Giving Thanks In November

We had so much to be thankful for this year so it was an extra special Thanksgiving for us. Bryson has changed our world completely and we are loving every minute of it. We are so thankful for so many things... our health, our family & friends, our life in general but more than anything we are so thankful for our precious son we were blessed with this year.

Here are some highlights from November:

He's like a little sucker fish, cleaning my windows

He wants to be outside so bad, but he has had a stuffy nose lately and we've been keeping him out of the cold

And the dogs are the opposite... they want inside so bad

They can't wait until he can reach that door handle and let them in which won't be too much longer!


Who needs toys when you have door stoppers!

Teasing the dogs once again

Touchdown!!!

Playing some football while mommy and daddy put out the Christmas lights

Helping daddy put out the lights

Such a good little helper

Playing the piano with Aunt April... he's the next Beethoven for sure

He loves chewing on cups

"What did you do to my hair mommy?"

First Mohawk with what little hair he is finally getting back :)

His favorite spot... he pulls up to this window and waves at the dogs outside

Caught ya!

I think he has slammed his fingers in this drawer 100 times but keeps going back to it... I'm sure he will learn eventually

Climbing all over mommy

He's growing up too fast! Isn't there a pause button somewhere???

Crawling all over the place

He LOVES bath time... for now :)

Getting ready for a fun-filled, cold December!!!

October Fun With My Growing Boy

October was a fun-filled month with lots of growing. Bryson is in the 99th percentile for height and 84th percentile for weight. He has now learned how to crawl and is constantly pulling up and standing (still with help). He wants to walk so bad but mommy wants him to slow down and not grow up so fast. (especially since I now have to chase him around everywhere) He's a handful but so much fun. Everyday is a new exciting adventure. We are loving it! Here are some pictures from this month:

This is where he always wants to go... outside with Shailey and Lexi

P is for Parker!

Pulling up on the couch and standing

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch with Rory, Rita and Tristen and it was so much fun. They had all sorts of things to do and lots of pumpkins to choose from. Here are some pictures from our fun filled day:

We also went to a pumpkin patch at a local church to buy some pumpkins.

Cutie

"What are these things?"

We woke him up from his nap to take these pictures so it was hard to get a smile. He was still a little sleepy.

He likes the bumpy ones

My baby boy :)
