Smithsonian National Zoo Trip

Finally got Bryce to a zoo! We had a great time watching zebras, a panda (not the baby yet), tigers (saw tiger babies on the tiger keeper's phone!), elephants, and gorillas. We got there early and am glad because all the animals we saw were putting on a show!!! Especially Damai the mommy tiger...you can watch her cubs here: TigerCubCam

ONE YEAR!

Unreal. "They" always say time flies. It is true. Pregnancy lasted forever. This year was a blink. My baby turns one tomorrow and I am excited! We have a cute little party planned and I can't wait to post some more pics. In the mean time, these are some pics I took last weekend (a week before his birthday) and let's just say it did not go as planned. At all. But hey Bryce is cute no matter what!

he thought he was so cool rolling around in this sheet.

pretending like he was sleeping.

11 months old!?

sunset in aruba

bird watcher like his grandpops

loves his shovel

one of two times he let his feet touch the sand

of course he decides to test the sand right before our photoshoot so he was not the happiest for the rest of the pics!

loves the swish swish

He is just awesome. Such a happy baby. still breastfeeding, cosleeping, eating more and more solids. Loves watermelon, broccoli, lemons, and limes. Slept for 5 hours straight (we do WIO)! He is almost about to walk, but not quite there yet. He is starting to put together words. He hates sand. loves the water. Has a little bit more hair. Did a great job on his two four hour flights to and from Aruba. Loves sadie still. Can nap by himself. He gives big open mouth kisses. Can climb stairs. Knows how to get off a couch by himself. Loves playing hide and seek. Has an infectious giggle. He is all boy. He likes to be the center of attention. Especially at dinner time. He is a talker. Still has an aggressive pointer finger. Notices the tiniest pieces of things anywhere. He is very observant of people. Still loves dark haired girls (like his aunties). He is just the center of our world. 

10 month Brycey

T.R.O.U.B.L.E

my photo sessions when from about 200 pics to 15 with this active little man.

10 months?!?!? I know I say that every month, but seriously?! Oh this munchkin is the best! He is super active crawling, standing up, walking around tables, pushing toy shopping carts, pushing activity tables, and pushing anything in his way out of his way. Nick names include, but are not limited to squeakers, squeak pea, Brycers, brycer, bam bam, wild man, little lion man, shark tooth, sharp tooth, and so on. Speaking of teeth he has 8 and is cutting more. He gave me a bruise on my arm from biting me. His favorite thing in the world is trying to figure out how to get to Sadie's bowls. Originally it was her food bowl but now either one will do. He has successfully gotten one piece of dog food in his mouth before I swooped it out. At least that I know of. He has dumped multiple bowls of water on himself, floor, etc. Sadie barks like crazy when ever he starts crawling in her food bowl direction. Like that is going to stop him. He thinks her barking is the funniest thing ever. He gets the craziest look in his eyes when he gets to touch her. He is allowed to "pat" her, but sometimes slips in a "squeeze/grip." He is a nursing machine. Eats puffs, and purees still. Loooooves watermelon and cantaloupe and pears and mangos. Most of the time. He also likes yogurt. But mostly he likes mama's milk. He also is a babbling machiine with a few understandable words like "hel-do" for hello or "bye" as he opens and closes his hand in a bye motion. He says "doh-doh" for dog and sometimes "dadie" for sadie. He has da-da down. And mom-mom. He also loves to raise his hands above his head and wants you to do it, too. He has an aggressive pointer finger. Points at everything. Sometimes its embarrassing what he points at, but then again he is a baby so it is mostly funny. Brycer is also all about the pool. He loves being tossed and then dipped. And floats in his blow up float. Well, that's your Bryce 10 month old update!

9month Brycer

I can't believe this little guy is 9 freakin' months!!! In three short months he is going to be one!!!!! 

He has 6 teeth, crawls, stands up on his own holding on to something. Laughs like a maniac. Loves pears, mango, blueberries, butternut squash, apples, bananas, Cheerios, and puffs. He is the happiest baby ever. Cosleep, but thinking about working on moving to the crib. He throws balls, attacks Sadie's food, sneak attacks Sadie, and puts everything into his mouth! Loving every minute!!

My Honey Bunny!

8 monthers!
