Truck Day

We went to Truck Day on the Common and Bridget enjoyed checking out all the different vehicles, games, and treats.

Look how strong Ken is!

This was Bridget's absolute favorite vehicle - the bus. She didn't care if she was driving or sitting on it but she didn't want to get off.

Zoo Trip

The carousel was Bridget's absolute favorite part of the zoo. She loved that she was sitting "by herself" and the gentle up and down ride.

The zoo had a really neat section where you could feed the little birds and they would land on you and let you hold them. Bridget kept saying, "Come here birdie!", "Eat your supper birdie!"

I just love this picture. She had fun on the little playground area at the zoo.

Bridget adores monkeys and she was interested in these gorillas. This one was the mean Daddy one and I think she was a little wary but curious nonetheless.

Patriots and Playground Fun

We had some friends over for the first Patriots game. Bridget's naptime worked out perfectly so that Ken and I actually got to watch the first half of the game. We also visited the playground after the game ended.

Here's Bridget, Hana, and Joey just arriving at the playground. Good thing the Dads pulled this wagon the whole way.

Speaking of the Dads... here's everyone decked out in their Patriots gear. I guess we need to get something for Bridget to show her colors too. :)

Bridget and Joey sitting in a wagon, K-I... or just chilling. They had a blast playing together.

New Baby's Heartbeat

Auntie Kathleen came with me to my prenatal appointment so we decided to take some audio/video of the baby's heartbeat. I love it! Since the heartbeat stays around 130 bpm, the old wives' tale would predict a boy. (<140>140 = girl)

Ken Finds Out We Are Having a New Baby

These pictures are from the end of May when we found out we were expecting Baby #2 in February 2011. (Countdown on sidebar.)


It's positive! We are having a baby!

How I told Ken. I left this note on Bridget's outfit for the day. When he went to get her dressed, I hid in the other room and caught his reaction on camera.

Ken reads and tries to comprehend the note. It is first thing in the morning plus the shock.

He's happy! Yay! We can't wait to meet Baby #2!

Bridget Napping

She hasn't napped somewhere other than a crib or pack and play since she was 6 months old! But since I was in my first trimester of being pregnant and totally exhausted too, we both sat down on the couch to watch a Dora show and then we fell asleep! When I woke up, she was on my lap and it was too precious of a moment to move her. Later she shifted on her own so I covered her up, took some pictures, and then watched her like a hawk to make sure she wouldn't fall off the couch. We both got a good nap that day though.

This last one shows just how much Bridget loves her monkey and her blue crocs. She hates to sleep without either one! She has three stuffed monkeys - Baby Monkey, Mommy Baby Monkey (pictured), and Daddy Baby Monkey. She named them. :)
