Busy...but not sure how

Ever since we moved here, we haven't really gone out and done things like we used to always do in Beaumont, we were always on the run and always going someplace. We were never home. But, I guess we haven't gotten back into that routine since Ryan is rarely home. Somehow, I still feel like Bridger and I are always busy and I don't have enough time to get everything done in the day! I used to even work out every night, and can't seem to fit that back into my schedule again. What up with that!?!




I love this babys eyelashes! He has such amazing eyes!!!


I guess one major down fall is that I don't get home till 5:45 - 6:00pm. Bridger takes bath at 6:30. Most nights we go for wagon rides, or go across the street to my moms to eat or let Bridger play and be out of the house. After dinner, bath and bed. I have dishes...dog duty, and pick up of the house. Than of course I am still updating the house...painting...decorating ,etc. Also, I want my "alone" time of sitting on the computer looking at blogs or browsing Facebook for no good reason. Its boring, but I still do it. So, where in there do I fit in working out.....or even updating my own blog? OH and all by being in bed by 9. It doesn't happen.

Somehow I need to move things around and fit running and working out back into my schedule. I can't wait to be done with painting. I love painting....but it takes up so much time! I still have 4+ rooms/areas left. I will get there!!

So for exercise, I am walking the stairs at work. It is awesome. I work on the 12th floor so I have plenty to walk. Also - no more gummy worms! Those things are addicting!

Bridger and I spend our weekends with grandma, usually shopping and running errands. Every day is different with B, sometimes he is so good and others, he is terrible.....screaming and embarrassing me!

Ryan is finishing up this job out of town.....I can't wait until he is done and can come home...or at least lets hope he can come home. He is completely stressed out and working his tail off! Last night he didn't sleep for over 24 hours! And still - he drove home this afternoon and has been sleeping. Hope he can have a couple days off after this job is done. We will just be happy to be a family all together again!!!

Halloween is coming and I have no idea what Bridger is going to be. A lot of the costumes I have seen have some sort of hat that Velcro's under the chin, there is no way Bridger will wear that! Ryan hasn't really been here for us to go look together and decide, but I am excited to get him something and take him trick or treating! Although I don't see it going well, but I'm still excited!
I have already gotten him 7 Halloween shirts and 4 Halloween jammies, there is something about kids and holiday wear...I am obsessed. I think it is just adorable! As soon as October gets here I think that i can finally break it all out and finally decorate for Halloween/Fall! My FAVORITE time of year!!

I can't believe that my baby is only 9 days away from being 16 months. I swear next time I blink he will be 2. They really do grow so fast. He is so independent and head strong. I love everything about him, sometimes he is hard to handle, but I wouldn't want anything less. He has been pitching more and more trantrums lately, and all I can do is ignore him. I tried to understand what he was wanting, but it would make him even more angrier.

He gets so mad that he pinches me as hard as he can and makes the meanest face. Than he pulls my hair. I think he has a hard time expressing his frustration and anger. ha.

I have been getting him to say more and more words everyday. Currently, my favorite is turtle...or in Bridgers words - "durdle". Its the cutest thing!! He always ends every word with a high pitch. He is trying to learn how to drink out of a cup and is doing very well! He likes his food on his plate or bowl and if you hand it to him first, he will put it on the plate first, than eat it.

I am still loving his daycare, actually even more. I finally looked at their daily schedule posted outside the room the other day, and I love how detailed it is. They write everything down, and are seriously doing something every 30 mins. They do so many activities, teach songs, bible study and chapel. They go for stroller walks and play in the gym or outdoors. They haven't given any to us, but I have seen some arts and crafts they have done sitting to the side. I am hoping they give us parents those eventually, I seen Bridgers very first finger painting! They do different activities to practice hand and eye coordination..and so much more. I could go on and on...I have even noticed since being in daycare, he now constantly sits down and grabs one of his books and "reads" it. I know they do a circle story time, but he is always pulling out books at home now!!

He does cry every morning, and I am not sure where it is coming from. Maybe becase the other little boy cries? Hopefully he out grows this crying soon!

So we are still around, busy busy, but with nothing too exciting to explain the chaos! =)
