Bridger is ONE!!

Can't believe this guy is ONE!! His birthday is June 26th but we waited till tyty got into town to celebrate it on the 30th!  This kid makes me smile all day long... He is such an easy kid to love and be around.  He seriously has been the best kid from day one... what a blessing he has been to our family.  We all love him so  much... i think i can even say that Parx has learned to love him too :)  I even catch them playing together now.. it still ends in tears about 50% of the time cuz he is so rough but Bridger just loves his brother so much!  Parx can always make him smile and laugh and we love it.  

Just a little about big Bridger man... 

WORDS: umm pretty much nothing other than, "Hi" 

WALKING:  Not even close... he is a master crawler and i think that's all he wants to be haha.. started crawling about 8 months

FOODS:  He will eat about anything.. loves yogurt.. sweet potatoes/squash/carrots... all fruit.. and still loves baby oatmeal and rice cereal.. He absolutely loves suckers and sweets so i try to hide those! He is a little more picky than parx though... goes through spurts of hating things and then loving them.. i'm all confused most of the time!

SLEEP:  This kid is a sleeper.. takes 2 naps still that are about 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours long and sleeps through the night a solid 12 hours.  He is awesome!  

FAVORITE TOY:  Any ball... he loves throwing balls and chasing them... or playing catch 

This kid loves his family... He can be really shy when we are out in public... won't always smile at the random person at the grocery store!  At home is a whole different story.. he is so happy all the time and cruises around all over the house having the time of his life! 

GROWTH CHART as of 12 months

weight: 20.5 lbs... 10th percentile

length: 28.25 inches.. 10th percentile

head:  86 percentile.. BOO YA!

Summer 2012...June vacation

Summer has just begun and we have already been around the world it feels like!  Ty's Brother, Brad got married on June 16th so we drove to Bear Lake for their big day... That meant a sweet LONG drive for the Johnston crew!  So i decided to stay in Logan with the kids and hang with some of our favorite people... Jess, Ken, Hailee, Taya, and Brendan!  We had a blast and stayed there from sat-thurs and then were off to Boise for the next 9ish days.  Here are some pics of Utah!

Brendan loved squirting everyone with water...

                                                           The GALS! Minus Jess...

The kiddos... minus Bridger who sleeps his life away! I think they probably ate a million otter pops..

                                               Hailee's tricks...

                                               Taya's Tricks...

I did tricks too but those don't need to be posted for everyone to see!! And then we were off to Boise where we had a blast as well... Parx says he doesn't like Moses Lake anymore he just likes Boise! Oh well.. he will  live!  I didn't really take any pics while we were in Boise until Bridger's birthday party!! That will be my next post!!

Parx bike riding!!

Mr. Parx is such a little stud... he learned how to ride a 2 wheeler last month!!! It took a couple days but now he is a champ..here are some short videos of the learning experience!  

We had a lot of these falls...

And then we met our good luck charm... some random guy walking down the street! After Parx showed this guy how he can ride a bike it was smooth sailing...

Now I need to get a video of him riding all over the place... I forgot they are all on my phone! And since my phone is ghetto I can't get them on here!

And... this is what Bridger did while we taught him how to ride a bike... sat in a stroller getting pushed up and down the street!!

Now Parx can make it all the way to the park and back with no troubles... well except he has to fall over to stop still haha but it's a soft landing (usually)!
