Lara's 1st Valentine

Valentine's Day was extra special this year. Lara chose her Dad as her Valentine and bought a cute and fuzzy card for him with a heart shaped peppermint pattie. She smiled as dad came home with chocolate, flowers (a combination of roses and star-gazer lillies, flowers from their wedding), and a card. All three of us enjoyed the chocolate and headed over to our favorite chinese restaurant, Little Hong Cafe for some Mandarin Chicken. Lara took a nap and her parents helped themselves to the egg rolls- you snooze you lose.

BiCoastalism

Lara had a great weekend with a visitor from DC, her lovely Aunt Parwana. We spent another lovely dinner at Cobras&Matadors with Parwana, Aisha and James and some lovely time on Main Street in Santa Monica. Pictures courtesy of Parwana.

Lara & The Food Revolution

Lara decided to check out Jamie Oliver & The Food Revolution. She didn't have much to contribute since she is Team Milk and is months away from solids....so for now she says "no comment."

Lara and her little prayer

Not much to say about this picture, it really speaks for itself. Not sure what she is praying for, but I bet it's a four letter word starting with M and ending with K, rhyming with silk.

Lara is on Youtube

Lara had made her debut on YouTube. We've wanted to make it easier for family and friends to watch our little animated munchkin. Feel free to watch and comment or if you are her grandparents, watch them on a continuous loop!

Back to Work

So the day has finally come, Lara is off to Daycare full-time and mom is back to work. Mom & Dad both went to Daycare this morning to wish Lara well. Lara was none the wiser and half smiled as we walked off to our cars for the morning commute. Even with a slight cold & cough, she seemed content with her bottled milk, blankets, burp blanket, plenty of wipes and diapers. Mommy checked in at noon with the Daycare provider & Lara was totally fine. We have a couple hours left until we pick up the munchkin, but this is how we found her last time.....
