Bryce & Brennon

This weekend we went to see Nanny Stewart in Maulden, MO.  We had such a great time.  It was a very relaxed weekend.  First of all, Maulden is the cutest little town.  It is everything you think of when you think of a small town.  We went to a parade the first morning.  Then later that day we went to the museum that Nanny and her friends have put together with old Air Force memorabilia.  It is the neatest place.  There are so many people's memories in one little room that the atmosphere is almost overwhelming.  It's definately moving.  The next morning we went to Nanny'ss church and you could not get enough of her.  You giving her kisses all through church.  Of course we ate great food the whole time thanks to Nanny and just had a wonderful trip.  Grandpa and Grandma Allen and Uncle Jason went with us.  I hope to get pictures posted soon. 

I cannot believe it!  You are 10 months old.  And you are more fun than ever.  You are the most loving little fella!  You just give hugs and kisses to everyone...even people you don't know.  You don't meet a stranger.  You think everyone is just wonderful.  Here are a few updates for this month:

Foods:  You will not eat baby foods anymore unless you're at school, somehow they can get you to eat it!  For me you eat all sorts of table food.  From macaroni to green beans.  For breakfast you eat a banana, grapes, and toast.  At lunch you eat baby food if you're at school, if you're with me it's usually a veggie.  For dinner you usually eat a veggie and a starch ( potatoes or bread).  For snacks you eat cheerios, toast, or fruit.

Naps:  You usually take 2 short naps a day, one before lunch and one after.

Teeth:  You have 1 1/2 teeth, one isn't completely in yet.

Clothes:  You wear 12-18 months clothes.  With the exception of some of your 9 month clothes that are stretchy.

Diapers:  You have just moved up to size 4 diapers after a few messes made by wearing the 3's.  Big sign that it's time to move up!

Words you say:  You have a very large vocabulary.  In the last 2 weeks you have started saying puppy, Bryce, baby,and ball in addition to the old ones: dada, mama, and byebye.  Along with lots of baby talk that noone can understand.  You are trying to say "love you" and "peekaboo" with your daddy and I being the only ones that can tell that's what you're trying to say mostly b/c of when you say them.

Favorite games:  You love to play patty-cake, you will clap and mumble like you're singing then throw your hands up when it says "throw 'em in the pan".  You also play peekaboo.  You hold a blanket, towel, or your silky over your face and then pull it down with a big smile and we'll say peekaboo as you try to mumble it.  You're so much fun.  Who would've thought that how much fun it would be to play such simple games?

TV:  You like to watch tv, pretty much any cartoon that's not got too much going on in the way of colors and patterns keep your attention.  You mostly watch Baby Einstein movies and Dora the Explorer.  You really rarely watch anything else b/c I don't want you watching too much tv.

Favorite toys:  balls, cars, anything with wheels for that matter, TAD your learning friend (it's a little frog that sings and teaches colors and numbers), ducks, and anything that makes loud noises.

I just love you lots and can't believe how amazing you are! - Love, Mommy

We had their pictures made the other day. If cute babies and naked rears offend you, turn away.

I want to apologize for not posting much on your blog the last month or so.  You keep me so busy!!!!  I have had more fun with you in the last couple months than I could have ever imagined.  You seem like such a little toddler.  We've been planning your first birthday party even though it is still about 5 weeks away I'm so excited.  You are so verbal and active.  If you hear us saying something, you try to say it back.  Your new words are "Bri Bri" for Brianne, I'll sing you the first part of the ABC's and you'll sing "ABC"...., and you will turn the pages of the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" until you get to the page that has a yellow duck on it and point and say "duck".  You know alot of people by name and if we ask you to say their name and you can't you just turn and wave at them.  I just am amazed at all the new things you do daily!  It's something new everyday.  The reason that I don't post things as often lately is b/c your daddy's been out of town alot, and you and I have been on the go.  I don't like to stay home by myself all the time.  So, I'm sorry to everyone that is so faithful to read the blog, but I can't promise that I'll do much better, but I'll definately try.
