Our first weekend in May was spent in Los Angeles, California. West Hollywood to be exact. There was a new show premiering at the end of the month called "Men at Work" on TBS and Wayne was asked to go to the press junket and represent KDWB.

We were thrilled. All expenses paid trip for 2 out to California?? Hell yea!! Here is a breakdown and a slideshow of our trip.

We stayed at The London West Hollywood, which was beautiful.

We had a driver wherever we went.

We had a hospitality suite at the hotel filled with snacks and drinks.

We went and toured the shows set at Sony Picture Studios in Studio #25.

We met the stars of the show and got pictures with each one.

We watched the pilot episode.

We went out to eat at BOA Steakhouse which is a super fancy and delicious restaurant.

We had breakfast each morning at the Gordon Ramsay in our hotel.

We had massages at the Ciel Spa in the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.

We sat at the rooftop pool at our hotel and got some sun!

Wayne interviewed the cast and writer, Breckin Meyer, of the show one on one.

We took a cab to Santa Monica Beach.

We walked the Third Street Promenade.

We attended the roof-top launch party with food/drinks and gifts.

We ate at In-N-Out Burger for the first time.

We met some really cool people.

We had a great weekend away.

We missed Hailey so much.

This is you at 11 months old:

You wouldn't sit still for Mommy again this month and let's be honest, you really don't sit still at all anymore.

You are always on the go.

You are walking (sometimes trying to run) all over the place!!

You are always getting into everything.

You have found some new places to squeeze into.

You are trying, eating and loving so many different foods. You name it and you've probably tried it.

You love Baby Mum Mums. They are your favorite snack.

You see Mommy and Daddy eating and you are immediately by our sides or begging for some.

You love ice cream. Especially milk shakes.

You have started to mimick us when we say a couple different words. For example:

"bye, bye"

"no, no"

"Dada"

"baby"

"Ellen"

You don't say the word entirely clearly yet, but you can definitely tell you are trying to copy what we are saying.

You are eating about 6 oz of milk for daytime feedings and 8 oz before bed...sometimes more.

You like to have your blanket over your face when you are eating.

You love drinking water out of your sippy cup.

You also love playing with it, too.

You are still going to bed at about 9pm and sleeping until about 8am...on average.

You love to be outside.

You and Daddy takes walks to the park with the puppies.

You still clap when we say "Yay!"

You raise your hands when we say "So big!"

You hate swinging and are afraid of heights just like your Daddy. Hopefully that will change soon.

You are going after the dogs more and more now that you can walk, but they are still OK with you.

You have gotten so vocal and jibber-jabbering away all the time.

You love to watch Ellen and dance to the music!

You like to multi-task sometimes and eat sitting up so you can still watch TV.

You are drooling like crazy lately because you are getting your eye teeth in.

You now have 4 upper teeth and 4 bottom teeth.

You love sitting in the shopping cart or cruising around in your stroller.

You love to people watch and are so curious.

You went to the zoo for the first time.

You wore your sun hat, but it didn't last long on your head before you pulled it off.

You have really started showing us your personality

You have really started showing us your temper.

You get so mad when we take something away from you that you should have.

You like to show us how independent you can be already.

You're eyes are turning hazel.

You are growing to be such a big girl.

Grandma Kimmy put your hair in a ponytail for the first time.

You still love bath time and are even getting used to the water running. It doesn't even bother you anymore.

You are also getting used to the blow dryer now, too.

You still don't like the vacuum. It's just too darn loud.

You are now wearing all 12 month clothes (a few smaller onesies) and even a few 18 month things.

Your giggle is the best thing in this entire world.

You are still wearing size three diapers.

You love to make funny faces.

You still love your activity table and the music it plays.

You are just so very precious to us and we love you so much.

You are the light of our life!

We love you so much!

I just got my nails done yesterday. I went with OPI's new gel polish in Miami Beet.

I usually don't go this dark, but I actually really love it.

It's obviously the color of a beet...purple-ish. I wanted something in the purple family for the benefit on Sunday.The benefit is for a friend's Dad and he is battling pancreatic cancer. Purple is the color for pancreatic cancer. Just trying to be festive.

I'm linking up with Tara over at Fabulous But Evil.

Weekend in LA...to work and play!
