Thanksgiving

We decided to spend this Thanksgiving in Pocatello this year so that we could spend Christmas with my in laws. It also happened to be my brother-in-laws birthday on the same day. Bridger had a blast! We decided to do it at a church house because there really wasn't enough room to have everyone together and it worked out great!! We all enjoyed the food and the time to spend together. It was freezing while we were there and we got a flat tire in the walmart parking lot the night before we were supposed to head out but we made it, and it was great!

Bridger Graduated!

On November 24, 2010 Bridger finally graduated from his helmet. I was ecstatic! No more cleaning with alcohol, no more mandatory daily baths, No more random people staring at my son instead of just asking what was wrong, no more worrying about it ever again! He had his helmet on for 12 weeks exactly and I'm so pleased with the results. His plagio started out with a 16 mm difference (the difference from one side of his head to the other. The goal is 0 so the head is even) and ended up with a 2mm difference with normal being 0-3! I'm so proud of my little boy and I'm glad I was able to keep up with the helmet and left it on when I so desperately wanted to take it off. Congrats Bridger!!


This is the before and after pictures of his head. The before is actually on the bottom and the after is on the top! His head is now round!!

Our new cloth diapers!

They finally arrived and I couldn't be happier. These diapers are a lot cheaper than the other ones we had been using so we decided to buy 6 and give them a try. We were gone Friday and Saturday in Rexburg seeing the new Harry Potter movie and the roads froze, so we didnt get home until Sunday and they were in our mail box!
I love cloth diapering and Im so glad to be able to add more diapers to our stash.

When you don't want your peas...

We made the mistake of letting Bridger try some of our pancakes with syrup at dinner so he no longer wanted his peas. He spit it into his hands and rubbed it everywhere! In his ear, in his hair, in his eyes...it was um, lovely!
Here are a few pictures of getting ready to get cleaned up.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!...in November...

Well apparently Mother Nature decided that winter officially started on November 8th this year. When I woke up yesterday it was raining and then it started snowing and it snowed all day until I went to sleep. This is what I woke up to! Im excited for the snow, as long as I dont have to drive in it!

First Bubble Bath

I don't know why I hadn't thought to give Bridger a bubble bath sooner! But on November 1st we decided to try it out and he loved it...after getting over not knowing what was in the tub with him. He had a blast, and I got soaked...as usual! Benjamin went into our room during his bath so picture is Bridger trying to figure out where Papa went. I have a feeling we will have more bubble baths in the future!

Alameda park "Trick-or-Treat"

On October 30th, we decided to head down to Pocatello for the Halloween fun at Alameda Park.
Bridger was all dressed up in his lion costume (which he wasn't too sure about) and my mom gave him his first sucker (which he loved!) There was lots of people there and we had a blast! Cant wait to take him trick-or-treating next year when he can walk and not just give people high fives for the candy!
