Happy Halloween

Uncle Jason and Aunt Sue came to visit this weekend so they could see the Pearl Jam concert in Philly. We played Rock Band with them on Friday night, and met up with their friends at the Reading Terminal in Philly for lunch. Bridget went as a Bee and we found a great place to take a picture- in front of a honey stand!

These pictures are when I put her bee hat on before daycare on Friday morning. She was crawling around in circles trying to get it off!

Before daycare one morning this week.

Throwing a fit.

One whole year!

Bridget is 1 year old! She weighs 21 pounds 12 ounces- 55% for weight, 50% for height, and 25% for head. She got her seasonal flu shot today, which I have been struggling to get one for her, so I am relieved. She now makes sounds for blowing, whistling, and kissing. If you ask her to get her baby doll, she'll do it! She throws fits when she's not allowed to do something. We've started whole milk, which she loves, and her favorite meal is peas and meatballs, or yogurt. Here are some pix.

Jenn & Dave & Parker & Jack babysat Bridget on the night of her birthday, so that Matt and I could go out to dinner to celebrate my birthday.

Waiting for the doctor.

Pushing her doll around.

Bridget needs to control the spoons. So, once she gets her hands on one I let her keep it, and I get another one, and another one, and another one.

Walking with the stroller

Bridget loves her push toy from Aunt Sue! In one week she has really mastered walking with it. This footage is from last weekend, when it was still a new toy.

Bridget's 1st Birthday Party

Before I post pictures, some more daycare woes. On Tuesday Bridget was bitten at daycare again, by the same child, who must remain anonymous. Didn't get a picture this time, but it was just as bad as the first bite with a big dark bruise again. AHHH!

Moving on, we drove home on Thursday night for my cousin Ryan's wedding which was Friday night, also Matt's birthday. On Saturday we celebrated Bridget's 1st Birthday a week early. It was a gorgeous day to be on the canal. Bridget was happy and really loved her banana birthday cake the best of all!

Busy Week

It's been a crazy week at school, and home, and now we are preparing for Bridget's 1st birthday party. She's still fiercely independent, and into everything. Not walking on her own yet, but here are some pictures of her eating.
