mama's boy

Bridger has reached the age and point where he is noticing every time mommy leaves the room. Especially this weekend when both dad and I are home. The daycare girls haven't said anything about it when I leave in the morning and he doesn't have any melt downs, he is actually very excited when he sees his teacher come to the door.

But today in particular every time I walked out of the living room to go change the laundry he would melt down. I have a feeling that maybe he might just be a mama's boy ;)

We had a nice relaxing weekend! Much needed. I got up and braved a huge baby sale by MoppetTogs! I got some great deals on clothes for Bridger. He is now wearing 9 and some 12month clothes and as I was putting away his 3-6 month clothes I realized ahhh after 9 months we really don't have much. So I got up early waited in line for a little bit and scored a brand new jacket lots of pants and tops and a few jammies!

After the sale it was off to the other side of town to see family. We saw the cousins, even Bridger got to learn how to do make up by cousins Audrey and Natalie. Shhhhh.... don't tell daddy though - that's Audrey and Bridger's little secret. Meanwhile, daddy and Uncle Bill were cleaning the basil that Aunt Becky grew in the garden. Sure smelled good when we left. Next it was off to Grandma's where Bridger nap since he was so tired after a morning full of playing.

We finally got home around 4pm just in time for all the college football games. Nebraska won! Washington state lost but as Ben put it "at least it wasn't a total blowout." We were all very tired and even Bridger fell asleep around 6pm and slept pretty good till 7:45 this morning. There were a few times we got up but he was able to fall back asleep pretty well. I noticed this morning his cheeks are getting red again on the sides so it looks like I will be making a phone call to the doctor in the morning to see if we can get in with the allergist doctor. It doesn't seem to bother him or itch, but I just can't seem to pin point what exactly is triggering the episodes.

Daddy got caught snoozing

October 1st is tomorrow. Wow! It's hard to believe that on Tuesday Bridger will be 7 months old. My boy is growing so fast and each day I can't believe the milestones that he is reaching. He is so close to crawling I know that by the end of the month he will be there, I'm sure! I think he might be getting ready to cut another bottom tooth. He took alot of naps today and seemed a little extra fussy when I would rub his gums so I am wondering if that might be the culprit.

I have taken a few weekends and have been working on a Pintrest project that I came across about a month ago.

 It is finally complete and I personally think that it turned out better then what I had expected.


Three canvases in Bridger's room.

Our house is filling up quickly with lots of pictures of our cute little guy and what better way to show case him then with a wonderful personalized project from mommy.

This upcoming week at work is a short week. We have Thursday and Friday off! Hmmm what to do, what to do. It's so nice having a few days off here and there during the week. I feel like I can get caught up on things and get re energized. I am going to register Bridger for swim lessons but haven't decided yet which day would work best with our schedules TBD! But he loves the water so I know this will be a great introduction once a week till summer comes back around.

That's all for now! Have a great week and enjoy the pictures.
