Happy Hanukkah!

Shabbat Shalom!  Some pics of Bernadette's first night of Hanukkah!

Mmmmm....avocado....

Baby date

"Hey Bernadette, check out my sweet moves.  Oh come on baby, live life to the fullest with a younger man!"

"Yes, Penn!  You've convinced me!  I'd cross a thousand blankets to be with you!  Eeeeeeee!"

"Oh, Mausii, you cannot keep us apart!  You are pretty strong, though!" 

"What's that?  We're too young to date?  Ok, no problem, just give me your phone and glasses, and all shall be well."

Back-to-back baby height check!  Penn's giant head was a bit taller than Bernadette's giant head, though it's difficult to tell here, since B loves to stand very rigidly at all times!

"My thoughts on the bible?  Tastes exactly like the pile of napkins I just chewed up and swallowed about half of.  So, yeah, not impressed.  Why, is it popular?"

At Costco

"Oh. My. Gaaaawd, those chocolate chips look delicious!  They're all for me, right?"

"Being a fancy lady at Costco is a lonely pursuit.  Some of these people aren't even wearing jewelry!"

Musical baby

Playing the chimes at Blake Garden with dad!

Baby in a box

"Har-dee-har, you put me in a box, mom!  Super-funny!"  

"Wait, you're not going anywhere, are you?  I'll go straight to sleep this time, I promise!"

More army "crawling"

She can really go places if properly motivated!

"Crawling"

Bernie invented her own way of getting around:  A lopsided, one-armed army crawl.  It may look a little goofy, but it works!  

7 month portraits (Thanksgiving edition)

Studious baby & Grammy Juju

Throwback: Fun with the hanging mirror!

Back in the days when she couldn't really move around by herself, and one toy could occupy her for a long time!  How sweet it was!

Post-nap hair, cheeks & little smile

Survivorbaby takes footage of herself in the wilderness

"Welcome, fans.  I'll be documenting my rugged journey for you..."

"But do I have what it takes to survive?!?"

"Wait, seriously, do I?  Hey, Assistant!  Did you pack the giraffe rattle?  The board books?  The abacus that only counts to three?"

"Yeeeeaaaahhhhh!  We got this!!"

"See you back at base camp!"

Thanksgiving with Annie & Chris

"Trust me, Uncle Chris, this bronzer is really going to highlight your cheekbones..."
