Adrienne Goes To Spring Training

Adrienne took her first big road trip all the way to Arizona to catch a spring training baseball game. We stayed with old friends Trent, Elizabeth and Trevor, who are smart enough Arizonians to have a pool.

We "forgot" to take pictures of Adrienne's first quad-puke in her mom's car (and all over herself) and the 10 Freeway pitstop cities like Quartzsite. These pictures are way better.

Uh, did we mention it was totally hot at the game?

Both Trent and Trevor caught balls.

We sat in the field seats where babies could (eventually) run free (once enough people left).

On a totally perfect and lazy Sunday, we all headed to a park near in our friends' neighborhood.

Adrienne loved it.

Trent even got into the action.

Adrienne found a little hideaway playhouse and never wanted to leave it.

Never ever.

On our way out of town, we caught the Dodgers' batting practice at their fancy, new complex. The newness of the place didn't have an effect on Manny's personality as he and his big pants walked right past autograph seekers (who were at batting practice...on a Monday morning).

Luckily, Joe Torre was a sport and stopped for a pic, allowing us to snap Adrienne ignoring yet another famous person.

Some Serious Cuteness

There's some serious cuteness going on here during Adrienne's recent trip to Palm Springs to hang with some traveling East Coast family members. Seen chilling here with mom and cousin Maggie.

Baby Dating Games

Adrienne is captivating the boys with her cuteness already.

Oh, baby...

...we're in trouble.

Ok, maybe not.

I'm Going to Disneyland!

Adrienne got her first taste of Disneyland and The Mouse when we went there for Maura's birthday with Rowan and Andrea. Even though Mickey still ranks second in Adrienne's heart to Elmo, she went nuts for the place.

We went on It's a Small World (awesome--both times), Pirates of the Caribbean (not so awesome), Winnie the Pooh ride (kinda freaked Adrienne out), the Dumbo ride (it was a blast once she got used to it) and just generally walked around and looked at stuff. The highlights (aka the pictures we remembered to take):

One of the two pictures you must take when entering Disneyland for the first time. Hey, we didn't make the rules.

Here is what it feels like to ride It's a Small World for the first time.

Adrienne rocked this high-fashion combo at the park.

Disneyland regular and baby companion of the day, Rowan, had fun also.

This cup is full of...nothing. We just thought it was a funny picture.

Texting/blogging breaks for the moms.

It rained, but it didn't matter. Always go to Disneyland on a rainy Monday. The lines just wash away.

Totally rocking Dumbo with dad.

Since it was Maura's birthday we picked up dinner from a place we've had our eye on for a long time--the La Palma Chicken Pie Shop!

As you can see it was totally worth it.

Pajama Poses

Let's just say Adrienne is "filling out" some of her PJs rather well thanks to a steady diet of meatballs, milk and yogurt. We sure do love that belly--and she loves showing it off. It's like Flashdance meets footie pajamas.

A Day at the Park

As part of Maura's weekend-long birthday celebration, we gathered the troops, picked up sandwiches at Whole Foods and enjoyed an afternoon in the park. There sure are a lot of kids there. Too bad none of them were as cute as Adrienne.

Everyone got to take turns (pushing Adrienne).

Jeremy would only go down the slide if Adrienne went with him and held his hand.

The requisite group shot. It's not that easy getting four adults and one baby looking this good at one moment in time, so enjoy it.
