Grandpa and Grandma R met us at the mall last week and bought Bridger a new suit for his baptism. It was slim pickings because he was very particular in what he wanted (and what sizes the store offered). He chose an all black suit and a fancy black and silver tie. He looks SO handsome and grown up!!!! I love this close up picture of him because it shows how he's missing one of his front teeth. One of the front teeth is already coming in. Bridger is full of sunshine! He loves to smile and be kind to others. He's a very good friend. He's still taking piano and is improving each week. He loves to play "farm land" and "clash of clans" on my iPad. He's very into any iPad game. I think he would play it all day if I let him. He and Chase will still play playmobil together. It makes my heart so happy to hear them playing playmobil together. They will play Monopoly for hours! They also like to play Phase 10 and Uno Attack. Bridger is really improving his reading skills. He likes to read "Little Bear" and his favorite books are the Magic Tree house series. Bridger is very inquisitive! He likes to know what's going on. If you're talking to someone else, he'll pop up and say "What mom? What's going on?" He likes to be in on things.
Chase likes to play "Farm Play" and "Clash of Clans" on his iPod. He's very into iPod games. He and Bridger like to play the wii together. Their favorite games are Mario cart, Lego Marvels super heroes, and Disney Infinity. He's still playing the piano. We've been really bad about lessons this summer. But I love to listen to him practice his songs. He loves sports!!! He was in heaven this summer watching the FIFA world soccer cup. This summer he's been practicing basketball, soccer and lacrosse. He goes out everyday and practices soccer. He's very dedicated. He is such a great helper with Tanner. He and Bridger will babysit Tanner while I go for bike rides in the morning. If I'm busy, he'll just sit and hold Tanner and put Tanner on the ground and stay by him. Chase loves to get slushies for a treat. He would get one everyday if we would let him. Chase is so good to read at least 30 minutes every morning. He usually reads in his bed before he comes downstairs. He loves the Michael Vey books and the Animal Spirit series. This summer we've been ready Henry and Beezus. I love reading with the boys. It reminds me of all the times mom used to read with us. We had some great memories reading together!
I think Chase and Bridger look so handsome in their church clothes. They look so grown up sitting in the chairs. The boys love to wear "sport" clothes. The days are gone of dressing them in matching gymboree clothes. Luckily they were good about wearing matching outfits for the casual pictures.
Our sweet boys!!!
I wanted to get Tanner's 3 month old pictures done before Chase went to camp next week. So I was a little early but at least there're done now. I was so happy that the photographer was able to capture a few of Tanner's smiles. I was worried that Tanner would be really ornery because he didn't get a good morning nap. But he had a little cat nap right before pictures and it was enough to tie him over. Plus the photographer was really efficient and was able to get some great pictures!!!! Tanner is the happiest in the morning. When you go to get him out of his crib, he has the biggest smiles for you! It makes me so happy when he smiles! Sometimes he can be so serious and there is nothing you can do to make him smile. He drinks 6oz when he wakes up in the morning and sometimes before bed. Otherwise during the day he just drinks 4oz. He's so funny because it doesn't matter how much you feed him, he always cries when the bottle is finished. He gets so mad when he realizes that the food is all gone. Once he calms down and gets a good burp out, he turns back to his happy self. He loves to snuggle. I've tried to work on a nap schedule a little but we've been so busy it's impossible to be consistent. So we'll work on that when Chase and Bridger go back to school. Tanner takes the best naps when he's snuggled in your arms. But for right now, I'm soaking up the snuggling! He likes to sit in the swing for shorter periods and watch the "owls" above his head. He does great in the bouncer chairs! He takes lots of naps in those. When he's had a good nap, he likes to lay on the floor and stretch out. He likes to look at Sophie when she walks past him. He even tolerates her wet kisses!
I think Chase looks so grown up in this picture. He likes to wear his hair very short. If I would let him, he would have a buzz all the time.
Bridger and Chase are best buddies!!! I love the picture where they're looking at each other and smiling. They have such a neat connection. They are very kind to each other. They love to play soccer together. They will go out in the backyard for hours and have penalty kickoffs. Their favorite show to watch on TV is American Ninja Warrior. They would watch the reruns everyday if I would let them. After a couple times of watching an episode, I make them delete it. They play "Ninja" all around the house and backyard. They are very strong!
I love this picture of Bridger because I think his personality shines through. I love his big smile!
Bridger is so excited to turn 8 next month. It's a big birthday because he'll be baptized in September.
Holly gave these sweet little shoes to Tanner. They finally fit him. I love how tiny his little feet are. Chase and Bridger are very into their Nike socks. I wanted a picture to remember this "sock" phase that we're in and show the different sizes in the boys.
