More Bridget Tricks

Okay, so call me sentimental, call me crazy, but here's yet another post about Bridget. Maybe its because her father has so heartfully asked for more Bridget videos and pictures on the blog. Whatever the case, you get to enjoy this bit, too! Bridget received a Curious George doll from her Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Adam yesterday- it was supposed to be Christmas present, but I didn't know that before I gave it to her and I don't think I can hide it from her til then! Anyway, she has learned to "give hugs" to her dolls, and I caught her hugging George last night.

Isn't it cute? Sorry its so dark. We are having such a wonderful time in the great Northwest. Bridget seems to do or say something new everyday! Her word vocabulary has come up to please, thanks, that, this, juice and doot. The last one will only make sense to you if you know my family- it is an interjection of great disappointment. She also is very close to standing up all on her own. She can go from a stand to a squat and back again. I am so amazed every day by the things she has pretty much taught herself just by being observant of us! She also has developed some great TV likes- Elmo and Dora, much to daddy's dismay, as well as a little show on Disney called Johnny and the Sprites. We're going to miss going back home and not having a DVR to replay all her favorite shows whenever she wants!
Anyway, here's a parting Bridget picture:

She is crawling away from all of us in the TV room, with my purse slung over her shoulder. She thought she was getting away with something, but all the important doors down there were closed, and there wasn't anything exciting to play with. But maybe it was the thrill of the escape.
