Mental Note - Stand at Bottom to Catch Baby!

She Loves the Car Seat TOO Much...

...she loves it so much she even loves the box it came in!



Big Girl Seat!



Coco finally made the 20 pound mark...just barely...and now can ride in a 'big girl seat.' She became consumed with the 'big girl seat' when she rode in one for the first time in our Realtor's car. Coco and I picked it out online, actually Coco picked it, then we drove to the store and she pointed the seat out from across the store. We tried it out, then I had to take her out of it so we could buy it - she was very upset about all that. As soon as we got home she couldn't wait to try it out. The car ride is a WHOLE new experience for us both!

At the SFMOMA's Artist's Gallery Warehouse Sale

Daddy sold a whole bunch of paintings. It was crazy crowded but fun! By coincidence we got to meet the folks that bought John's show special. They are big fans of his work.


Performance Art


This is what happens when you turn your back to do dishes and leave your 20 month old with not enough to do - they make art - on the floor with found materials!

Hanging out with Daddy some more!




Transitions!

I got laid off on April 2. Coco got to spend most of April going to daycare as usual, Monday's at Emma's and Tuesday through Friday's at Heather's. It took 40 phone calls, more than a dozen site visits, and two prior daycare tryouts (Coco got kicked out of the first two - see February 2008 posts) before we found Heather's in Novato! As soon as we walked in Coco was a happy little baby, and she left a happy toddler, though she misses Heather and Emma and all her little friends there. She also misses the extra hugs she got from Trenton, Kimberley and Brian - We were SO lucky to have found Heather and have Coco spend nearly everyday of her first two years with her.
