Zoo
The weather has been very interesting lately. One day we are freezing and scrapping frost and the next we are running around in t-shirts. This past weekend was one of those warm weekends so we took full advantage.
On Saturday, Bridget had her first playdate. We spent the afternoon with some friends of Ted’s and their newly adopted daughter. She turned one on Sunday so the age difference is only six months. The girls played pretty well together though there were moments of not sharing and some tears on Bridget’s side. They are still feeling each other out but I do think we have a friendship blooming.
Ted planned to attend the last VW campout of the year, but it was not to be. He made it about halfway before the Single Cab broke. I don’t understand what is broken but he says it is fixable. Bridget was beyond giddy to see Daddy when we got home from her playdate, so we are wondering about sabotage. Might explain that grease behind her ear.
Sunday, we decided to visit the zoo. It was Bridget’s first trip. With the exception of the butterflies and penguins, she seemed pretty bored. We just enjoyed the lovely weather and a chance to do something fun. Bridget was fascinated with the penguins swimming by her and then tried grabbing the butterflies as they fluttered around her. I think we will spend a lot of time visiting those two houses during future zoo visits.
I’ll post some photos later of her adventure.
And finally, she did have her six month appointment earlier in the week. Bridget is now 27 inches and 19 lbs. That puts her in the 95% for her age, but her BMI is in the 75%. That means she is growing well and at a healthy rate. It also means she is mostly wearing 12 months clothes.
