Bridoodle received this adorable kilt from her aunt M and uncle J for Christmas. They lived in Scotland for a year as missionaries and brought this home for a present. Today, she rocked it out in the church nursery.

Her favorite lovey these days, Baby, gets to travel everywhere with her. We take Baby to daycare every day and to church. (Although this morning I forgot to grab Baby on the way out the door and since church had already started before I’d finished buckling Bri into her safety harness, I didn’t go back. I think the whole neighborhood could hear the wails for “BAAAAAAAAYBEEEEEEEE” on the way to church.)

After church, I wanted to grab some pictures of Bri in her new kilt, so she and Baby modeled for me. Baby’s pretty good at sitting still. Bri – not so much. She did enjoy showing Baby the view from our window.
Then she hopped down from the couch and brought a favorite DVD over to me. “Watch Elmo Burthday?” She tilted her head and batted her eyelashes at me. I snapped the camera a few times hoping to catch that expression. She turned away annoyed and marched over to the DVD player. Then she pushed the open button, removed the current DVD and put her Elmo Birthday DVD in the slot. I sat there open mouthed before I realized that I should take a picture. (Hello? Nobody would believe this otherwise!)

She was so proud of herself. And so was I. My baby girl is growing up!

LOL – looks like you have an independent little girl on your hands. I think my little guy would try the same thing IF it was in his reach. Bri is gorgeous
Wow! She’s incredibly self-sufficient.
What technical prowess! How long before she’s wanting her own studio lights?!
So I was just thinking that when she graduates high school and they do those picture videos at graduation and stuff– all of her pictures are going to be so professional! These are really great! Looks like she is still enjoying her kitchen, I think that thing is so cute!
