She turned one! I can't believe it's been a full year since she was born. The time went so fast. We had planned on her first birthday party being last weekend, but we ended up canceling it due to the virus. I actually made the decision to cancel a few weeks ago, and it was hard at the time beca[...]
I continue to try to combine the baby and the horses. One day I'm going to get this to work. I bundled up Bridgette, and took her outside once again. This time she understands more of what's going on, and I'm pretty sure she remembers the horses. She was pretty happy to see them. "Hello, horses![...]
So, wow, I've come to the exciting time of having a mobile baby. She's past the "lay there and look cute" stage, she's got a lengthy agenda of things to do, and no time to just sit around. She is constantly on the move. She just learned to crawl. As in, yesterday. She was taking little bitty crawl[...]
We spent another holiday at the beach. This seems to be becoming a trend. I'm practicing my landscape photography and collected quite a few photos. Here are my favorites. Feels like going to summer camp! If only the horses could go... but the HOA says no horses. She[...]
Time slips away so fast... It's been so busy, I hadn't even noticed how long it's been since I posted! So I decided to share pictures from my Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is for family time, so we packed up the baby and the dogs and headed to my parent's new house on the Cheseapeke Bay. They ha[...]
She's become so big now! She weighs so much, and she seems to take up my entire torso when I carry her around. Man, they get big fast! So, here's what she's up to as a 6 month old: She practices her vocals a lot. Screeching is her current favorite. Sometimes it's one startling screech out of n[...]
This is the most exciting development since baby was born - I can now bring her down to the barn! I finally put up some fencing to make a little area where Bridgette can sit in her stroller and be safe from the horses. It's not complete yet, as it turns out it is harder to put up than I thoug[...]
She's five months already!? How is this possible!? She doesn't even seem like a baby anymore, just a small person. It may seem weird to describe her like that, as she clearly still looks like a baby, but she has become so big, and she seems so intelligent. I'm sure every parent says their[...]
It's been 4 months now since I had Bridgette. It feels normal to have a baby now. I'm getting used the title of "Mom." Before, only my mom was Mom. She's still Mom, but I am also Mom. We both share Mom. Routines have been established, and I feel like I'm part of a unofficial parent club[...]
We had so much fun the last time, we headed down again to see family, and spend some time doing the touristy things. The baby didn't get to meet all of the family the first trip down, so that was a priority this time! After family time, we went to the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge. I hav[...]
