51 Weeks!!

Bryant was 51 weeks on Sunday!  I can't believe this is the last "week" post I will ever write!  My baby boy will be a year old in less than a week!!!  Anyway, no need in me getting emotional about it yet, on to other things! :)  So, one new thing we have done is we FINALLY moved Bryant into his big boy car seat.  Yes, yes, I have been needing to do it for a month or two, but selfishly didn't want to.  I loved that I could still pull him out in his car seat and snap it into a stroller frame and go!  It was great for a quick trip into the store or something.  Oh well, I guess he is practically one, and he was definitely getting way too big for his bucket seat!  Anyway, funny story about the new car seat.  Josh took it to the fire department to let them help install it because he couldn't get it in right.  Well, the "Certified" firemen ended up using a pink pool noodle to make the car seat tilt the way it was suppose to.  How crazy/funny is that!  It's in tight now, and even though there is a noodle underneath it, I feel safe knowing that 3 firemen, who are certified by the insurance agencies to install car seats, worked on it!!

 He had to explore his new car seat!

 Please notice the pink swim noodle! HA!!

Look at what a big boy he is!!!

Something else that was fun for Bryant was that he got his first birthday present!  It was a Rody from Aunt Meghan & Uncle Chris.  For those of you who don't know what a Rody is (like me before we got one), it is a blow up horse that your child can ride and bounce on!  At his age though you can use it on a base that turns it into a rocking horse.  It's pretty cool!  Anyway, below are some pictures.  FYI...as of right now Bryant isn't the biggest fan of Rody (as you will see in the pictures), but I definitely think he will grow to love it!!

RODY!!!

 "Umm...I'm not so sure I like this..."

 "I definitely don't like this!"

 Yeah we did!! :)  I mean what is a cowboy without a cowboy hat!!

Finally a picture where he wasn't crying!

I also want to include a picture of something pretty precious!  So, I was in the kitchen doing some dishes and I saw Bryant crawling into his room from the corner of my eye.  Well, I realized that about 5 minutes had passed and I had not heard a peep out of him!  Naturally I darted into his room to see what he was into that he wasn't suppose to be, since that is usually why children get quiet.  Below is what I found... :)

PRECIOUS!!!

Well, below are a couple more cute pictures of him from the past couple of days!  Two are super cute pictures from when I was trying to get his teddy bear picture.  The others are just to show how much he LOVES his pacifiers!

Look!  He actually doesn't have his chipmunk cheeks in this picture! :)

One in the mouth, One to play with!

Until next time...

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

So...I really struggled with a title for this post.  It has been a really normal week, but I have gotten lots of cute pictures.  So, hence the title! :)  Anyway, like I said, we've had a pretty normal week.  The only difference has been that Josh hasn't been home much.  We had some tornadoes Monday morning in our area again.  Before lunch on Monday my amazing husband was already headed out with his chainsaw to the areas destructed.  He was also out there all day Tuesday and Wednesday and is going back out tomorrow!  I love what a helpful person my husband is!  So, while he was doing that, Bryant and I had lots of mommy-son time!  We just hung around the house and went to the park a couple of times!  Nothing too exciting!  However, I have taken A LOT of adorable pictures this week!  I'll include them, with commentary below! :)

I have discovered how delicious grapefruit is again!  Well, Bryant kept wanting it, so I finally decided I would let him try it so he would see that it was too sour.  Well below shows that I was wrong...

 A little hesitant at first...

but turns out, he likes grapefruit!

Below are pictures of him just playing with different items in the house!

 So proud that he is able to pull stuff out of the fridge!

 Loves messing with Sam's bowls!

 Pulling all his toys out!

He was thinking, "What should I get out next!"

Fun at the Park!!......

 He kept trying to climb the slide!  It was super cute!!

The following pictures depict an event that happened today.  It was hilarious!  I went in to Bryant's room to find him pulling all of his dirty clothes out of the basket.  The following is what happened afterwards...

 I asked Bryant who had dumped the clothes all over the floor...he turned his head and looked at Sam!  HA!!!

 Then he decided to surrender and admit that he had done it! ;)

 I then told him that we should clean them up and he started throwing them at me!

 In a nice little pile again!

 Please notice that there are a few socks left in the basket....

 And that was unacceptable!

 And...once he was done he apparently got tired! :)

And laid down in his clothes!  HILARIOUS!!!

Well, that's all I've got!  Hope you enjoyed all the precious pictures!!

Until next time...

50 Weeks!!

My baby boy is 50 weeks old!  Two more weeks until he's one...crazy!?!  Well, we have had a pretty fun week!  On Wednesday Josh, Bryant, and I went to dinner with some friends.  It was so much fun!!  Below are a couple of pictures from that day!

 Bryant's cute ensemble was from Aunt Meghan & Uncle Chris

Unfortunately I didn't allow Bryant to eat Mexican...he had to eat turkey, bread, & cheese

On Friday some friends came over for dinner.  We had a good time just being low key and hanging out.  Below are a couple of pictures from that day...

 He loves Sampson!!

He is such a nosey little boy!

Then on Saturday night I went and had a girl's night while Josh kept Bryant!  So fun for me!!! :)  Me and my girlfriends worked on making decorations for Bryant's 1st Birthday!  I can't wait to share them with everyone!! :)  Anyway, other than that we just hung out at the house.  It has been really rainy here so we have been stuck inside.  Makes for long days, but hopefully the sun will be back soon!  One other thing from this week was that I decided to try and introduce Bryant to the snack catcher.  I put some cheerios in it for him a snack one afternoon.  It didn't go very well.  He kept dumping a lot of cheerios out and then Sampson would eat them before Bryant could get to them.  It was a mixture of funny and frustrating!  Below are a couple of pictures...

Until next time...

49 Weeks!

Above is Bryant's 49 week picture!  His legs look super long because of the angle...they are not that big!  Please notice his adorably cute smile!!  He was smiling at Jojo!  Anyway, the last time I posted I was in North Carolina with my sister.  Well, Bryant and I flew back to Atlanta on Saturday.  Since Josh was out of town until Monday, Bryant and I ended up staying in Opelika with my parents until Monday.  We had a great time!  Below are a few pictures...for some reason I have several of my dad, but none of my mom...however she was there too! :)

 Playing with Jojo and Pops toys!

 He enjoyed the slide at the park!

 Swinging with Pops at the park

He still looks little in my dad's arms!

We had so much fun in North Carolina and Opelika, but it sure was nice to get home!  Plus, we finally got to see Josh after not seeing him for over a week!  That was really great!!  Since we got back a couple of days ago we have just been hanging out!  Nothing real exciting. :)  Below are a couple more pictures of Bryant!

How cool is he?? ;)

Loves to get himself into tight spaces!

And lastly I have to include a video I took of Bryant while we were in North Carolina.  As I mentioned in my last post, he LOVED the stairs.  Well, here is a video of him climbing them and talking the entire time!  Too Cute!!

Until next time...
