Bridget

I just have to write a little about Bridget. She has really come into her own these last few weeks. I am not sure if she seems more grown up simply because we have a one week old in the house or because, she really is growing up. I think it is a combination of both.

She is such an easy going baby, well an easy going baby with a temper. She literally walks around the house picking things up and taking them from place to place. She really spends much of her day walking around. She is always ready to go somewhere. If she hears us talking about leaving she will head right over and grab her coat and be ready to scoot out the door. If you leave without her, enter temper!

She laughs easily and wholeheartedly. And she really is beautiful. She has a smile that just makes you smile. She loves to eat, a lot. She also now knows what the other girls are getting, and she too wants whatever they have. Do not try to give her the plain donut while the other two get sprinkles. She knows it. And she lets you know it!

She is really smart. She can't really talk yet (She says Mama, Papa, Jay, Oh uh, and Quack). But she can comprehend complex directions. She also knows to throw out her trash (something her oldest sister forgets) and put her dishes in the sink (or sometimes the trash). She will get a yogurt drink out of the fridge, then get a straw out of the cabinet and bring it over to you. And again, she throws it out when she is finished!

She gives big hugs to her friends. Today she started giving big hugs to Kerri. It was quite cute. She even rubbed her head gently, or as gently as she could.

B doesn't sit still. She is always going. She loves to climb (Mine and Sean's DNA must mix to form some type of climbing tendency) everything. She stands on the back of chairs, railings, strollers. You name it, she climbs it.

B really is a great gal. She is fun and spunky and sweet and sassy. I can't wait to see this personality develop. I think we would be friends! I hope you always know how special you are to me!
