Bridget and Friends

We arrived back in New Hope on Wednesday.  Yesterday, Bridget and I went into the city to have lunch with Megan, Melinda, and Laurie at "Park Avenue Summer".  This is a picture of Bridget before she puked her brains out.  We had to carry her out of the restaurant somewhat naked after the episode.  Don't worry she was smiling almost the entire time.  Unlike her mom who is now sick in bed herself.

On our way to and from Buffalo we stopped to see Maribeth and Amelia.  Here a picture of Amelia sharing her toys with Bridget.

With the cousins- Kacey and Marie.

These are pictures from our pool party with Betty, Kristin, Liz, Dom, Jennifer, Hannah, Ava, Elle, Amie, Emilie, and Jay.

Ellie loved eating the food.

Jay was the only boy in a sea of girls.

Bridget and I also stopped to see Katie, Jim, Mrs. Spillman, Ben, and baby Grace.  Bridget was out of sorts at this visit so here is a picture of Ben and Grace with Katie.

Moriarty's Wedding and More

We are home for Matt & Vanessa's wedding. It was on their property in Ellicottville- a beautiful setting and ceremony. Here are some pictures from our visit so far.

North Jersey and 9 Month appointment

Last weekend we went to Jersey City to visit Matt's cousin Kyle and her family.  We enjoyed a delicious brunch with the adults, and Bridget liked splashing in the pool with Jack.

Today was Bridget's 9 month doctor appointment.  She is now 19 pounds.  She's in the 50th percentile for weight and head, and the 75th percentile for height.  Sounds good to me!

9 months old

Bridget is 9 months old today, so here is an update.  I believe she said her first real word, "up".  Although Matt thinks that dada counts, I disagree.  She has 4 teeth now; 2 on the bottom and 2 new ones on top.  She can now put little puffs into her mouth, although 90% of them land on the floor and stick to her clothing, which is too messy for me!  She is always making noise and is constantly on the move.  Her crawl isn't exactly textbook, but she can get where she wants to go.  It has been a fun month!

Bridget and I met Beth at P.F Chang's in south Jersey yesterday.  It was Bridget's first time sitting in restaurant high chair.  She's so big now!

Here are some shots of her waking up and playing today.

Some videos

It's July

My lilies are in bloom!  They are the best part of the garden.  Here are some pix with the lilies.

I'm trying to get Bridget to pick up food and eat it with her fingers.  It's just not happening, but she likes to pick up the plate.

Beth and Morgan came over to swim before they headed off to Canada for the summer.  Morgan and Bridget are 17 days apart and it was the first time the 2 of them met.  Morgan showed Bridget how to eat yogurt melts and Bridget showed Morgan how enjoyable it is to float in the water.
