Enter the Dragon Lady

Adrienne does this face, the face we call The Dragon!! Essentially, it's all of the excitement in her little body coming out of her nose. Recent sightings of the Dragon Lady include:

Dragon Lady on a couch.

Dragon Lady in the kitchen.

Dragon Lady with her mom--and the all-important plastic bottle.

Adrienne Speaks! (Kinda, Sorta, But Not Really)

We understand his may be no more than the infant equivalent of a "talking" dog that says "I love you," but this is showing signs of, at the very least, the beginning of mimicking words. Or something. Or it's just really cute.

Adrienne Parties in the Name of Carrie's Birthday

In honor of Carrie Bell's thirtysomething birthday we did what most thirtysomethings do: went out to dinner and watched silly movies. Adrienne took part in the festivities in her own way.

This is when Adrienne wanted all of Carrie's presents. Too bad for you baby, you'll learn all about birthdays soon enough.

Then that baby almost got eaten by a mysterious squishy cat lurking in the darkness.

But they quickly became friends. And by friends we mean Adrienne pointed at the cat and then timidly touched its tail once or twice.

Adrienne partied so hard she needed an outfit change--into her sweet Old Navy PJs.

This is just a cute picture of her bum. Yes, we're parents.

Rick Digby, April 27, 1943 - July 15, 2008

In loving memory of Adrienne's West Coast Grandpa Rick.

4th of July 2008 Pt. 2: Cousins and Friends

Adrienne played with so many cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends over the 4th of July, it's hard to keep track. But that's what digital cameras and the Internet are for. Adrienne's East Coast adventure continues...

Hanging with her cousins, Billy and Evan. They communicated through the nuances of the word "ba!"

Adrienne and her East Coast Grandparents.

Adrienne is 27% cooler just by being next to Max and Regan.


Amy is about to eat Adrienne's head. "Yum!" says Amy.

Harry and Adrienne share a smile.

One of Adrienne's favorite new things: Chloe the dog.

Adrienne likes boating much more in the arms of her aunt Ellen.

The Floating Car

Adrienne really, really loves her floating car.

How much? This much:

Nancy vs. the Tattoo

Adrienne's Nana hasn't yet met a tattoo she liked. Here's proof.

Here she is enjoying her granddaughter, but out of the corner of her eye Nancy sees something...

...this! It belongs to Marc, who is Iris' baby's daddy. (That's Zoey there, enjoying the tattooed comfort of her dad's arms.)

4th of July 2008 Pt. 1

Yes, it's almost August and we're just now posting pictures from a July 4th/baptism trip to New Hampshire. Hey, babies keep you busy, in case you don't know. The highlights, plus an all-inclusive slideshow at the end.

Who knew churches had jacuzzis! Adrienne goes for the big dip.

Then she had a baptism of a different kind in Beaver Lake in her new car. That's a face of pure excitement.

She played around with her cousin Rory...

...and hung with the girls Maggie and Sammy.

This is Teddy doing his best impersonation of an upset baby.

And, naturally, there's always time for a model-esque pose. Ohhh, that Brett Gardner is dreamy!



The slideshow includes a trip to Power Wok, more of that baby in the water, the plane trip and oh, so much more.

Adrienne Likes Boating?

This one speaks for itself.

Adrienne Goes Swimming

Even before she's walking, Adrienne has found an appreciation for the water. Here are pics of her day out at her cousin's house enjoying the pool. (Shots from her adventures on Beaver Lake are coming.)

Every baby needs some SPF 2000, just ask mom.

Here Adrienne gets up close with Jim's head.

Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to her cousin's house if she didn't terrorize her a little bit.
