Boldly Going Where No Parents Have Gone Before...

To the movies! Grandma and Grandpa took care of Hanners while mom and dad went to see a movie together for the first time since Slumdog Millionaire. Guess what we saw? That's right, we saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Sheesh homies....of course we saw Star Trek! Doi!

Hmmm. Nice to know that Hannah and Grandma have the same taste in clothing. I see Hand-Me-Downs! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Playdate at the Getty!

A few days ago Hannah met Myles and Oliver for the first time. What better place to have a first playdate than the Getty Center?Ok, just setting the mood. On with the shenanigans!
Margot got to meet everyone as well. And she taught Hannah how to wave!We all had a great time. Here's to many more playdates in the near future!

Hannah and Margot...the New Harold and Kumar?

What a wacky duo!

Like Father, Like Daughter

One day when I was holding Hannah in my arms she looked right into my eyes and gave me a look that said: "I'm ready, Daddy. Take me to Best Buy." My eyes suddenly became misty. Our little baby is growing up!
While we were there I probably should have picked up a digital camera with better auto focus.Now I'm sure you're asking yourselves: "what makes you so sure she wanted to go?" Because she absolutely loves electronics, fools! Check these out:In fact she loves these gadgets way more than the toys we buy specifically for her. Like father, like daughter!

Dim Sum with Margot! And Some Grown Ups Too.

Probably the one place you can eat where you can have a screaming baby and not feel weird. Not that they did...I'm just sayin'!

8 Months Old!

Enjoy these pics of a happy Hannah (and parents) now! Two words: sleep regression...

Good Eats With Lesley

Lesley got a chance to stop by before going back home to the boonies (a.k.a. Oregon). What started as a quick visit became a day long culinary tour of the valley! First we had brunch at a Valley staple: More Than Waffles!

We devoured the waffles so quickly I forgot to take pictures -- can you blame us? Next we stopped at a Frozen Yogurt place: Tutti Fruitti.
And lastly, Mommy came home and we all had dinner at Absolutely Phobulous...a Vietnamese place that has Veggie Pho made with veggie broth. Whaaaa....??? In between meals we played some Little Big Planet to help us digest.
Food, Friends and Video Games -- what more can you ask for? Thanks for the visit Lesley...and see you in three months!

Good Times With Odra

April Pix

Daddy didn't get to post too much in April. Here's some pics of that month:

Goodbye Odra!

Odra's last day with us was last Thursday. In the three weeks she took care of Hannah, Odra helped us sleep train her, get her on a simple routine that includes two naps, a walk, and two meals of solids a day, clipped her toenails and finger nails shorter than mom or dad ever could, helped organize our livingroom and Hannah's room a little and gave Hannah a haircut. With Odra's help Hannah now gets plenty of food and rest, and she stays happy all day. WOW!

Goodbye Odra, and thanks for all your help. We all miss you already (seriously)!
