Let's Play Catch Up

It seems like forever since I posted last.....well, because it has!! Geez! It has been crazy around our house. Here is what has happened the last month or so. We will back up to May 15th, 2009. That was the night that we had our Twilight Party. It was a BLAST!! We had dinner, played Twilight games and watched the movie. During the night....Bryson woke up crying and was inconsolable. I noticed that he was so HOT....we took his temperature and sure enough, he had a high fever. We thought he was just sick because he had been battling a cold all week. The next day I was playing with him and noticed a little itty bitty tooth. HE CUT A TOOTH!!!! It was his bottom, middle one. So cute. He still was sick later that day, so we took him to the Dr. and he has Bronchitis and a double ear infection! HOLY HANNAH....poor kid had a rough time!! Later that week he got a tummy bug, and then the following weekend....he cut another tooth, the other middle bottom one.

He had his 9 month check up 2 weeks ago and he weighs a whopping 16 LBS and is 24 inches long...just a little guy!! The doctor said he looks good, other than the eczema that he has under his chin and neck, but hopefully he will out-grow that. His OT (occupational therapist) said that she would like him to have his eyes checked because his neck isn't tight anymore from the Torticolis, but he still favors the one side, so she is wondering if he has double vision or something. So our Pediatrician referred us to Dr. Affleck and we go see him on June 29th. He has a follow up hearing test this week....hopefully things are still good :)

Since he started crawling....he just goes EVERYWHERE and gets into EVERYTHING!! He does not like to be told NO...he has a temper, and I hate to admit, he gets that from me....his daddy is the most easy-going, patient person I know....so there is no way he got the temper from him. He is pulling himself up on standing....the OT wants him to be walking along side the couch and coffee table within the next few weeks....and the way he is going, I think he can meet that goal.

He will be having his 9 month pictures taken this next Saturday, so I will have some to post soon. He is getting so cute and his smile and laugh are so infectious. Anyone who has been around Bryson know how his smile goes from ear to ear and his laugh is like music to the ears. At least to his family's ears....we love him so much and can't remember what life was like without him. We are truly blessed to have him in our lives and he was so worth the wait!!
