Bridger 6months

The cutest little cheeks ever!

Mother's Day we decided to take a family photo.

Bridger loves to stand up, so we bought him this new toy. We were being silly and put his pants on his head. (silly mommy!)

Look Mom NO HANDS!!

At Bridger's 6mo appt he was
Height 27in - 72%
Weight 17lbs 12oz 57%
Head 45cm 83%

Bridger is learning to sit up on his own. He will scoot across the living room floor on his back. He learned to blow zerberts in the air. He loves grabbing his toes and playing with them. He is still a very happy and easy baby. He has learned that when he hears a squeak from the door that mommy or daddy will show up soon and he will greet you with a BIG SMILE and start kicking his legs like mad! (even if he is supposed to be asleep!)




Still hasnt mastered sitting up yet.

Bridger swimming

Today we went to the Cowabunga Bay waterpark. It was barely 70 degrees today, which just so happened to be the nicest day we have had in a while. We knew it was too chilly to enjoy the park for long, but since we have season passes we thought we would go try it out and see how Bridger liked the water. He LOVED IT. He didn't like the big bulky life vest so much but everything else he loved.


We had fun splashing in the water and I even took him under the water to see how he would do. He never cried - hopefully he will enjoy the water park all summer long.

Happy Mother's Day

This is why my Mother's day was so great!



Because I get to wake up to this face every morning! What more could I ask for?

Dark ages

Yesterday we got a notice telling us that our electricity was going to be turned off on Saturday between 8am and 4pm. (yes I paid my bill). They are doing maintenance and have to turn off the power. Why on Saturday when more people are home and will be inconvenienced?

Don't they know that it is May 1st and that I need electricity? Don't they know that I have to get beach reservations at 9am sharp? STUPID PEOPLE - what is this the dark ages - how am I supposed to survive without electricity all day?

Growing up too fast

He is growing up too fast. I thought I would create a collage of all his month pictures. I didn't have an actual picture of him with a 1month sign but I chose a picture from around his 1st month date. He has changed so much so fast.

5 months old. . .

Bridger is now 5 months old.
Here he is on his rocking cow he got from his grandma Meemaw.

Bucking Cow - hold on baby!


He is getting stronger and stronger by the day. He has mastered eating his mush and loves it. He has also had sweet potatoes and bananas which he loves too. He will start giggling now when you play peek a boo with him. When we do a fake little laugh he just laughs and laughs like he wants to be a part of the fun.

This week we have initiated project "sleep through the night". Now that he is 5 months and eating solid food before he goes to bed, we figured he can sleep through the night. He goes to bed at 7pm and normally he wakes up to eat around 11 or midnight, then again at 5am. We decided the midnight feeding had to go. The first night he cried on and off from 10:30pm to 2:30am. It is so hard to let them cry, I know it is best for him (and us) to get him to sleep through the night, but it was not fun seeing him sad. The second night went much smoother, he woke up at 2:30am and fussed for less than an hour. He never really cried, it was more of a squaking/talking.

Tonight is night 3 and hopefully it will be even smoother and he will sleep through the night with out any fussing. By the weekend he should be sleeping through the night and everyone will be happy campers.
