Asheville fun




Our little family returned from Asheville this weekend and had the most wonderful time! Bridgette was a perfect traveler--sleeping all night long and playing all day long! Grammy Kay spent the first night with us at Biltmore Residences (amazing place to stay), then Grandpa Marty and GB stayed the last two nights. We visited Belle Chere, the Grove Park Spa, and many wonderful eateries. If you have never eaten at the Laughing Seed Cafe- you are really missing out!
Bridgette is learning so many things- she is a sponge. She signs for "Milk" when she is hungry, she waves "bye bye", she grabs her toes when we read her book that mentions her toes. She really is an amazing baby. She plays peek a boo a lot and really giggles when she is hiding from you. She loves to act silly! She babbles all the time. Then she reaches for that left hand and sucks her thumb when she gets upset or tired. Precious. She gets soooo excited to see the pugs- thinks they are the greatest!
When we got home, Grammy Nina and Pawpaw Marshall were waiting on us--they can't wait to play with Bridgie and WHO could blame them?? We spent a few days together playing and looking for them a suitable place to call HOME here in East TN! WOOHOO!
I am just so happy and thankful for our sweet little family! Bridgette is getting so big. 9 mo old pictures tomorrow! Can't wait to post some of them!!!!

Our little angel turned 9 months old yesterday! WOW!! She is growing so quickly! We are just such a happy family.
What's little Bridgette doing nowadays?
*Crawling everywhere
*Cruising on furniture at every chance
*Drinks from a sippy cup
*Picks up small finger foods and puts them in her mouth
*Says Mama, Dada, and Baby
*Will crawl to me when prompted
*Starting to understand "no"
*Sleeping better (YEAH)

She has a special word, "Doiden, doiden" hahaha. She says this frequently. She's our little Eastern European child.

teething....





Most of you know we had a wonderful trip to Kansas City and Kirksville! We got to see family and friends! Here are a few pics!



Well let the fun begin! Bridgette is getting her first teeth- yes TWO at a time! She is a little bit more fussy than usual, but nothing too terrible. Still sleeping, thank goodness! :)
Her bottom front teeth are coming in and she is biting everything!
As usual she is an absolute doll. I love her very much! She is really getting into everything. Her favorite place to crawl is ONTO the treadmill!
