Ty is 6 months

Ty is six months and on the move.  I put him on his back on one side of the room and he rolls to the other side in about ten seconds.  If he sees something he wants, he scoots his body around and rolls horizontally until he reaches it.  This is a fun stage, but it is harder to go to the bathroom, or leave stuff out on the floor.  Ty's favorite chew toy would be any electrical cord - even if I hide it under the couch, he will roll to the couch and stick his arm under couch and try to pull it out.  Ty is sleeping through the night and wakes up around 6 a.m.  He gets the master bedroom all to himself (since there are no neighbors on his side of the wall) and Bridger, Tim, and I get to sleep in the guest bedroom with the non-working toilet.  Ty is generally a very happy baby who absolutely adores his brother.  He always has his fingers in his mouth, or trying to find something better to suck on.  I can't believe how fast time has gone.  I never thought I would say this, let alone think it, but I miss my baby.  However, I love that I'm not nursing anymore (judge all you want).  I love watching him devour baby food and gabbing to himself while I'm making dinner.   He is such a delightful boy and I love him so so much.
 Bridger is in my favorite stage right now.  He is talking talking TALKING.  He says the funniest things - Tim and I just laugh at him all day.  Bridger is so full of life and spunk and sweetness.  Yesterday, we hiked to the top of the Y.  Bridger didn't stop once the entire way up.  I really don't know where he came from, but he is a strong boy, through and through.  I adore him.
Bridger builds these elaborate cities with his blocks - over and over again.
Lately, anything that Bridger can find around the house, is his favorite new toy.  Every few days, I'll see him running around the house with a clothes hanger, making airplane sounds, flying the hanger above his head.

The Hogle Zoo

We took our boys to the zoo a few weeks ago and it was totally ideal.  Bridger is at the perfect age to enjoy the zoo.  He got so excited about every animal we saw and Ty was a perfect angel the entire time.  The weather was perfect - it started down pouring right after we left.  It wasn't crowded, so we didn't have to wait for the little train or to see the big animals.  The only downside was the dinosaur exhibit.  The zoo had animatronic dinosaurs all over the park (probably to promote the new Jurassic World movie) and Bridger was absolutely terrified, as you can see in the pictures.  I told him that if he stayed in his stroller, the Dinosaurs wouldn't eat him.  Maybe that is why our trip was such a success - we didn't have to chase crazy-man Bridger all over the place.  Thank you, Dinosaurs!
