Matchy Matchy

 Christine and Garrett and their little baby boy Thomas came out for his baby blessing and it was so fun to see them together. It gave me a little bit of a foreshadowing of what it will be like with baby boy #2.

 Look how cute they are in their baby matching pjs. We had to work hard to keep Bridger from wrestling Thomas. 

He gave him the sweetest kiss when he was all sad. Hopefully he will be nice and sweet with his own little baby brother. :)

Happy Ten Month Bridger and Happy 7 month to me

Being 7 months pregnant now, I have been having a hard time staying up on things. The only things I have been doing is spending time with Tay and Bridger and crafting a lot (my way of nesting :). Hopefully soon I will put up more posts, but for now I wanted to share these...

I can't believe how much Bridger is growing up and along the way he has just given us so much joy and makes us laugh daily. He is one spunky fun boy and has so much personality! As you can see from the following pictures he has many fun faces to share. Thanks again to our awesome friend photographer Alyssa Vincent

This is one of Bridger's favorite faces to make as he also makes the sound "Oh". He probably does is 50 times a day. He is very interested in everything around him.

This picture was after we took him off of the rocking chair, as you can see from below he loved it and was very content to just rock and rock...

Ok so these will be the last naked boy pictures of Bridger since he will be turning one soon, but we had to do it one more time while he was still a little baby because... well he is so darn cute naked! :)

He loves to clap and dances so cute. We will have to be better at posting video too. 

He was having a blast

Good job Bridger, making sure you're all modest. 

Once again, his favorite face!

He does this cute cheesy smile all the time...especially to strangers like he's trying to make a new friend. It's the funniest thing.

I love this one. So cute...look at those pretty eyes!

We love you Bridger and can't wait to have you share your fun personality and love with your little baby brother! 

Saved the best for last. Just tasted the trunk. I love it.

Happy 9 months!

Bridger is such a joy and I can't believe how much he has grown and developed in the last few months. He crawls all over the place now and climbs up on anything he can reach. He loves it too and is getting to be such a strong little guy.

He also has two teeth on the bottom! Here he is sticking his tongue out because he loves to feel his teeth. more pics of his cute teethy smile to come :)

Bridger is also so good at giving "kisses" and gives us many a day. Tay and I can't get enough of them and Bridger will go back and forth between us and give us all the kisses we want.

Having fun with family and friends! (Cousin Brady above, Girlfriend Charlotte below)

What a little stud!

Tried his first and only (so far) piece of candy and as you can see he loved it. (Don't worry I only gave him a couple of tastes)

Loves making different faces now and mimicks really well

Gets into everything...such an adventurer

Loves going on walks but not so much playing in the snow just yet...

He went from doing this all the time (peeking at us when we came to get him from a nap) to now standing up and holding onto the side with a big smile on his face, waiting for us to come and get him. Sometimes Tay and I race to see who can get him first from a nap because it's so fun to see his big smiling face!

Being silly and having fun are some of Bridger's favorite things to do. He is such a happy boy and always has such a big smile on his face. We love you B-ridge!

Can't stop at one...

As we were changing Bridger, he got into his q-tips on the changing table... it was so cute, we let him go all out

Look at that cute chubba! I just want to eat him!

Such a good sharer!

Now we use q-tips to entertain him often :)

Surprise Surprise!

So you may be wondering what this plaque is all about. Tay's sister got it as a spoof present from their Grandpa Nielson at her baby shower out here. Tay and I thought it was funny due to our lives at the moment so I had to post it.
Think about some of the events that have given you the biggest surprises in your lives. We just experienced one of those moments that could be on par with yours. Surprise surprise! Tay and I are having another baby boy! Due June 2nd! Yep I'm now 5 months pregnant and we are thrilled (and I think a little still in shock :). Bridger's face above gives a good description of how we all feel :). The funny thing is I didn't know I was pregnant until a month ago! Here's the story...

It all started on Tay's Bday (December 21st) when Tay and his Dad and brother in law, Garrett went skiing. That morning as they came to pick up Tay I asked Steve (Tay's dad) to see if I was ok...Tay's dad is an OB and I felt like I was having problems healing from having Bridger so I wanted him to check out my stomach and make sure I wasn't having muscle tissue build up or something (which is what I was thinking it was). He had me lay down and checked my tummy and said, "Are you sure you're not pregnant? It's either that or a big ovarian cyst" I was in shock and at the moment was thinking neither option sounded that great. Right after they left to go ski I ran downstairs and took a pregnancy test...yep positive! Even though it was quite the shock at that moment, I had the greatest sense of peace come over me and I knew that even though it wasn't in our plans, it was part of Heavenly Father's plan for us and that this baby was meant to come to our home at this time. I called Tay and told him and he was also very happy and seemed to know it was going to be positive (his dad told him that he was pretty sure it was a baby and he thought I was even 16 wks along....what?!). I didn't believe that I could be that far along and have no idea! Over Christmas break, we scheduled an apt. with our local OB and got an ultrasound. I was shocked to find out that I was 19 wks along! I couldn't stop laughing! We were able to find out the sex of the baby (BOY!) and everything! It was fun to see him and it made it more of a reality. He's healthy and the due date will be June 2nd! I always said I would love to have twins, who knew I was going to have Irish twins! ;) I have a feeling that Bridger and this new baby will be great friends. Tay's theory is that they were supposed to be twins but somehow on the way down either the new baby needed a potty break or Bridger played the old "look over there" and they got split up and now they are trying to be as close to twins as they can be. Hooray for baby boys!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I wasn't very good at sending out Christmas cards this year, so please enjoy this picture and pretend like you got it in the mail with a message telling you how much we love and appreciate you...cause we do! :)

Christmas time just got so much better now that we have a kid! Even though he doesn't understand the concept of Santa just yet, he was having so much fun, especially with having so much family around.

Taylor teaching Bridger how to open his gift

he loved to play with (and eat) all his toys of course...

...and he shared his new toys too

So this is how much he loves his uncle Nick...

...just not when his uncle Nick is wearing this. Pretty scary huh Bridger!

It was fun to spend Christmas day with the Weight family. Nick and Elizabeth above. Garrett and Christine below.

Merry Christmas to one and all. Ho ho ho!
