Stuffy nose

Bernie got her first stuffy nose (well, since right after she was born) at 3-and-a-half months old.  She cried more than usual and only wanted to nap on mom or dad ... you might say she acted just like a little baby.  

Finally getting some sleep.

Hope our girl feels better soon!!

Mirror-gazing with mom

Auntie Allie!

Bernie was very lucky to have an expert babysitter, Auntie Allie, visit her!

"I have an Allie!"

Aunt Annie, Uncle Chris & Bernie!

Bernie loves her Aunt Annie & Uncle Chris!  What a great pair!

Looking glamorous.

"Don't mess with me."

"I can't believe it.  She messed with me."

Uncle Dave & Aunt Veronica!!

When she was three months old, Bernie got to meet her Uncle Dave & Aunt Veronica!

You may think these two are merely cool and good-looking...

...but they're a lot of fun, too!

Bernie could hardly contain her excitement!

A scintillating time was had by all!

Uncle Ben & Aunt Catherine!!

Bernie finally met her Uncle Ben and Aunt Catherine, who live in Charleston, SC.  We all got together in NY when Bernie was 3-and-a-half months old.

Uncle Ben!  Mom remembers when Ben was a little baby like Bernie!

Aunt Catherine, who is very skilled with babies!

Sister & brother!

Yakima

At three months old, Bernie embarked upon her first-ever journey by plane!  We flew to Seattle, then drove to Yakima, WA.

Just about ready to board.

Napping comfortably with Grandma Jean.

Meeting Great-Grandma Joy for the first time.

Early in the evening...

...later on!

Berkeley baby

Here's our girl hanging out on the couch in her new living room in Berkeley.  More pics of Bernie's new home to come!

Beach Point

About two years after mom and dad got married at Beach Point in NY, we brought our little girl for a visit.  She got to visit with mom's whole side of the family!

With her big cousins, the Boones.  Kurt, Felix, and Penelope pictured here.

With her biggest big cousin, Wolfie Boone, who is an excellent babysitter!

Loving the "Beach Point" shirt from Elissa & Beth Landes!  Thank you!!

Too cool (too hot, actually) for clothes while hanging out with Grandpa Fred.

Netters, Levys, Boones, and Marks!

Aunt Patrice & Aunt Gina!!

Mom's two wonderful aunts, Tri & GG, meet Bernie!  Stylish outfit by Gina, of course!
