Photo shoot with Uncle Parker

I like to have my camera with me at all
times in case the baby does something
super cute.

When I leave for work I just leave the camera
in the diaper bag.

This is what I usually find when ever B
goes to Grandmas and Uncle Parker is home..

Hanging out for a bit on the big girl chair.

She always has all her toys every where when she goes to Grandmas.

Lucky girl gets to chew on Uncle Park's phone.

 This must be why it takes him so long to change B's diaper.

 More phone chewing. Yum.

She sure loves him.

Pound for Pound Challenge

So I don't know if you guys know this or not,
but I am a huge fan of The Biggest Loser. 

Some of you may have watched BL before 
and some of you have probably not. 
If you have watched you may or may not have heard
about the Pound for Pound Challenge they are doing.

Here are the details:

1 in 6 Americans struggle with hunger.  
For every pound you pledge to lose through 
May 31, 2011, the Pound For Pound Challenge 
will donate 11¢ to Feeding America — enough to 
secure one pound of groceries on behalf of local food banks.

Everyone these days is focusing more an being
healthy and getting to their ideal weight.  Why not help
others at the same time?

I have set up a team for everyone to join.
Go to the Pound for Pound Challenge website and
click Pledge Now.  Then just search for our group
"Merkley Clan" and join! 

Get everyone you know to join our team so
we can lose our way to the top!!  Even if you have
no weight to lose you can pledge to maintain your weight
and Feeding America will donate 55¢ in your honor.

What are you waiting for?!  Get pledging!!

Gettin' ready.

B loves to help me get ready in
the mornings.

She loves to copy mom.

Brushing our teeth.

And brushing our hair.

Did you notice all her toys sitting
in front of her untouched?  She would way
rather play with mom's toys.

Busy body!!

Bridget has always been a very busy girl.
As she is getting older, she is getting busier!!

She doesn't really ever hold still...
And she is a pretty fast learner.

First she learned how to do this:

Which means there is a lot of this going on:

She can also do a little of this:

Which usually leads to this:

And her newest trick:

This baby is turning out to be a lot of work...
Good thing I love her :)
