Life With The Turners

Well hello there. . . 

Our house is a disaster right now I have all of my sewing, scrapbooking and crafts out. I am on a DIY-ing high right now you could say. I just have so many things I am making, including a ton of Christmas decor.

Aaron hates when I do this, he can not stand the mess but when I am actually producing projects and getting them finished instead of just letting my stuff sit I think he doesn't mind as much.

{Binkie Holders}

I can not even believe how easy these are to make. You can seriously make one in 5 minutes. I love them I can not believe we have gone this long with out them. They seriously make life so much easier. 

 These are not all of them I have made. I am kind of obbessed I need one for like every outfit and especially with the Hollidays here and I so excited to make festive ones.

Bridger mostly enjoys chewing on them.

 We had to go back to the Dr's for Bridger to get his immunizations and so glad daddy got to come with us this time. Bridger did really good he only cried for 10 seconds and then he was over it. He is such a stud.

This was before the shots. He did not know what was coming

Yes that is spit up. This is the real deal of parenting.

{Thanksgiving}

It was such a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was our first Thanksgiving as a family and I could not be more grateful! I love our little family so much and I am so thankful for Aaron and all of his hard work he does for our family. I seriously could not be more blessed!

 We were down at Aaron's aunt and uncles house for Thanksgiving this year. We shared it with the Llamas :) They are so funny I was dying.

It is not a Robinson Thanksgiving with out skeet shooting

 I love mornings! I have always been a morning person and I enjoy them even more now because I get to wake up to my little man. He is also such a morning person and I love it. I love that he does not cry when he wakes up. He just lays in his bed and grabs his feet and talks and laughs at himself. That is seriously the best thing to wake up to.
I always love taking a peek over his crib and when he catches me looking at him he is nothing but smiles

Bridger has finally started rolling over in his crib now. Just makes me a little nervous, he has yet to do it in the middle of the night. 

I die at the faces Bridger makes, he seriously cracks me up.

His little foot in this pic is just the best.



 So I usually don't like doing videos on the blog but this one I can not resist. Yes I am being "that" mom in saying that he seriously is the cutest baby ever. He really does love the camera so much and this proves it. He loves seeing himself. I love on IPhones how you can switch the screen so it is facing you so you can see yourself to take video or pics. Bridger loves when I do this and this morning he was laughing and going to town with it.
Take a look. . .

The best is when I play the video back to him he does the same thing. He just thinks he is the funniest baby

Little man is happy up until right before bed. This is what we like to do when daddy is at work.

 

{Happy Weekend}

Doctos Visit.Target.Cereal

Here are my twins, both rocking the Jef-with-one-"F" hairdo. We are big fans around here. :)

This little man is quite the nut case. I love his little faces he makes 

 {4 Month Check Up}

My little man is growing up so fast. I say it all of the time and so does every mom out there but it is very true. I swear it was just barely his 2 week check up. Where does the time go?!

Bridger was born a big baby but now he is starting to slow down. He only gained about one and a half pounds and grew only 3/4 or an inch. Which his doctor said is totally normal. I guess babies start to slow down around 4 or 5 months. He seems to be on the smaller side of the scale now.

 

Weight- 14.97lb- 29.86%tile
Height- 24.75in- 18.99%tile
Head Circumference- 16.25in- 27.1%tile

He was so happy at the doctors

I also discovered Bridger's new obsession while we were there. He is a foot sucker! Seriously he was going to town licking and sucking on his foot. He kills us. :)

Love waking up to this happy little face

 

Tis the season to go to Target! I love Target and I thought Aaron working there would be a good thing but we seem to spend more money there now than what he gets paid. It is a serious obsession of mine. I could go to Target everyday and just spend hours there looking, especially now with all of their Christmas stuff out.
We did go for a stroll today, it was the first time in a while that I have been there. I feel like I relapsed LOL. I did however come acrossed the cutest elves while we were there. . .

{First Time Eating Cereal}

The doctor said we could start Bridger on cereal and I was so excited. We added a little sweet potatoes so it doesn't clog him up to bad and I am so glad that he LOVED it. At first he wasn't sure what to do, so he would let me spoon it in and then in came his hands and he would suck the cereal off of his hands. Since obviously the only way he knows how to eat is to suck he did this up until the very end until he started to get the hang of it with out his hands. The only downfall that I did not realize would happen is Bridger has had an upset tummy. Poor little guy is getting used to digesting this "new food" hopefull it will only take a couple of days to get used to.

First bite. . .

 We took tons of pictures and in all of the ones with me I either had my mouth open or I was sticking out my tongue, subconsciously doing it, ya know so it would help Bridger. :) Don't you love when that happens.

 

He seriously loved it 

Guess who else loved it? Burrows. That little stincker could not stay away. As you can see he got a few licks in.

The finished product.

Lessons learned:

1. Get better bibs
2. Letting baby eat solids is messy
3. But it is a fun messy
4. Mama and Daddy get dirty too
5. Not a fan of the orange color of sweet potatoes, can you say STAINS

Baby Its Cold Outside

Well it seems winter has hit and I am loving it. I am so excited that it snowed but along with the snow comes the cold. So we have been inside for the last week it seems, nothing to exciting. But don't let that fool you. That is just an excuse to take even more pictures inside :) We have yet to take Bridger out to play in the snow, not that he could do much. We definantly need to at least let him eat some snow. I guess that will be on this weeks agenda. EAT SNOW.

Crazy it is already the middle of November. Christmas is going to be here before you know it. But we can't get to Christmas with out Thanksgiving and I am so excited for Thanksgiving. I love a delicious Thanksgiving meal. So excited, especially for Bridger to have his first Thanksgiving.

 {Look-alikes}



 This is probably the one picture of me that looks the most like Bridger. He is obviously Aarons child.

{Aaron 11 months left, Bridger 4 months, Jess around 4-5 months, right}

 Bridgers new face. I love when he does this

Bridger loves his toys

{nevermind the spit up on his shirt, this kid spits up 24/7, he goes through so many clothes} 

 

 {Ikea}
We love Ikea and I think Bridger does too. He loves to look at all of the colors and all of the things in that store. Seriously we love Ikea!

So handsome

 I love taking pictures of my sweet sleeping baby.

It is either a toy or his hands that are in his mouth. There is always something.

Burrows is warming up to Bridger, he will come and hang out with him when he is awake now. He still boltz out of there when Bridger drops a toy or starts to cry but at least he is warming up to him.

They kill me.

 Lovin those cheeks, he seriously loves the camera.

 {Cousins}
Bridger got to spend some time with his cousins. Paetyn is so sweet. She just adores him. She is a great big cousin.

 Storytime. So sweet of her to read him his book.



4 Months

Crazy I have the cutest 4 month old baby around! He is getting so big I can not believe it! I love every little stage and how he is not so fragile anymore. {we love laying on the kisses}.  We love every bit of this little man!
Our walk today in Daybreak may or may not have turned into a 4 month photo shoot

Bridger here are some happenings for your fourth month:

• You love to grab things now, {especially mama's hair} I love watching you grab your toys and books. Once you get a hold of them it goes straight into your mouth. You still need some practice but you grab and hold on to things pretty good.
• One of the things you love to grab most is your binkie. You pull it right out of your mouth and then you get so mad your binkie is out of your mouth. I can't help but to laugh.
• You eat EVERYTHING! That is no joke, if it is in your hand it is also in your mouth and if there is nothing in your hand to put in your mouth then it is usually not one but both of your hands shoved in your mouth.
• You love to laugh and we love making you laugh. You are so ticklish and you love when we blow air in your face you think it is so funny.
• When you get mad or ornery you have this scream that is like nails on a chalk board. You can scream and yell so loud. When you are mad you also lock your knees and lift you back up. We call it the "back breaker" You for sure let us know when you are not happy

 

• You now notice strangers full time. When someone you don't see very often is holding you, you get so sad and pout out your little bottom lip. It is so sweet and so cute to see.
• We have learned the hard way you don't like big, loud crowds. Of course we realised this on your blessing day when you cried the entire time. You defiantly don't like to be out of your element.
• You are a little talker. I love in the mornings when you wake up and you just lay there and talk and play with your feet/brace. You are defiantly a morning person.
• You make the funniest faces now and you make them all of the time. My favorite is when you pucker you little lips together. It kills me.
• I think you are teething, not only do you always but everything in your mouth but you bite down on things and drool all of the time. I am just waiting to see a little tooth breaking through.

• You defiantly still love your binkie. You get so excited when you see it. You love when we play airplane with it, into your mouth.
• You love to watch videos on mama and daddy's phone or even the computer or T.V. The other day when you were a little bored and fussy I played "The Gummy Bear Song" for you on my phone and you were in a zone the whole time. {Great you are addicted to technology already}

Love my boys

{Brace Update}
We went in for a check up on Bridger's brace, they just wanted to make sure we were over the hump alright and to check his foot to make sure it wasn't turning back in. We were very happy to tell them we were over the hump and Bridger was back to loving life. We were also very happy to hear his foot looked great and our next appointment  on Jan 2 he would be done wearing the brace during the day and only at night. We seriously can't wait for that, his brace is such a pain to maneuver with. His brace seems a lot harder on us than him.



Bridger loves to play with his brace. We often find him in this situation. He loves to eat it. He is a little nut case :)

{Rolling Over}
This is one of his first milestones and I was one proud mama. I didn't see him the first time he did it. I just turned my head and when I looked back he was on his tummy. So I flipped him back over and sure enough he rolled over. He has been doing it ever since.

He seemed to be one pround baby that night. He loved when he would roll over. He would talk and laugh a little and get so excited that he made it to his tummy.

{Cute Cousins}

Taylee and Bridger are only 3 weeks apart. Hopefully they will be the best of cousins. For being pretty much the same age they are definantly two different babies. I didn't realize how much of a boy Bridger was until he was compared to her.  She is so quiet, girly and petite and Bridger is so loud, he growls all of the time. He is consantly moving and just can't sit still for a minute. They are about the same size but Taylee is so much lighter and petite and Bridger is so solid.

They definantly are the cutest!

We are going to have to try again with this picture thing. Couldn't quited get them both to look and smile at the same time.
