Carolyn got me a new purse for my birthday and Sterling decided it was just the accessory he needed with his outfit. It's almost bigger than he is!

We went to Santa Monica last Friday with Jay, Caitlin, Carolyn, Sterling, Luke and I. We went in to Lids to try to find a hat that fit Luke, and Sterling got way into trying them on. He was cracking us up because he would just go from one hat to the next and he wanted me to try this one on with him.

We took this a couple of weeks ago because Sterling wore his new shirt. It's not a great picture, but he's getting to that age where he definitely doesn't just stand around waiting patiently while you get the camera ready.

Like his cousin Ava, Sterling is really wanting to feed himself lately! Actually, I think since he's waited this long, his motor skills are actually pretty decent and his does a good job for the most part. And sometime he just loses patience with himself and hands the spoon back to me because I can get it in there faster and in bigger bites!

This was a night a couple of weeks ago that we went to dinner with our land lady Paula, (the white lady in the middle) and her friends Koji and Takako who were visiting from Japan. We were at the Bonaventure Westin Hotel, where they have filmed many famous movies like "True Lies", "Rain Man", and "In the Line of Fire" (along with many others!). Paula has been a wonderful person to us- she is letting us live in her condo rent free and has been so generous in many ways. This particular night she wanted to take us to the revolving cocktail lounge at the Bonaventure where you can see the entire city. The funny part of it was that we had Sterling...He was pretty good for the first hour or so, but then, not surprisingly, he got a little restless. So we let him get down and walk a little...Then he started to run, and we were embarrassed and made him stop. But Paula was quick to say,"Oh he's so cute! And he's having fun!" Then Koji and Takako got down and started chasing him around the lounge! This restaurant was filled with people having after dinner drinks (It was 9:30 before we left) and just trying to have a relaxing evening, and here is a one year old running circles around the place! I don't know when the last time a kid was probably even there! But Paula thought it was great and we all had fun, despite Sterling causing a scene :)
