Jason Bateman was seen out with daughter Francesca at the farmer’s market in Studio City over the weekend.
If it looks like Jason is in a great mood, it’s probably because he will direct a new comedy pilot for Fox called “The Inn.”
The show is described as “Upstairs/Downstairs” set at a hip New York hotel.

On March 5, Brooke gave birth to a baby boy, who weighed in at 6lbs 8ozs and was 19 inches long.
We waited and waited for the name announcement – but it didn’t come.
Now three and a half weeks later the couple has finally decided on a name.
The new mom made the official announcement on her site, babooshbaby.com, yesterday.
You heard it here first! We have finally settled on a name. We waited our whole lives for our son, and couldn’t find the perfect fit. Poor guy! Now it’s official.Shaya Charvet
We played with so many different names, and both loved Shaya the most. It means God’s gift in Hebrew. David came up with a middle name, Braven, which I really like. I want to give him part of my name too, so I am thinking about double Bs in the middle like my initials, Braven-Burke. He is the last Charvet to carry on David’s family name. He is also the first boy in David’s family, the little brother of three princesses, and my youngest. Ya think he is gonna be spoiled?!?!
We haven’t agreed on the middle name yet, but for all those who have been asking, Shaya Charvet it is!

Boys Brady, Eli, Ryan, Jackson and Charlie and lone girl MacKenzie have all been home since December and out of the spotlight.
Since then, three of them, Charlie, Jackson and Ryan, have been hospitalized a few days for pneumonia. Otherwise, all have been healthy, though Charlie and Jackson still require oxygen. Brady, the heaviest of the bunch, now weighs more than 16 pounds. MacKenzie, the smallest, weighs at least 12 pounds.Brady, Ryan and Eli have rolled over.
“They’re all smiling and laughing, all teething and drooling,” Karoline said.
Karoline and her husband, Ben, 31, have new nicknames for some of the kids. Ryan, once called “the perfect baby,” is now known as “Cryin’ Ryan.”
Brady is called “Melon” because of his big head. Jackson, the “Drama Queen,” is still a mama’s boy. MacKenzie has a smile like the Joker in Batman.
Two nurses work from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day.
All six babies and their older sister Zoe made a rare appearance out yesterday when they were baptized.
In order to help out the baptizing Reverend, Ron Aubin and increase the cute factor, each Byler baby wore a white keepsake bib embroidered with the name and date.
It is nice to hear that all of the babies are doing well. It is unfortunate that the site the family created for the babies has been taken down.
We wish the family well!

In January, Fit Pregnancy named the Top 10 Cities To Have A Baby. Now, Parents magazine tells us the safest states to raise our kids.
While no state has a perfect track record, Parents’ investigation turned up a top 10 ranking of those that are at least trying hard.
With the exception of California and Oregon, it appears that the North East seems to be the place to live.
One of the major deciding factors in this survey was safety. The magazine points out the inequality in standards across the country, noting those who are outstanding and others who lag behind.
Kids are six times more likely to die from a violence-related injury in Alaska than they are in Massachusetts. In California, public playgrounds must meet all federal government safety recommendations, but 34 states offer no standards for where your kids climb, jump and swing. Connecticut and 20 other states have made big improvements in school-bus crossings, while 13, including Nebraska and Arizona, are way behind.
How they came to these numbers:
From October 2007 to January 2008, Parents analyzed state-level data on more than 30 criteria that impact a child’s safety. The data was supplied by leading organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Safe Kids Worldwide.
It is worth mentioning that with the exception of Oregon, the remaining 9 states listed in this survey are among the top 20 highest taxed states. It is possible that these states are safer because they have more money to spend on improving regulations and implementing them.

The transsexual, 34, who kept his female reproductive organs after a sex change, said: “It was a life-threatening event that required surgical intervention.”
The couple decided to try again – but Thomas had to inseminate himself at home with semen from a sperm bank after nine doctors refused to carry out the procedure on a man with a beard.
“They refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognise Nancy as my wife.” The Receptionists laughed at them.
“This whole process, from trying to get pregnant to being pregnant, has been a challenge.”
Thomas, who used to be lesbian Tracy LaGondino when living in Hawaii, was last night in hiding with Nancy after recording an interview with TV chatshow host Oprah Winfrey.
Can this story get any crazier?

The Kozy carrier is a modern version of the Asian Mei Tai, otherwise known as an Asian Baby Carrier (ABC). A few things have been added to increase stability and comfort, with the design staying true to the style keeping it simple, compact, and comfy.
With wide padded shoulder straps, a padded curved head support, and sturdy durable fabrics, the Kozy was designed for the comfort of not only you but your child as well. And with its generous sized body, it not only supports your child throughout their legs, bum and back, but it is made to grow with your child. It can be used from birth through toddlerhood and beyond.
My first impression of the Kozy Carrier was its arrival in a postage parcel bag that, once opened and inverted, turned into a neat little Kozy Tote for the carrier. A great idea and an ecofriendly way to deal with mail packaging!
The carrier itself is surprisingly large (another reason the tote is so great!). My carrier came in the Merrifield pattern with black straps… very cute! I love the colours. The top straps are wide and padded for extra comfort over the shoulders and the bottom straps are very long, a sure fit for most body types. Another neat feature on the straps is a little “secret” pocket in which to put your debit card or some cash.
My first attempted passenger was my three-month-old daughter who weighs about 13 pounds. I tried her facing me at first but her legs weren’t long enough to go around my waist and she wasn’t comfortable. Then, I tried her forward facing and, once again, her legs were forced wider than what was comfortable for her and she wasn’t happy. I tried to fold the edges in different ways but it appears the carrier is just too big for her at this point
So, I moved on to my next eager participant, my three-and-a-half-year-old son who weighs just over 50 pounds. We configured the carrier so he could ride on my back and it worked like a charm. Once I figured out how to tie the straps, and because my son is old enough to hold on while I tie it up, it was a snap! We actually went for a walk with my daughter in her stroller and my son on my back. People probably thought I was crazy to be carrying such a big kid, but it was a good experiment proving how surprisingly well the carrier distributes the weight.
Not willing to give up, I asked a visiting friend to try it out with her nine-month-old daughter who weighed about 18 pounds at the time. She chose to carry the baby facing her and we went out walking in for about an hour. She easily tied up the carrier and adjusted it to comfortably fit both of them… and her daughter slept snugly against her chest for most of the walk. My friend thought the design was great and loved the colours as well. I actually gave it to her to use until my little one gets bigger (and so my son will stop bugging me to carry him on my back all the time!).
Although I was not a die-hard fan of baby carriers, I will admit that the Kozy Carrier is definitely a stylish, comfortable and versatile option for carrying your baby or toddler. Their large selection of patterns offers something for every taste and style.
It’s ability to dissipate the weight evenly across your body would make it ideal for expectant moms who are not able to carry their toddlers around constantly.
