotten to pack a diaper that day. Luckily Vivian wears the same size and they hooked us up with one. Thanks Vivian and Auntie Stephanie!!
We met up at the frog fountain and found Mr. Ducky sleeping on the water.
Zoe came by to play and shared her basketball with Janie.
Janie also gave Auntie Eleen a big hug when it was time to say goodbye.
Auntie Mai plucked a couple flower and put them in Janie’s pigtails. So pretty!
After a little ice cream with Auntie Mai and Auntie Stephanie, we went grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s and Janie passed out right away. What a fun-filled day!!
birthday party fun
Janie went to Baby Isla’s 1st birthday party today and enjoyed playing with all of Rowan’s toys. First was the pop mower. She pushed that thing around until I had to hide it. It’s fun but so loud!
She also played with Zoe for a bit but they both needed some time to warm up to each other.
Next was the Lightning McQueen car. She climbed in and out like a pro and enjoyed playing with the steering wheel and button that makes sounds.
Before we left the party, she discovered the scooter.
She figured out on the first try. Amazing.
