Music Man, anyone??
Okay, well, we definitely have a little troublemaker on our hands here. Bridget has developed a personality bigger than her 17 months. She is in for a huge shock when two more babies make their way here in a few months, as she is a definite Mommy's (and Daddy's) girl, who loves to cuddle, hates to eat, and loves to sleep in our bed - every night. Our room might not be such an attractive option with two newborns wreaking havoc - maybe things will just correct themselves in that department soon enough. She's also very dramatic, emotional and high-maintenance! I actually took her with me to my most recent round of doctor's appointments rather than leave Sara with a baby that would probably scream for two hours, which is what happened last month.
As it was, she cried every time a doctor or nurse attempted to even touch me. And, right after they would leave the room, her crying would stop instantly, and she would go back to eating her Goldfish and reading her pop-up book in her stroller. Lovely. This was especially convenient during a 30-minute ultrasound.
As for our eating issues, this babyish girl sure likes to prove that she can do everything her big sister does. We recently figured out that Bridget is over her high chair, after every meal involved hysterical crying and a stubborn refusal to eat anything on her plate. She now sits on a booster seat with her own place setting. She's a new girl!
But, as you can see above, she's not quite so smiley on demand anymore. Her favorite expression when the camera comes out is this one, a darling one when attempting to get a good Christmas card shot!
Lest you think she's a troublemaker all of the time, she is a very loveable little girl. Even though she only sleeps for an hour on her own at naptime, she will go back to sleep if I lay down with her on our bed. She is the reason I'm able (rather, forced to) take a little nap every day and get the rest I wouldn't take on my own. And, she's already a good little mommy to her dolls - she loves to read to them and sing them songs. She'll be a very doting big sister! I'll leave you with some recent cute moments.
And, there's no description for this picture. It's just plain strange.

The Santa picture made me laugh out loud!!!
You definitely captured Bridget to a T!
ha ha... nice Bridget update. Tommy is over the high chair as well... he eats on the run! Glad to see she's enforcing your nap time, Shawna. Let us know if you need a break over vacation. Maybe we'll go read Christmas books at the Library?
