10 months old

Bridgette is into everything which means my eyes need to be on her at all times or she gets herself into trouble. She is definitely my accident pron child. Just this week she wants to walk around holding just onto one of my hands. She will play peek a boo with herself by lifting up her shirt and she will open up her arms really wide when you tell her she is sooo big. Very cute! And the fairly tale continues with Ella. Its hard to keep up with her characters throughout the day. She changes costumes many times a day and don't get me started with how many times we change shoes. On Monday, Ella took her first ballet class. I cried through the first half because I was so proud of how well she was following directions. Since she liked the class so much we went and bought her her first pair of ballet shoes yesterday and now she really thinks she is Angelina ballerina.

Call me Angelina please!

All Ella wants to do these days is dance and pretend she is either a fairy princess or Angelina Ballerina (she is a little mouse who wears a tutu and loves ballet). The only books we can read are Angelina ones. I am questioning why I bothered to pick out any other books the other day at the library. Thankfully Nana picked up a couple of new tutu's before her visit last week. We needed back ups because Ella insists on wearing her tutus pretty much all day, even to bed at night. She also got some new shoes at Nordstroms last weekend. She fell in loves with these pink sparkle shoes. She likes to try and wear those to bed as well. If you look close you can see them in the first picture. Oh and top of that Ella asked to be called Angelina. Sometimes thats the only way she will respond. She'll say, uh excuse me, can you call me Angelina please? How do you say NO to that, at least she is polite about it.

B's 9 Month Stats

I was a late taking Bridgette in for her 9mo well visit b/c she had a cold last week and I needed to find a new pediatrician closer to where we live. Bridgette is over her cold now and just drooling like crazy. Another upper tooth popped through and I can tell another one is trying too.

The doctor was very pleased with how healthy Bridgette is:

90% for weight- 21 lbs! Yup never misses a meal. *Ella only weights 26lbs

70% for height

28.5 in. long



Bridgette is starting to cruz around furniture and just today I found that she climbed up an entire flight of steps by herself. She loves to chase after Ella and Avery. She can even say, Dada, Ella and all done. I'm still waiting for Mama to come out of her mouth.

This might explain why she is in the 90% for weight.

Looking for Ella.

My drooly baby, notice how wet her shirt is. Poor thing!

Hands on Childrens Museum

Since we have moved up North there have been so many fun activities to do with the kids. Last week we went to Sky High which was this trampoline jumping facility. They had a toddler room full of these square trampolines with lots of padding everywhere. At first Ella was hesitant to jump on them but only after 34 min. of being there did she finally step foot on one by herself and JUMP! In the mean time all Bridgette wanted to do was crawl on them and jump with me. We all had so much fun that we can't wait to go back. Yes, I got to jump too!!
The next day we went to a near by Children's Museum with some friends. The little boy in the picture below is Ethan he is the same age as Ella. It is fun to see them play together. They both really like Cars.


Imagining what flavor of ice cream she was going to order.

She found a raccoon which she'd to think was a cat instead.

They had a huge section for 0-3yr old. Bridgette and Ella played a long time in the flower patch.
