Amanda Peet Dishes on Frankie's Bedtime Routine

Fame

Most parents will make it a priority to establish a good routine at bedtime, but if it’s possible to have too much of a good thing, Amanda Peet and David Benioff might take the cake!

During a Thursday appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, the 37-year-old actress said that her 2 ½-year-old daughter Frances ‘Frankie’ Pen “is a very good sleeper” who “doesn’t wake up at all in the night.”

The couple are so pleased with the shuteye they log, however, they go to great lengths to repeat the process. “My sister and her husband make fun of us all the time because we’re sort of like baseball players,” Amanda explains. “We have to … keep her surroundings exactly the same.”

The couple use blackout shades in Frankie’s room, and then add layers of “various articles of dark clothing, like David’s sock and scarf to make it really, really dark,” Amanda explains. “My girlfriend came over the other day and said, ‘Her room is so lovely, but you kind of seem like serial killers.’”

When they are away from home, Amanda says that the scene is recreated — courtesy of duct tape and navy sheets! She adds,

“We go into a hotel room and unpack the duct tape and the navy sheets and proceed to attach them to the windows. I’m sure when the staff that works at these hotels come and see our room they think we’re nuts.”

Frankie is the first child for the couple, who married in 2006.

Adriana Lima now has a little angel of her own: Victoria Secret’s model and her husband, NBA star Marko Jaric welcomed a daughter on Sunday, November 15th in New York City.

“Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric,” a rep for the model tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Mother, father and baby are all doing well.”

Adriana, 28, met the Memphis Grizzlies star, 31, in 2006 and got engaged two years later on her 27th birthday. The couple eloped on Valentine’s Day this year, tying the knot in a small, private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Soon after the honeymoon, Adriana learned she was expecting. “We are so excited!” she told PEOPLE at the time. “We wanted this. We were ready.”

“Even in my wildest days I knew that I wanted to be the ultimate family man,” Marko adds. “We’re ready to settle down.”

Paula Patton: I Want Two Kids, Robin Wants Five

Jordan Strauss/FilmMagic

Pregnancy suits Paula Patton well! During a Friday visit to The Tyra Show, the Precious actress couldn’t contain her excitement — and Tyra Banks took notice. “You look like you’re glowing,” the host prompted.

With Paula quick to respond that her “special glow” is only “for a short period of time,” confirming that she is 3 months pregnant, the mama-to-be revealed that she and her husband Robin Thicke are anxiously awaiting the day to find out whether they will be seeing pink or blue.

“The next doctor visit I find out, so we’re excited,” she shares.

Thrilled to welcome their first child, Paula and Robin are still unsure about just how many more babies will follow.

“Two would be good for me,” Paula laughs. “If I could have twins — a boy and a girl — I’d be done!”

However, Robin seems to be thinking in larger numbers.

“He would have five, but you know how men are…I’m like, ‘That’s gonna be with someone else, baby! That’s not gonna be with me!’”

Precious is now in theaters.

Add Fun to Mealtime With Beaba's New Toddler Feeding Collection!


Beaba

The introduction of solid foods is a big (but messy) milestone in a baby’s life. Now with Beaba‘s new feeding collection, it will be even more memorable.

Beaba – the company that brought us the Babycook — has introduced a line of brightly colored cups, utensils, dishes and more made of 100% BPA-free materials.

The super compact lunchbox ($30, above) is perfect for toddlers on-the-go. Not only is it small enough to stash in a diaper bag, it comes with a plate, a dual compartment container, a lid to keep foods warm and an ergonomic spoon and fork set.

Other great products include the bowls ($25), plates ($30) and cups ($20) which come in sets of three. They all feature a non-slip bottom to keep things secure while your little one self-feeds.

We also love the silicone utensils. If you’re just introducing your child to solids, go for the first-stage spoons set ($20 for set of four). If your toddler is more advanced, try the fork/spoon cutlery set ($20).

The entire collection is microwave and dishwasher safe!
