Bridger's Blessing Day March 1, 2009

Grandpa Jimmy, the biggest baby hogger of all time.

What a fun day it was to see our first grandson get blessed.

Jake gave Bridger such a beautiful blessing. What a lucky little boy to come to such great parents. One man in their ward bore his testimony and said that Brittney and Jake are "way too happy."

Bridger didn't even know he was the star of the day. He was perfect all through the Sacrament Meeting until he accidentally got scratched on his Grandma Nielsen's broach. He made one loud cry and then settled right back to sleep.

Our cute new grandson, Bridger arrives Feb. 3, 2009

I arrived early morning at the hospital to find Brittney just resting and enjoying herself--she had just gotten the epideral. After Bridger was born she announced that she should be a surrogate mother because she could "do this every day."

This is just seconds after he is born. I was so lucky to get to see the birth. We all cried when he was born and we heard that first little wail of life. It's such a miracle!

Here he is, his perfect little self. We couldn't believe how alert he was from the first minute.

Yep, that's a Hart head all right....could even be in the 95th percentile.

Bridger gets his first kiss from his mom.

The proud mom and dad.

I get my first chance to hold my first Grandson.

Just making sure we've got the right baby--that does say Bridger on the tag, right?

Jim is so excited to have a little golfing buddy!

Brittney's cousin, Lindsay Smith was working in the nursery and got to take care of Bridger! Jake said it was so comforting when he saw she was there to show him what to do.

Britt's cousin, Megan Stanger, is a nutritionist at the hospital and saw to it that Brittney got a few extra treats from the kitchen.

Getting introduced to Cookie and Madie. We hope Brittney can borrow the "baby boy instructions" notebook Cookie had for Zach! Please, two nostrils at all times showing!
