Then she did a bunch of stuff like color and play and eat before going to her first music showcase for a band called A Camp, featuring Nina Persson formerly of The Cardigans. This is another in a growing list of famous people she's met or been in the same room with. Needless to say, her demeanor is getting much better during these types of things.
All in all, a pretty good day for a baby.
There was high-fiving!
There were fireworks!
And thanks to Andrea, we got to spend the end of the hot day in the VIP area with Paris Hilton and a bunch of other celebrities we didn't actually see but only read about later.
But the point here is that we spent the next day with Rowan, Andrea and Andy's kid playing in a Palm Springs condo. Adrienne loves Rowan's laid-back nature, obviously.
Then we went swimming and forgot to take pictures. But we did get a chunky bum shot on the way to the pool, which is just as good.
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.
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?
Plus, adding to her growing list of famous people she either sleeps through meeting or simply glares at, Adrienne was in the same room with former Daily Show correspondent, Rob Corddry. He got away before we could embarrassingly ask for the picture. We caught him Big Foot-style anyway.
Adrienne almost pulled another "Michaela Pereira moment" and slept through meeting another famous person, Leila Moss of The Duke Spirit.
But then she rallied. Rallied, with suspicion.
And who knows what to make of rising Disney star Everette Plen (aka Flip Flopperstein). Adrienne surely didn't, but he was nice enough to autograph some pictures for Adrienne's cousins (who are totally into him, BTW).
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.
