School Picture

Family Pictures!

It's about time! The last family pictures we had was when I was prego with Bridger. I had the most difficult time narrowing down the pictures to my favorites. Our photographer, Nicole Cropper, was awesome! She's great with kids, and very affordable! Thanks Nicole!!

Silly September

"I want to show Mamah that I can fly for zero seconds!" Natalynn, talking about how she jumps off the couch.

"I won a candy for sister. I wanted to win the teddy bear for sister." Bridger really loves his sister.

Did you see the elk? "Yes, there were many of them." -Bridger (How did they learn to speak so properly?)

Chinnie can now whistle. She's very excited.

I still like to pretend to bite Bridger, like when a baby is so chubby that you just have to bite him. I was chewing on his pudgy little arm when he said, "I don't want you to make me into a gummy worm. I don't want you to make me into a food."

When Bridger comes in to snuggle in the early morning, I squeeze him good. He tells me not to squish him, so I tell him if he's in my bed he gets squished, or he can go back to his own bed. "Ok, you can squish me."

Chinnie tells me she has 7 loose teeth.

"Daddy, there's a lake of milk on the table!" -Chinnie

Bad words

"N"
(gasp!) What did they say?!
Knife

First Crush

"There are 2 Ethans in my class. Ethan M. and Ethan H. Ethan M. is cute. Ethan H. is the cutest in my class. He's really really really really really REALLY cute!"

She tied Ethan H's shoes for him. He said thank you.

She said she was going to tell him he was the cutest, and he would say thank you. I can't bring myself to follow up on that. I don't want to encourage this "relationship" by asking too many questions, but I still want to know what happens with this little romance. Is it time to give the, no boyfriends until you're 16, talk?

I'm just glad she isn't calling him "beautiful" like she did the full grown man on a movie she watched.

She lost it

The tooth came out! It's the first time the tooth fairy will be coming here.

This is also the day Chinnie learned how to start out herself on a two wheeled bike.

B Man's first day

Bridger had a great first day at preschool! He had to take his backpack and his lunchbox, though there was no need. He had no problem leaving me or sister, which is a little surprising because he never goes anywhere alone.

But he loved his first day! His teacher, Miss Melissa, said he had no patience for coloring, which is SO Bridger. He talked about his bike and matching black helmet during introductions. He loved all the songs.

He had told us so many fun details. We didn't expect our boy to be more talkative than our daughter, but he sure is!

The only bad part of preschool for Bridger is that it's only two days per week. He wishes it was as often as kindergarten.

Pictures coming soon

So much...can't keep up

Shoe tying. Loose teeth. Bike riding (no training wheels). Kindergarten starting. Rope jumping. Phone number memorizing.

Why can't this girl just slow down for a second! Stay little for a few minutes longer please.

P.S. Just found out that chini in hindi means sugar. How cute is that for a nick name? And she made it up when uncle Isaiah was in India!
