Bryson's Blessing

Last Sunday, November 16th, we blessed our sweet, little Bryson. It was a wonderful day, and he was oh so very cute in his little, white suit. We blessed him in our home since the Dr. didn't want us taking him to church until at least the middle of December. Bryson was full of it that day.....literally! This is how the afternoon went just before the blessing: We planned on bathing him before the blessing, after we fed him. So, I was getting him undressed, I should had known what to expect when I changed his diaper because he had been grunting and acting like he was trying to push a bus out, and holy cow....he pooped a lot. Well, before I could get his bum clean, he decided to go a little bit more, so that clean diaper was now soiled. So, I got another one out. After I cleaned him up for the second time I started doing up his diaper and he grunted and pushed......SERIOUSLY, I thought to myself......and yes, you guessed it, yet another diaper was soiled! Finally, he was done, so I got him in the bath and got him smelling good again. By the time bath time was over, people started showing up at our door. We had finished his bath in time!! Well, then he decided to get fussy......Great!! I didn't want him to fuss during the blessing, so we got him a bottle and then he fell asleep......he didn't make a peep during the blessing, Brogan on the other hand, who was locked outside, had a lot to say!! Dustin did a wonderful job on the blessing. We had our friends and family there for Bryson's big day.......it was a wonderful day and experience and we are truly blessed to have Bryson in our lives. Thanks to everyone that came and helped out with the luncheon and blessing. We have great friends and family and want you all to know how much we love you!!

OUCH....My baby got his shots!

Last Tuesday was Bryson's 2 month check up and shots. He weighs 7 lbs 6.5 oz and is 20 in long. I think he is so big! However, others might think he is still pretty small. But compared to what he was when he was born.....he is big! He did really well with his shots.....alot better than how I thought he was going to. Dustin held on to his arms and the nurse held down his legs and I was the one he was looking at.......later I found out the reason why Dustin wanted to hold on to his arms......that way, it was MY face he was looking at when he got his shots.....so he would be upset with me......I have to admit, that was clever on Dustin's part, but Bryson soon forgot and loves me even though he was shot twice in one leg and three times in the other. He cried hard for a few seconds, but as soon as the nurse let go of his legs.....the screaming and tears immediately stopped. I was amazed at how well he did....my little trooper, such a big boy! We gave him Tylenol and I didn't notice a fever or anything, so he handled his first round of shots VERY VERY well and the rest of the day he was showing off his Taz band aids......so cute! So, we are done for another 2 months, then we will play that game again. Gee, I can hardly wait.....ha ha ha.

Happy Halloween!!

I couldn't really find a costume for Bryson to wear this Halloween because he is still so small, even the smallest costumes out there wouldn't fit him.....so Miranda Johnson gave me the idea of making him a mummy costume. She made one for her son last year. I am not as crafty as her, but I decided to give it a whirl. This is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty cute. I felt bad for the kid cause when he had the mummy costume on, he couldn't really bend his arms, so in a way, he really was a mummy. Ha Ha. I hope you all had a Happy Halloween! "GET ME OUT OF THIS THING....SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO ME!"
See what I mean about his arms not being able to bend :(
He was Mommy's Little Mummy!
Dustin and I bought this onesie before Bryson was born....it is a newborn size, so it was a little big on him, but hey, it worked and he still looked dang cute in it! This kid can pull anything off.

Just a few Pics of Bryson

So, I haven't really posted anything the last few weeks, cause I suck. But here are a few pictures of what we've been doing lately......focusing on Bryson. He is the light of our lives. He is growing so fast....well at least Dustin and I think he is. When people come over, they comment on how little he still is. But Dustin and I think he is so big compared to what he was when he was born. We aren't sure exactly how much he weighs, but we will find our his length and weight next Thursday when we go in for his 2 month check up and the oh so dreaded shots! Yeah, so excited for those, let me tell ya! He is about the size of a full term newborn......maybe between 6 1/2 and 7 pounds.....not quite seven and last we measured (about 2 weeks ago), 19 inches long.....Any guesses on how much he weighs you guys.....leave me a comment and we will let you know next week! Bryson has the funniest facial expressions, even when he is asleep!

Bryson's "Lion King" moment. He really is KING at our house!!

We put him in this outfit today, cause he is outgrowing his preemie clothes....this is NEWBORN, and it is a tad big on him......he is in one of his many awkward stages, I am sure!
Cousin Britt came to see Bryson before she went to California!

Tummy Time with Brogan!

Bryson Meets Great-Grandpa Luthi

The Friday after my Grandma's funeral, my Aunt Tami, Aunt Dixie and Uncle Sherm brought my Grandpa down for a Dr.'s appointment. I was very excited to find out that they would be stopping by my house to meet my little boy. Sadly, Grandma would not be there to meet him. When they got to my house, my Aunt Tami didn't want to hold Bryson because he was too small and he intimidated her and my Aunt Dixie didn't hold him because she was starting to get a cold and didn't want to get him sick. So, the men......yes that's right, the men of the family were the only ones that held him that day. My Grandpa said to my aunts......"Well if you won't hold him, I will...." that was pretty awesome. I took so many pictures of Grandpa holding him....primarily because we didn't have Grandma there, so I was not going to let that moment get away without any pictures. Bryson stared at Grandpa for a while and went right to sleep. I know that my Grandma was probably right there beside my Grandpa at that very moment.......I wish she could have been there in person though. My baby Bryson LOVES Grandpa Luthi.....but how could he not love him.......and Grandpa loves Bryson. It was a good afternoon!

Bryson's First Pictures

So, we had the opportunity to have Miranda Johnson take Bryson's first pictures. You can check out her website, just click on Sweetpea Photography on my friends link. She was so incredible!! I highly recommend her to anyone! She did a wonderful job---and was so patient with our squirmy little man. She got some amazing shots of him, even towards the end, when I thought for sure she wouldn't be able to because Bryson was getting tired of us posing him and taking his pictures. But I wanted to share some of those pictures with you. He is our pride and joy and think that he is the cutest little thing ever!! Just hanging out!

Our cute little family.

He absolutely LOVES his daddy!!

He was so alert for the whole shoot. He would NOT go to sleep!!

My little miracle sent from Heaven!
