9 months old

You are now 9 months and alot of fun!  You talk alot and are very active.  I love to play with you.  You still eat 7 oz of formula 4-6 times a day.  You eat oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, a veggie and juice for lunch, and a veggie/meat dinner at night.  Then you eat oatmeal again at bedtime.  You eat fruit puffs, cookies, and toast for snacks.  You are around 19 1/2 lbs.  You have started getting frustrated b/c you really want to walk but can't quite do it yet.  You love day school, your passy, your silky, and dogs.  I could go on and on but not alot of major things have changed since last month, you are just getting closer to walking and say alot more words or should I say gibberish!  I love you - Mommy

We had a great time this weekend.  We went to Daisy, AR to visit Nana and Papa.  Rachel came down from Benton and we got to spend some time with Uncle Simon, Aunt Betsy, and Austin too!  It was a lot of fun!  We went to the Pine Tree parade and Festival and just goofed around in their new pool....it was a splash of a time! ;) - Love, Mommy

I even had to call 911 one night.  Then, the rescue unit came and told us that you were probably just teething...and guess what?!  You do have a tooth coming through on the bottom (finally).  Anyway, after that whole fiasco I finally relaxed and had a great time and hopefully made up for all of our poor spirits the first couple of days.  Brady and Jeff cooked some killer hamburgers, Lili and Danielle indulged me in some great conversation, and Maggie gave lots of hugs! Jef and Lili brought their dog Rudy and you loved him! It was so cute how you would chase hime and he would run from you, however by the end of the week, he had warmed up to you and Maggie and would let you guys pet him. The house we stayed in was gorgeous and I got lots of home decor ideas. I had so much fun with everyone. It was just a great trip and I can't wait until next year.  Vacationing is definately different with a 9 month old but fun.  Thanks for all the good times guys!

A visit from Grandpa!

img_Aug_24_2005_43_17 Grandpa came over for a visit before our beach trip. He was so excited to see Bryce. I'm pretty sure by the grin on Bryce's face, he was glad to see him too!

1st tooth

Little Bryce finally got his first tooth!  He is so cute..figuring it out, rubbing his tongue on it, and he's getting another one in beside it.  He is just acting so much more like a toddler and it kind-of saddens me.  Even though I'm proud of all his accomplishments and think that he's so brilliant, I don't want my baby to become a toddler...it's just not right...he should still be 4 months old, let me rock him and take naps on my chest.  His one year birthday is not too long from now, I'm planning it and thinking of all the things to buy, and that's where I want to keep my focus of the occasion...b/c thinking the reality that in 2 months he will be a one year old is not fun!  But until then, I will sneak in as many little baby football holds and cuddles that he won't squirm out of.
