Elmooooooooo!

Adrienne went to this Sesame Street interactive thingy at Hollywood & Highland. It's all about teaching kids about the body and stuff, but she was in it for one man and one man only: Elmo. She went twice. Once with her baby pal Rowan and then again with mom and pops. The highlights:

Somebody loved going down a (nice, safe) slide. This is Adrienne at the top of it before taking the leap. She was all smiles as she went on it over and over and over and over again.

Rowan also dug it. (Plus, it was padded and safe enough for his mom to enjoy it.)

There was even a little mock grocery store where Adrienne could engage in some dramatic play--which, we hear, is all the rage with 16-month-olds.

This is the moment of truth! On the first day Adrienne wouldn't even get close to the poor teenager in an Elmo outfit. The second time, we got this close and captured a fleeting smile (then it was all tears and running away).

Hey, where'd he go?

Adrienne's New Zoo Revue

Adrienne went into the wilds of the Los Angeles Zoo with her parents and Jeremy and Carrie for a combo Valentine's Day+Jeremy's birthday+JR's birthday outing. Nothing too gross or weird to speak of, just a whole lotta walking and one baby trying to get a good view at all of these strange beasts. Some highlights:

Playing with perspectives. Jeremy tries to lay one on a camel. We won't speak of what Carrie did to a baboon's butt.

A baby and her monkey friends.

Everything is better upside down--even the zoo.

Taking a break from all of that walking.

Cracker break.

The requisite group shot. Ironically, next to a fake animal.

Babies Have a Lot on Their Minds

Adrienne and her cousin Samantha ponder life's big questions. (Or they just saw something shiny.)
