10 Weeks Old!

Bryant was 10 weeks old yesterday.  We have reached the double digits in weeks already!  AAAHHHH...slow down time! :)

So this weekend was super busy.  As Bryant already posted, we had the UAB spring game on Saturday.  In addition to that, we had some good friends of ours get married, and Josh was in the wedding.  Therefore, I had a bachelorette party Friday night, we had a Rehearsal dinner Saturday night, and the wedding on Sunday.  So...because we would need someone to watch Bryant during all of those events, Jamma (Josh's mom) came into town to watch him.  I think they had lots of fun.  Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of them together since I was gone to different events pretty much the entire weekend!  I missed Bryant soooo much, but it was good to be a wife and friend, instead of just mommy all of the time.  Here are some pictures from the weekend below.

 Josh put Bryant on Sampson's bed because Sampson was on our bed!

Go Blazers!

I had such a fun day yesterday!  I got to go to my first UAB game.  As most of you know, my daddy is a football coach at UAB, so we are big fans!!  They had their spring game yesterday and mommy took me to watch.  I think I am really going to enjoy football!

2 Month Pediatrician Visit

Hey Everybody!  It's been awhile since I've posted, but I know mommy has been keeping everyone up to speed on me!  Well, I decided to write today about my pediatrician's visit.  It was my first time back since I was 2 weeks old...which seems like forever ago.  I saw Dr. Simpson again and he was super nice.  He checked me over and said I looked awesome!  I am in the top percentile for both my height and weight.  I was 24 1/4 inches long and weighed 13 lbs 4 oz.  Man I've grown a lot over my nine weeks of life...3 inches and 4 lbs 10 oz to be exact!  Mommy says I must be built like daddy!  Now there was one part of my visit that I did not like, and that was the shots!  They were called vaccinations, and they made me cry.  However I only cried for a second, and then my daddy picked me up and I stopped.  For some reason my mommy left the room during the shots part, but she came back in after the nurse was done.  All in all it was an okay visit, however I am glad I don't have to go back for a couple of months!  I guess that's all the news for now, I will try not to go as long without posting next time.  Off to take a nap now!

9 Weeks Old

Here is Bryant's nine week picture.  He is definitely growing!

So this weekend Pops came in to town for some continuing education classes at UAB.  We got to hang out with him a lot when he wasn't in his classes.  Bryant had lots of fun!  Here are a couple of pictures of Bryant and Pops.

Also, I have to include an adorable picture of Bryant and Sampson from this past week.  Sam just plopped down right next to Bryant as though he wanted to hang out with his brother! :)

Until next time...

2 Months Old!!

Bryant is 2 months old today!  How exciting!  I was curious...is it okay to get a birthday cake for him even though he couldn't eat any of it...and even though it is only a 2 month birthday??  I'm going to say YES!! :)  As I always do on his weekly posts, I will say this...TIME IS FLYING!!  I am enjoying every minute of being a stay-at-home mom to my little man.  He does the cutest things every day.  In fact, in the past couple of days he has just started two new things.  First, he has started smiling in response to me.  He has not done it for Josh yet, but he does it for me.  I will talk to him and say silly things and he will smile.  It just melts my heart!  The second thing he has started doing is trying to suck his thumb.  It is too cute! He will sit there and suck on his hand...the knuckles part...trying to find his thumb.  Every now and then he will find it and suck on it for a second, but then he will unknowingly move his hand and lose it.  I don't give it much longer before he is able to find it consistently.  Although I know thumb-sucking is not good, I can't help but enjoy how adorable he looks doing it!  I've attached a picture below to prove it!

Here are a couple more pictures of him today that I wanted to share.  He is sleeping so soundly on his little playmat!

Well, the next time you hear from me I know Bryant will be doing more new and cute things, and I will still be gushing over them! :)

8 Weeks Old!

Well, Bryant is 8 weeks old today!  I think I say this every week, but time is flying by!!!  I really need it to slow down because my baby is growing too fast!  Below is his 8 week picture.

In the above picture his outfit says "Daddy thinks I'm the #1 Baby".  Isn't that soooo cute!  Thanks to JoJo for that!  We had a good rest of the weekend at JoJo and Pops!!  We did all sorts of fun stuff, and just enjoyed hanging out.  Below are some more pictures from our visit!

 Bryant was "Riding the Horsey" with Pops

 Bryant got to see Gran again too!  (she had her hair in rollers for church the next day)

It was a very exciting first visit to Opelika!  I'm sure there will be many more to follow...or at least I know JoJo and Pops hope there will be! :)

Road Trip!

Bryant has now had is first road trip!  We drove down to Opelika last night for the weekend.  Josh has a bachelor party this weekend, so I decided instead of staying home alone, we would come visit my parents.  And it was perfect because Aunt Hillary and Uncle Evan happened to be here Thursday night and all day today!  It has been so much fun for Bryant to get to meet his Uncle Evan.

 Uncle Evan was VERY excited to meet Bryant

 Aunt Hillary had really missed Bryant

 Just Chillin!

What's Up Guys!

The drive down to Opelika is right around 2 hours...or a little less...which was the perfect amount to be able to drive in one stretch without having to stop and feed Bryant.  I was a little concerned about making the drive with Bryant and Sampson all by myself, but it went great!  Bryant slept the entire time, and Sampson did really well in the way back of the car.  It was thankfully very uneventful!

Once we got down to Opelika we all just hung out!  Then Bryant got a bath.  It was too cute because we had to bathe him in the kitchen sink!

I know we are going to continue to have a fun time in Opelika!! :)
