9 months

Tim is officially done with his first year of law school.  He did great!  Actually, he surpassed both of our expectations (and mine were pretty high in the first place).  We could not have been happier with our decision to go to law school and we've never looked back.  He has now started his first internship at Canyons School District and is really liking it.
Bridger's first tooth is still in the process of coming in.  This made for one ornery baby.  Luckily he is still sleeping through the night.  I'll have to remember to get out of his way when he comes at me with an open mouth.
A toy that Bridger used to chew on has, for no apparent reason, become something he completely fears.  I put it in his lap the other day and after looking at it for a second, he picked it up and threw it across the room.  I decided to put the toy in front of the entrance into my room; Bridger hasn't been into my room since...problem solved.
This past month has definitely been my favorite being with Bridger.  He is such a little person - with his own cute personality.  In the morning, he will explore the apartment, pull himself up onto EVERYTHING, get a better view of the place then fall back and explore some more.  He gets into his working mode near the toys and diapers and can stay busy for a good 45 minutes without even noticing me. When he is tired, he'll whine and then I'll give him his blankee and we'll settle in the rocker for a few minutes before he falls right to sleep in my arms.  I think it's the combination of Bridger's age being easier and the incredible weather but I am feeling so content being a mom to the cutest rollypoley boy and wife to the most amazing and sweet guy.  Life is good.  Most of the pictures below are of us on walks.  Its just so nice outside that we can't stay indoors anymore.
This was taken on Tim's last day of school.  We celebrated with Sparkling Cider that we had been saving for months.  Congrats to Tim!
