Happy Halloween?

We wanted to take a picture of Adrienne in her cute Halloween outfit that she wore to daycare. Of course, this meant putting her down for a minute in the morning before we left for the day. She wasn't having it.

Adrienne Goes Pumpkin Patching

We went to a Pumpkin Festival thingy at Kidspace with Rowan and Declan and their parents.

Technically, is was the park next to Kidspace, but that just means there was more room for animals, pumpkins, kid-friendly bands, games and room for the now-moible Adrienne to roam. Some highlights (and outtakes from an attempted kid pic).

Adrienne got as close to a pony as her mom would let her.

She dug for (plastic) bones during some kid games. Scaaaary!

She walked by pumpkins with the gross sides showing.

Then we got the kids together for a picture on some hay. It ain't easy, as the past has shown. But we did get them kind of facing the same way all at once for a split second. Oh, the outtakes:

What is Declan thinking?

Feel my Blue Steel!

Adrienne's Walking Music Video

The video making stuff has admittedly gone a little too far, but it's been awhile and Adrienne is more on the move than ever. This little music video shows the progression--and gave us something to do with all of that footage we shot. Plus, '80s band Was (Not Was)!

(You deserve some sort of friendship medal or something if you make it to the end.)

In loving memory of Adrienne's East Coast Grandpa, Jim.

Adrienne Meets Michaela Pereira

Adrienne had her first run-in with a legitimate local celebrity. Michaela Pereira from the KTLA Morning Show hosted a walk around the Rose Bowl-type event. Even though we arrived over an hour late (we're still on baby time!) we walked the Bowl and we got the picture. You always have to get the picture.

Hopefully, Adrienne will stay awake for her next celeb encounter.

Adrienne Says "Hi!"

One of Adrienne's newest tricks is saying "hi" while waving. That's Carrie encouraging her off camera at her b-day party.

Next up: thrilling video of her pretending to blow her nose and ruining our hardwood floors with her toys! Who says parenthood isn't exciting?

Adrienne Rocks the (Eagle) Rock

For the second year in a row Adrienne attended the Eagle Rock Music Festival. This time her pal Cooper (and his parents) came along for the rainy fun.

As you can see Adrienne is already getting her disaffected indie rock snob look down. She's like, "Whatever music festival. Nice try."

But there's nothing like your mom holding you to remind you that you're still a baby!

Here's Adrienne gazing at her boyfriend Cooper.

No night out in Eagle Rock is complete without a top at the Taco Spot. Go Sox, says the sippy cup.
