Baby Loves His Carrots

Bryson has been eating baby food for a couple of weeks now. I've tried a few different things. His Pediatrician told us to start out with the orange and yellow vegetables first then move on to fruits and then last introduce the green vegetables.

Does this not look like a little boy who loves his carrots? After each bite he makes these little noises like he's trying to say yum-yum mommy. It's so funny. I've got to make sure to get it on video next time.

Gotta get back to watching Miss America. I've got my score sheet ready. Rooting for Miss Alabama!!!

Getting Back In the Groove

I know it's been a while since I've blogged on a regular basis. Things have been pretty chaotic over the last few months. Were ya'll aware that I have six month old... ha! Actually life with Bryson has been great. He's sleeping through the night, eats good (if ya'll couldn't already tell from his pictures), and is growing up SO fast. I couldn't ask for a better little boy!

My lack of blogging is mostly from being without a computer for months and the shift I've been working at my job.

We finally got a computer over the Christmas Holidays. Nothing big. Just something to get Clay through school and for me to do my blogging on. We also got a really nice printer with our purchase. Best Buy was having a sale and I guess we got there in just the right time. I think I'm more excited over the printer than I am the computer. I've been printing pictures of Bryson out like a crazy person. I need to be careful...I have no clue on how much the ink cartridges cost.

In regards to the job situation...back when I got pregnant, night shift was too much for me and sleeping was pretty important and that was something I was lacking working night shift. So Clay and I talked it over and thought that evening shift (which is 3pm-11pm) would work best and would even be great once Bryson was born. No daycare needed!!! Well that has come back to bite me in the hiney! On the week that I work I usually don't get home until after midnight and I'm one of those people that can't go straight to bed... I have to wind down. And then by the time I get in the bed, four or five hours later Bryson is ready to wake up. So let's just say that I've put my name back on the list for night shift. I'm praying something will come open soon. I miss my friends and still being able to spend time with my family. Not to mention I can put my little boy to bed every night :)

Hopefully I can start getting back in the groove... at least on my week off. And if you don't mind, say a small prayer that a night shift position will come open soon.

Happy SIX months Bryson!!!

I can't believe you are six months old. Time is going by way tooo fast. But I will tell you this has been the BEST six months of mine and your daddy's lives.

So what have you been up to these days???

You weigh around 18lbs. We'll get your official weight next Wednesday for your six month appointment.

You are in size 3 diapers.

You've been on baby food for about a week. You love the carrots and banana's. You've tried butternut squash and corn and sweet potatoes. You seemed to like those too. And to be honest I think if we put anything in your mouth you would gobble it up.

You are getting better at laying on your tummy. And you have rolled over from your tummy to your stomach several times.

You have one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. Every time I see you smile it brightens up my day.

You have discovered your feet and toes. It is so cute when I'm changing your diaper and you are trying so hard to grab at them.

You are in size 6 months and some 6-9 months clothes.

You can sit facing out in your stroller. I think you really like it.

You still can talk really loud - but it's sounding more like words than just noise.

You are loving your doorway jumper. When you first get in it you will try and bounce around but within a few minutes you are spinning around in it.

Overnight you have become the happiest baby. You are constantly smiling and laughing and talking. You have yet to meet a stranger. I believe you are going to have your daddy's personality which I'm very excited about!! I can't wait to see the little boy that you become.

You have all of your grandparents wrapped around your little fingers. They all love you so much and are spoiling you rotten.

I can't believe that you are half a year old. This time has gone by TOOOO fast for me and your daddy. You have been the joy of my life these last six months and I love you very much!
