Brigitte at 1 year

Our sweet, happy baby Brigitte will soon turn a whole year old… which makes me sad and happy at the same time. I don’t know where the time goes, but here we are again- she’s just learning and growing so much. She’s the happiest baby I know, always smiling and content. I can see part of her little personality coming through already- she’s mellow and patient, sweet and kind. She’s the perfect fit into our little family. I just love my Bridgie baby.
