Colter Ray 6 months old

We head to the doctor for his 6 month appointment next week so I will have numbers then but for now here is a little synopsis of him at 6 months:

Weight approx- 18lbs

Length approx- 27 inch

Diaper size- 4 but I have been putting him in 6’s because the back is higher and this way he doesn’t blow out.

Food- tried pears and bananas last week and love them

Milk- still 100% breastfeed

Sleeping- two longer naps and sometimes a few cat naps. At night he goes to bed around 7 and wakes around 7. We feed on and off depending on the evening but overall sleeps through the night.

Cryer- only when he wants me.

Accomplishments- can sit up on his own for a few minutes before rolling over.

Laughter- when his brother plays with him and blows on his tummy and rib bones!

**Has two cute little dimples that melt his daycare teachers hearts.

He is a strong, growing healthy little boy. We are so blessed to have him. Keep on growing little man

Fall Soccer

Our big boy started fall soccer league two weeks ago.

His team name: Puppy Dino’s (how cute, they made it up at practice)

His teammates names: Bridger, Benny, Cohen, Cameron, and I don’t remember the other two.

New League Name: Nampa Premier Soccer

Division: U4 (finally he looks like he isn’t the smallest kiddo)

Jersey Number: 22

The first game was fantastic.

He played his little heart out.

As daddy would put it, he gave the other team a smack down.

Sure there isn’t much competition at that age but for him to be able to turn and take the ball down to the goal by himself, with no assists, it’s pretty amazing how agile he is for only being 3.

Here’s how the first game went.

We arrived and we were the blue team.
Coach Karla put in 3 players and Bridger sat for the first 6 minute quarter.

The green team had one kid who was pretty good and made two goals by the time the quarter ended.

Ben leaned over to me and said, “ I bet you when they put Bridger in that green team won’t know what to do.”

Sure enough it was time for Bridger to go in.

He kicked that ball all the way to the goal.

Not once, not twice but 6 times throughout the rest of the game.

Us parents, we weren’t excited, ha! We were thrilled, jumping up and down!!!

They all did so good.

Auntie B, and Grandma came out to watch and of course snuggle on our little baby!

We had a great time watching our big boy.

And have I mentioned how much we enjoy our Saturday mornings out at the soccer field!

MeMaw and Papa came to visit

We were lucky to have my dad and his wife come out for the long weekend over Labor Day. We started off college football the right way with these two! A few beers and an all day event at Beef O Brady’s for the Nebraska football game. Man it was a good game against BYU, but at the very end Taylor Magnum threw the game winning pass to score on the Huskers. That loss hurt! But man did we have good time.

Memaw and Papa stayed home with the boys that Friday while Ben and I went to work. When I arrived home, much to my surprise, they had cleaned up the house, put the boys down for naps and were excited to go downtown to Boise for Flatbread and BSU football. Having multiple hands help out makes my job so much easier!!!

The weather was as it should be for college football. Cool, crisp and breezy! But as Idaho weather would have it we were back into the 90’s the following week. I am so ready for Fall weather.

While Memaw and papa were in town Bridger had his first soccer practice with Coach Karla and 6 other boys! He was a champ, him and his pal Benny rough housed a bit too much so Benny’s dad had to calm them both down during the HOUR long practice. In the back of my mind I thought an HOUR for 3 year olds, that crazy but boy is it nice to bring him home and put him to bed right away!!!

It’s always great having family out to visit us. We miss them and will hopefully see them soon.
