Bridget is standing in my lap and begging to write a blog of her own right now. Either that, or eat my pile of post-its.It's been another month (already?) since I've blogged, and Bridget's on to several tasty, homemade foods (I love the book Top 100 Baby Purees by Annabel Karmel) and so far hasn't rejected a thing. She gobbles up bananas, though, and makes a funny face at green beans when they're warm. She's an ambi-roller now (Zoolander reference) and has six teeth that are visible, but haven't quite broken through the gums yet (the "fangs," as Rachel calls them, on top and bottom, and the two middle teeth in the front). She now sucks her bottom lip in and tries to talk with her mouth closed ("mmm, mmm, mmm..."). She's in twelve-month clothing (except for pants--they're too long still) and only has about three outfits that fit, so mommy has to go shopping (and do laundry). She's gone to the zoo (ignored the animals, loved the kids), Music in the Park (loved watching the kids, again), and is sociable again (doesn't throw a fit when someone besides mommy holds her). She had her first ride in a shopping cart (but her butt slid sideways) and can almost sit up by herself (I think that and crawling will come soon--friends have told me that when she starts rocking on hands and knees, she's about to crawl). She loves bathtime and splashes up a storm (mommy is literally soaked by the time she's through). She loves cousins Noah and Ella (and Lily, but seems more expressive when looking at the other two). She tries to pet Mya (who's one today, by the way). And she starts daycare in two and a half weeks when mommy goes back to work! (I'm teaching one class and getting ready for my exams starting in September. I don't want to hand her over and miss the majority of her waking hours, even if she is going to be with family!)
Finally, she's getting crabby and hungry since she didn't nap today and it's been almost two hours since she finished her mid-afternoon meal. Here are pictures! Maybe I'll even blog again later this month, but if not, more in September...
