11 MONTHS OLD

Oh my gosh time is passing so fast!
Here are a few things this little angel is so good at doing:
* Can take 4-5 steps on her own, but cruises EVERYWHERE if someone will hold onto her
*Walked around saying "Guk, kak-kak" translation "Duck! Quack, quack!" yesterday after a visit to the Ftn City Duck Pond--too cute!
*Signs for milk when she wants some
*Points to her toes, nose, mouth, head when you ask
*Recognizes the words "dog, cat, wave, toes"
*Says mama, dada, ball, baby, bye-bye, and many other unrecognized words haha!
*Has the most infectious and beautiful laugh I have ever heard! :)
*LOVES table food and will rarely let us feed her! She loves to feed herself- what a big girl!

She is so smart and sweet! I love her so much!

Bridgette's first day at school

I finally got pics from Bri's Mother's Day out! She is such a big girl! Her friend in the pics are Rory from down the street! Her father took these pictures and brought us copies! You would know that I forgot my camera.

Trav's surprise Party

We had such a wonderful surprise 40th Bday party for Daddy Travis!!! The Hilton was perfect and the fireworks were amazing! I was sooo pleased. Bridgette did so great! Here are a few party pics!

Some video for you

Bridgette has just started walking while pushing her toys! She is loving the ability to get around when she wants.
She is also standing on her own- but doesn't like to find out that she isn't being supported! haha. She is growing up very quickly! Starts Mother's Day Out Preschool at our church the 31st!
Here are a couple videos to enjoy.

Funny girl

Bridgette just completed 20 mins of "squiggling" on a bed: she launches herself face first into the pillows, walks her legs in with her hiney in the air, pivots and launches herself again! It's hilarious!

3rd Anniversary at BLACKBERRY FARM!!!

Travis and I have been married 3 blessed years and 2 days today! To surprise me for our anniversary, Travis arranged 2 nights at Blackberry Farm! In the husband category, this is the equivalent of "going to the front of the line" in grade school- in other words, major score. I was blown away! It was absolutely blissful. We stayed in a beautiful cottage in the woods, were catered to day and night, had our own golf cart to travel around the property in! Nothing short of luxury--have I mentioned the AMAZING food?
The only caveat? It was my first night away from Bridgette! She was fortunate to spend the evening with Grammy Kay, Papaw Billy, and Aunt Momo--and the rest of Newport from what I hear. It was quite an event! She did really well...Mommy did well too! I really missed her, but it was so nice to just be with my true love for an entire night! Bridgette did join us on the farm later, but that was after a couple of gourmet meals and a couple of massages that were heavenly!
When Bridgette arrived, we were really excited for her to see the working farm. She saw Chickens, cows, cats, dogs, roosters, sheep, horses, and butterflies! She was most excited at the horses! She also had gourmet freshly made baby food (although Daddy swears she always eats gourmet food :).
I suppose we missed the real world, so we came home earlier today. It was such a lovely treat! Can't wait to go back next year! ;) HINT HINT DADDY ;)

Pensacola!!!

The Fawvers just returned from a lovely vacation with the Bailey family--20 in all! Bridgette had a wonderful time playing with everyone. Unfortunately I don't have many pics yet, but here's a video!
