Catch up.

This post will be long...as usual ha ha. :) I don't think I could write a short one if I tried. Anyway, I totally missed an eight month post for Bridger, and now he's 9 months old! Geez. Since I last posted on him he has learned to crawl SUPER fast, stands and crawls up on everything, can crawl up and down stairs, has eaten a lot of new foods (his favorite snacks are baby cheetos ha ha) and is saying da da! He loves touch and feel books...actually, he loves books in general. He has gotten so silly lately and I just love his cute little personality, he is always playing little games with me and loves to be chased, it's adorable. :) He is a little bundle of pure energy, has the cutest rolls and dimples, adorable smiles and huge beautiful eyes that he can get anything he wants with. I am constantly on the move, but I am really grateful that I can stay home with him...I love him. :)

We also went on vacation, we went on a Western Carribean cruise for 7 days that was absolutely amazing, and MUCH needed. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to but that's alright, at least I got some! So we flew down to Miami the Friday before last and stayed overnight, then boarded the ship Saturday, we had a couple of sea days where we got to relax and tan, the other three days we stopped in Cozumel Mexico and toured the Mayan ruins on the beach, Grand Cayman and swam in bathtub clear (and bathtub temp.) ocean water, and Ocho Rios Jamaica. It was SO hot. everywhere. There was 100% humidity so we were constantly soaked! Our favorite place was Grand Cayman because the beach was sssoooo nice. The sand is so fine that it feels like flour, it's crazy, and the water is like heaven. Bridger loved it! You could see right down to the bottom and in the really deep water it's just a really deep deep pretty blue. When we got back to Miami on Saturday we went to the everglades and went on an air boat ride, it was a blast! There were alligators in the water right next to us...kinda creepy...we also saw an alligator show and Jeremy got a picture with a baby alligator called "Snappy." He wasn't going to, but I made him...and then he was glad I made him because he thought it was cool ha ha. :) He also tried alligator and shark. He is quite the adventurer...Everyone on the cruise loved Bridger. I am not used to people giving him so much attention because where we live everyone has like four kids, I forget that outside of Utah people don't get to see babies as much. They would play and talk with him and tell us how cute he is and we would have to stop everywhere so people could talk to him on our way to places...he would just soak it up, it was funny, especially on the elevators.
This is kinda sad...and it was a little embarrassing but American Airlines broke the stroller we brought with us and wouldn't reimburse us (L.A.M.E.) and we didn't have time to get a new one before we left so we used that little three wheeled stroller all week long! ha ha, I have to admit that it was better to have a three wheeled stroller than NO stroller though. It looked hilarious, if I had seen someone pushing that stroller I probably would have laughed in my head at them. Everytime we used it I was laughing because it looked ridiculous. By the way, Bridger did awesome on the flights! I was so proud of him.

Pictures from our trip...but I have to get the mayan ruin pics from my parents (we forgot our camera that day :s)...

This is as the ship was leaving Miami. :)

 My parents on the air boat in the Everglades in Florida. It was really cool flying over the grass/water and seeing alligators. :)

 One of the alligators that was in the water with our boat...kinda creepy!!

 We were walking along an OPEN trail and one of the guys pulled this gator out of the water right in front of us! It was like hissing and stuff...I was scared ha ha, he had to kick it in the face like four times to get him back in the water...then he sat there and watched us still. :SSSSS! This one was 13 feet long. That's huge for an alligator.

 Jeremy trying "gator bites" for the first time...he said it tasted like fish/chicken...

This is what happens when Bridger helps mommy pack...most everything gets pulled out and put back in at least twice. :)
