Superbaby!

"I'm flying, I'm flying!" 

 "You should use this time to get some sit-ups in, mom."

Feet (and duckies)

At around 4-and-a-half months, Bernie started touching her feet and showing some interest in eating them, as well. 

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

Reading the menu

Reading is a very important skill.  How else do you know what to order?      

"Does anybody wanna split an appetizer?"

Two pretty aunts!

With aunts Catherine and Jaime.       

Carlton & Kendall!!

Bernie adores her friends Carlton & Kendall!  She thinks they are such a great couple, here she is helping them spontaneously renew their vows.         

"Now listen up, I want you two to take this part seriously..."

Baby raspberry noises

Big girl Bernadette stayed at Grandma & Grandpa's house on Saturday evening while mom and dad were out partying, and this is how she entertained her grandparents!

Over and over!

Do you want to laugh?

Throwback to some of Bernie's first little giggles!

In purple & black for Aunt Annie's bachelorette party!

All dressed up with Grandma Jean!

Gonna be a flower girl in Aunt Annie's wedding!

"You mean I get to wear this pretty dress that Auntie Jayne gave me?!"

"In front of a big crowd of admirers?!"

"This is gonna be awesome!  I'll just walk right down the aisle!  Let's go!"

"Oh... I don't know how to walk yet?  Hmmm..."

"Ok, I'll just ride in this sweet wagon that Grandpa Mark customized for me!"

"Hold on, I'm momentarily distracted by my amazing feet..."

"Now what were we talking about?"

"Oh yeah!  I love my Aunt!  I can't wait to be a part of Angela & Chris's wedding on 10/4!!!"

Auntie Ange!

Snuggling up with Ange in Berkeley.

Bernie loves Uncle Chris

Having a special moment with Uncle Chris:    

"Sup, bro."

Baby in space

Looks like she's fixing the space shuttle's control panel in zero gravity ... right?

Teething

Little teething girl will gnaw on anything lately, even dad's finger!

Grandpa Mark!

We "heart" Bernie

Thanks for the comfy blankie, cousins Doug & Michele!

Big grin

Good times!

Mustang pride

Going for a walk

Looking up to you

Little bald girl

July throwback!

Upside-down!

Tasting avocado

At four months old, very unsure as to whether avocado (mixed with milk) is palatable.   

Bernie's "crib"

"Yo yo yo, welcome to another episode of MTV Cribs.  Today I'm kickin' it in my sweet play area next to the kitchen.  I got dots.  I got stripes.  I got a giraffe that makes a rattling noise.  Come on and check it out!"

"Here's my bassinet. Yeah, this is where the magic happens, you know what I'm saying!"

"This is my workout area where I get my pump on, you know, keepin' the physique in top form.  I do 50 reps of spinning the elephant around, every single day!  Gotta work hard to look this good!"

"This is where I get my grub on, my sweet dining room.  Seats 5 -- or 6, if you count the high chair, yeah.  I have dinner parties all the time that go all night until 8pm in the evening."


"This is my dope ride.  Interior blankie custom made of real elephants.  Imported from India and tastes good, too."

"This here is my pad.  Gotsta stay fresh and clean, you know!  I'm up here 6, 7 times a day!"


"Everywhere I go I got my sweet entourage.  Where my doggies at, yo!  Gimme a pound!"

"Well, thanks for coming and checking out my crib."

"You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here."

Rock & roll!

Bernie surprised us yesterday by rolling over from back to front for the first time!  Wow!  She's an ambi-turner! 

We also realized that she is 19 weeks old today.  When she was 19 weeks gestated, back in November 2013, we found out we were having a baby girl.  It was hard to imagine then how much we would love our girl and how much she would amaze us!  We <3 Bernie!!!

Baby likes curry!

"I love me some curry!"

"That's right, I'm the best present ever!"

"MOAR curry!!!!"
