Here they are....

So, like I said before....here are some of Bryson's 10 month pictures. They have been posted on my facebook page for a few days, so some of you might have already seen them, but I can't get enough of my little man!! He was being such a stinker pot....the Saturday shoot that was just of him....we were able to get a few smiles out of him, but not many....our family shoot, the following Tuesday...I don't think we caught one real smile!!! I don't know what was going on with him....and I knew that the evenings was when he is the crankiest....but SERIOUSLY....not one smile?! He was being very selfish with his smiles!! He wouldn't smile for ANYONE....not us, not the camera, his toys, his cousin Brittany....NOT EVEN HIS UNCLE "NITZ".....so, I guess we won't be having an evening photo shoot anytime soon! Anyway, here are a few of them.....we think he's pretty cute, but then again.....who doesn't....LOL.

This was Bryson's very first time in water, other than the bathtub....he wasn't very fond of it at first, but then got used to it and was splashing in the water and having a good time. It was cute! Thanks Lisa again for doing his pictures.

Bryson's 9 Month Pictures

Hello all!!!
My friend Lisa Soucie is a photographer and I had her do Bryson's 9 month pictures. We went to the railroad track by the river, the Pier at Snake River Landing, also the water feature at Snake River Landing, and then back to our house for some studio pictures. Since I haven't had a chance to post them on my blog, and won't be able to until after the holiday,you can go to her blog http://www.endlessmomentsphotography.blogspot.com/. She did a great job, although it was like pulling teeth to get him to smile....little stinker!! I think they are so very cute (but once again I am biased)!! Thanks Lisa for taking his pics....and for taking the family pics too....that was an event in itself....Bryson just wasn't having any of that either....I don't think he likes the camera much....probably because he has had a camera in his face since the day he was born....ahhh....it must be horrible to be loved so much!

Bryson, Grass and Slip 'N Slide Fun

I have tried to put Bryson down on the grass a few times, since the weather has been nice.....and he wasn't enjoying it....AT ALL. I would set him down on the grass and as long as his "skin" didn't touch it, he was fine, but if I put him down on his hands and knees, the tears and screaming started coming! It was funny to watch because he would stick one leg straight out, holding up from touching the grass, and once he got his balance, he would do the hand. He don't mean to sound disgusting, but he looked like our dog when Brogan would go to the bathroom and raise one leg....heck, maybe Bryson was trying to copy Brogan...Ha Ha Ha. It was cute and I shouldn't laugh at my son, but it was seriously funny!!
So, on Wednesday, all of our neighbors were hanging out at the Kofe's house and the kids were playing in the kiddie pool and Slip 'N Slide. So, I decided to risk my chance of Bryson crying and put him on the grass. He didn't cry, but he put one foot in the air as if the grass was too hot for his foot to touch it. He then saw the kids and started, slowly, crawling over to the Slip 'N Slide. He actually didn't care that he was getting wet, so I let him play....it was so cute, these are the pics I got....sorry there are so many of him (and they are kinda the same, but it was his first time!!)




We decided to put Bryson on the Slip 'N Slide, but he didn't like it so much and started to cry a bit....

So we took him off and put him on the grass again...then, sure enough.....he started crawling over to the Slip 'N Slide again....silly kid...I think he liked the water more than the slide.

Here, he is drinking the water.....like Brogan....geez, he chews the coffee table, holds his leg up like he is peeing when put on the grass, now drinks like Brogan....wow, our puppy is influencing Bryson more than we know!!

Hopefully the weather will continue to be nice so that we can continue to play outside! We had fun playing in the water....Thanks everyone for letting us play!!

Uh-Oh!!

I was in the kitchen one day making Bryson a bottle....and the next thing I heard was a crash and Bryson crying....I went around the counter island and this is what I found (only Bryson was laying on his back with the bowl holder on top of him).

I had to get him out of the water, or else he would be in the picture (let's just say he was UP-SET!!) Below are the wet pajamas that I took him out of after the incident and then him.....crawling back into the kitchen (he looks a little irritated that I am still snapping pictures of him in his diaper). LOL...it was kind of funny!! I just love our little guy!


Maybe now he will leave Brogan's food dish alone....but most likely not!!

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!!
