Things to do with a baby in Denver



Bridget has been a woman on the go these past few months. Not only did she make two trips to Denver, but she also got to see Laguna Beach, CA (a future blog post) and she turned 4 months old.

Her first trip and first flight was in early August for Sarah's wedding shower. She was a champ on the flight there and had a little bit of a tougher time on the flight back. That may be from all the action she had, which included meeting several new friends (Ben, Evelyn, Owen, Lizzy, John and Jace), making a trip to Boulder to see some of Mom's old coworkers and Aunt Sarah, checking out some food trucks with Aunt Meghan, brunch at Nonnie and Papaw's house, meeting Mimi and Poppi's friends, visiting the Denver Art Museum, meeting the Colorado Phillips (Sean, Jane and Owen) and Cousin Jeff and more.

Bridget's second trip to Denver was in early September for Aunt Sarah and Uncle Mark's wedding. Her second trip was equally as eventful and this time Dad/Mike got to join us. It's amazing how much difference a month can make. She went from napping anywhere and everywhere, to fighting naps to socialize and she has become so much more observant. It made some of the busyness a little trickier, but we still had a great visit.

So far, her fourth month has brought a lot of amazing moments, including a lot of "talking", her first real laugh, many attempts at rolling over, grabbing at everything, which is immediately follow by her sticking it in her mouth, finding her feet and smiling all the time. Mike and I are having so much fun with her and I think some of her four month pictures really highlight how much she's changed. Not only is she growing like a weed, reaching the 90th percentile for height and weight, but her personality is really starting to shine through.
