Art Star

Addie got some lovin' from our friend Adam Helms this weekend who is in LA from NY for his second solo show at Sister, a gallery in Chinatown. We brunched and then later met back up that night to take in the gallery opening reception which was impressive. What else would we expect from one of the hardest working and most talented artists on the scene today? When Addie met Adam's dad, who is the nicest man, she immediately burst into tears. That was the first time I'd seen her become afraid from meeting a new face. Poor Mr. Helms. Addie has cried one other time from fear and that was New Year's eve when we all blew those noise makers and she stared up at us from her exersaucer and then just melted. We've seen Addie elicit these sorts of tears from other babies before just by batting her eyelashes, especially little boys who aren't ready yet to handle Addie's obvious charms.

This was the second weekend in a row that Addie's had the chance to meet some of her parent's bestest friends for the first time. Last weekend my friend Jessica was here and like a total idiot I didn't snap a single shot of her and Addie together. It was great to see her of course, and she was a great help with Addie while Cap was out of town. We had another art filled weekend checking out the Rothko exhibition at MOCA Pacific Design Center and then going to the opening reception of a photography show in Santa Monica. From Addie's perspective, I think she still might prefer the grocery store to a gallery but she definitely doesn't mind getting smooched by an art star.
