FOOD!

Felix had his first tastes of solid food this week! He had some sweet pea puree and some rice cereal!
He loves those peas, but was in a complete state of misery when served the rice cereal. I think we will skip the rice for now and try some sweet potato puree! Here are some photos from the first bites! So CUTE!!!

A Little SUPER BABY for your pleasure!

Christmas Photo Shoot

Well, I am happy to say that the Christmas Card Photo Shoot went ALOT better than the Halloween one. We took tons of photos for potential cards and actually agreed on one. You will soon be receiving one in your mailbox! Below are some photos of the day and of course, some out takes!

My First Thanksgiving

After many a conversation, we decided to stay in Vermont for Thanksgiving. Sean and Michelle were housesitting about 30 minutes from Burlington on a big piece of property equipped with two weirdo dogs and two horses. It was just the five of us for dinner and we had enough food for at least 10! It was a traditional menu, although I thoroughly missed the pumpkin pie. In fact, days later I was still missing it, so Benjamin bought me a piece at a local cafe! YUM! Finally, I was able to stop talking about it. We missed all of the family we didn't see, but had a nice day! Below are photos of Felix feeding the horses! He had a little help from his dad, but had a blast checking out his first horses!

meet aunt jessica!

Last weekend, my Opa came back to Burlington so that I could meet my Aunt Jessica! She loved holding me, giving me kisses, and cuddling up with Stella, too! All the pictures of her I had seen, she had blonde hair and when she arrived I was surprised! She dyed her hair Black! I still think she is beautiful! We celebrated Aunt Jessica's 20th birthday, did some shopping, and visited the Ben & Jerry's factory. Unfortunately, I was a little fussy while she was here. I think I am starting to get some teeth and boy...that almost hurts more than my vaccines! Opa sang me my "F-E-L-I-X" song over and over and I loved it every time! Dad and Uncle Jacob loved joining in for a verse or two! It was nice to see everyone again! It does make me a little sad that I won't see Opa and Oma until February!

newspaper

felix and i were reading this week's seven days, when he took a particular interest in the restaurant reviews! he even had black ink on his hands after he was finished with section a!

my grammie

we realized yesterday that we don't have a lot of photos of me and my grammie!
i think it is because she lives the closest to me and we often forget to take photos when she comes over to play.
on this particular afternoon, grammie was watching me while moma took stella to the vet. i chose to cry and cry while moma was away, that is until grammie gave me a bottle and i fell fast asleep. poor grammie, didn't dare move while i was sleeping. when i woke up, i was as sweet as could be and that is when moma decided to take our photo! thanks for watching me, grammie!
