1:41 PM, June 30, 2008 (or The Princess and the Peas)

This is what Adrienne was doing at 1:41 PM PT, June 30, 2008. In the kitchen. With music playing. With the washer going. With the dryer going. Sleeping through that is definitely her Griffin side showing through.

Everything's Better in Slow Motion (Plus the Latest Stats)

Adrienne likes to dance. And chew bottles. It's in slow motion only because it's funnier that way.

The latest baby stats:

Height: 28 7/8 inches (88th percentile)
Weight: 20 lbs., 1 oz. (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18 1/8 inches (90th percentile)

Morning Photo Shoot, Plus This Puzzle Thing We Got (and Carrots!)

Woke up to a relatively slow Saturday, so we took the time for a impromptu morning photo shoot (every day is a photo shoot, we just happen to have the time to actually post it today). The highlights:

Sitting up in her big-girl pajamas.

All happy and playful--right before crashing for nap time.

Somebody loves the camera. Guess who.

Our serious faces.

Then there was picture day at Adrienne's day care. We didn't purchase mounds of the staged pics, but they did give us this crazy baby puzzle for free. We'll try to keep it intact, so she can truly appreciate it when she in her twenties and will hopefully think its a hipster thing to have a puzzle of yourself as a baby.

Plus, Adrienne is slooowly learning how to put actual food in her mouth (as opposed to everything else that isn't food). Yum, carrots!

Inappropriate Adventures with Baby: At Home!

Now that she's fully mobile Adrienne loves to get into just about everything she shouldn't. We're a tad slow on the uptake with the whole baby-proofing thing and trying to gauge where she likes to go and then trying to block the dangerous stuff. From the looks of it, she likes to take things out of bags and throw them on the ground and play with electrical chords. Fun for kids of all ages!

It's no big deal, it's just a surge protector, so it can't possibly shock a baby, right?

One at a time, they all eventually make their way out of the many bags of DVDs and CDs we have laying around.

Who me? What? How do you play this thing?

Air, Ball

It'll probably break 100 degrees today in Eagle Rock. No wonder Adrienne's two new favorite toys are her (probably totally toxic straight from China via Target) Nemo ball and the air conditioning vent in the dining room.

When Adrienne Attacks! Part Deux (or Look Ma, No Legs!)

The last time Adrienne went on the offensive we only had photographic evidence of her actions. Now, thanks to the use of a certain shark movie's theme song, her newfound mobility has a certain air of dangerousness. Check out that upper body strength, by the way. We call it the wounded solider crawl.

Adrienne's Trip to NH

Adrienne made her first bi-coastal jump to New Hampshire in May to play with her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. (And yes, it's June and we're finally getting around to putting the pictures up--hey, babies keep parents busy.) Here are some highlights, plus a complete slideshow below (featuring Iris and her little Zoey as well).
