Happy Thanksgiving

My first Canadian Thanksgiving. Whoever heard of celebrating it without (vegan) Pumpkin Pie? It ended up being more fun mashing the pie with my fingers. Now if I could only find some turkey.....


I'm getting really good at opening books and turning pages

If you look closely enough you can see my two bottom teeth

Playing in the sand is so much fun (well, until I somehow manage to get sand in my mouth)

A trip to the Apple Orchard

Grandpa and Grandma Wagner are visiting for 4 days and we have been having a good time sprucing up the back yard, fixing things around the apartment, and today we drove the "Apple Route" along Lake Ontario and saw the countryside and stopped at an apple farm. Grandpa got me a pumpkin so stay tuned to see how that turns out. Mommy Laura bought me some apples to make applesauce too. And some fresh sweet corn also which is already a favorite food of mine.

8 months old today :)

I weigh about 20 lbs and eating some solid foods. My favorite food is watermelon. My favorite activity right now is standing in the TV box. I can pull myself up to standing! My mommy Laura got this exersaucer from the neighbor for me to sit in but I'd rather play with the toys from the outside....

This is still a favorite toy. If you go back to when I was 1 week old you'll see a similar picture of me looking in the mirror...

Off to bed after a long day of playing.

Exploring the apartment...

What would Mommy Laura say if I ripped a page out of this Spanish Dictionary?

Thanks to Aunt Sylvia for making this bib for me.

Uh, hello... Can someone come help me? I'm stuck here. I managed to pull the camcorder out but now I don't know what to do and I don't want to let go.

Anya loves to pick up the bowls and "eat" from them

A priceless picture in the bathtub

Those fresh summer veggies sure make your hair grow !

My Mommy Laura was surfing the internet and saw this picture and thought it would be funny to post on my blog just to give you a good laugh. Of course, you aren't fooled by this because I am WAY cuter than this baby. But it does give you a glimpse of what's going to be sprouting from my adorable head (possibly a lighter shade than this). We get stopped by the paparazzi often when we are out on walks for people to admire my beautiful red hair and big blue eyes.

Hangin' out in T.O.

Trying out my new Tripp Trapp wooden highchair!

We went to the Canadian National Exhibition this week. My mommy Laura said I can have a miniature donkey when I grow up (well, she wants one for herself) This was the highlight of the trip to the Ex.

ummmmm. baby fingers are pretty tasty...

taking notes.... (also, Daddy Pat told me about the pigs he had when he was a small baby)

Take me out to the ballgame... This is just across the street from our house at the park. It was fun sitting on the hillside watching the game with Daddy Pat (and watching Mommy Laura blow bubbles)

I like to "help" with my diaper laundry

A note to my friend Emily....

Dear Emily, You have lived through Hurricane Katrina, civil unrest in Africa, and a bad roommate in Atlanta....Keep your head up! That dissertation will be done soon and you'll be married next year and you will live happily ever after. Love, Anya
