Yai arrived this afternoon and she was reflecting on it felt like just yesterday that we had brought Janie home from the hospital.

Now Janie’s standing and cruising and it’s getting harder to keep up with her.  Janie had a good time playing with Yai and showing off all her new tricks.

Unfortunately, she was way too excited that evening and protested when we put her down for the night.

Chinatown

breakfast

Janie came along for our breakfast in Chinatown this morning.  There were lots of kids at the restaurant this morning.  You can see them all staring at her in the background.  She spent a good amount of time staring at them too.

Here is Janie with Mommy on Main Street, USA.

Finding Nemo

Her first ride at Disneyland was the Finding Nemo Submarine Ride.

At first, she had a really good time seeing the fish and bubbles through the window.  Then the ride got really dark and with that coupled with a hungry belly, she cried for the last half of the ride.  Oh well.

Bug's Land

Disneyland

Janie went to Bug’s Land and rode her first twirly ride too.

What a fun day (and night)!  Janie was a trooper out there in the rain and with all the noise and people.  She took her usual naps, ate like a champ, and really seemed to enjoy all the lights and sounds of Disneyland.  Until next time!!!

Feeder Seat

This weekend I took out the feeder seat that we’re going to use for when we start Janie on solids.  She’s sitting up better now so it’s great to have her up in a chair with a tray that can hold her toys.

This morning, we tried it out and it fits perfectly.  Since she enjoyed sitting in it so much, I thought it would be fun to call Yai and Ta.

She looked like she was taking a conference call. Love it!  Maybe we can schedule some future virtual babysitting soon!
