Thanksgiving Photos

Check out me and Grandma D! This is one of the new outfits Nana made me.

Aunt Lisa is helping me to open an early Christmas gift! I didn't want to tell her that I could do it myself since I just met her and all...

We took my bath sponge all the way to NY with us! Hooray!

This is my cousin Nate. I love him!

Absent Ayda


We sure are missing baby Ayda here at the old homestead. Jennie called last night -- Ayda has another new tooth! See what happens when they go away! The Sonnenberg Trio is having lots of fun in NY with the family and I'm sure the family is having tons of fun with Ayda.

This picture is of serious Ayda -- concentrating hard on chewing her toys. She has some new shoes which are adorable and very comfy looking. Nana has been on a sewing kick and has been making lots of baby outfits lately. Ayda is going to be the most stylish baby at daycare!

I have been holding down the fort at home. Marley hasn't been too mopey and is actually eating his meals. Good dog!

New York Bound!

Over the river and through the woods, and across Massachusetts and on I-90 past Syracuse to Grammy and Grampy's house we go!
We're heading out tonight to see the Sonnenbergs! It's going to be a 12-hour drive AT LEAST! Daddy rented a car! I hope it's comfy....

Witter Farm

On Friday we went up to UMaine's Witter Farm with Aunt Mimi to see the horses, cows and sheep.



This horse's name is Smokey. He belongs to Mimi's friend Kori. She gave us a tour!



They had a lot of baby cows at the farm. They were very licky!

Miss Independent!

Look at what a big girl I am!


My friend Noah Lundy gave me these handy little handles! I've been trying to tell Mumma that "I CAN DO IT MYSELF!" She put these handles on my bottle today because I have been so grabby and bossy -- wanting to feed myself. I'm 6-months-old going on 6 years!

My friend Lily Mae Chandler


This is my friend Lily. The last time I saw her I was just a newborn. Lily is 16 months old and lives in Veazie with her mom and dad who went to high school with my mom and Aunt Mimi! Small world!

Lily came over to Nana and Papa's house with her mom, her Aunt Jenn and her grandparents -- Mimi and Bampy. We ate Pat's Pizza and played games. Lily really liked me I think. She handed me my toys when I dropped them and gave me lots of good kisses.


Nana noticed at dinner that I am cutting my first tooth. That's why I have been so cranky lately -- nice that someone finally noticed! It's right in the front on the bottom. Mumma tried to look at it this morning but I wouldn't let her. It hurts and I don't want people poking around in my mouth!

6 months old!

That's right! I am officially 6 months old. So far so good. I didn't do anything big for the big day. No rolling over. No sitting up. No first words or teeth growing. Mum's been a little worried but honestly, I am just content being content. When I have a reason to roll over, I will. Nana said that my mom was really slow to do these things too. Like mother like daughter!

I am learning my name. When someone says it I check them out. I figure they want something but they usually don't -- they just smile at me and make funny noises. It's all good. I make screamy baby noises right back at them!

I am trying to learn to sit up. Mumma says that I can't go back for another photo shoot until I can support myself in a sitting position. Whatever! We've been practicing but it's tough! I'd rather be held...
