Month 7: Curious Bryce

Although it feels like months fly by when I sit to reflect on the last month I am amazed at just how different Bryce is and at just how much we have done since the last blog update.

  

We went to New York for a week at Christmas and had a wonderful time. Bryce and Landon loved playing with their cousins and getting spoiled by aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas. Landon built his first snowman and Grandma Harter had all the accessories to make Frosty ready for his photo shoot with the Reeves family. Landon also loved getting to go sledding while Bryce stayed cozy inside and helping to cook in the kitchen with his new apron and chef's hat from Grandma Reeves. We also started a new tradition of making gingerbread houses together which was a lot of fun!




Love this photo! The kids think Aunt Carly and Uncle Chris are pretty neat!






Cousins just 4 days apart...Cole may be bigger but Bryce loves to tackle him and give him kisses!



Bryce has spent the last month just soaking in all of his surroundings. By the time we returned from NY he was sitting up on his own. He now loves giving kisses although some people would call it a full mouth of slobber. When not laughing at his brother you will find him stretching to reach anything he wants. He is very good at rolling around to try to get what he wants. He loves the stacking rings in the picture below and many toys that are easy to grab but the best things of all are the remote and the IPAD. I can tell he can't wait to crawl but he can't quite figure out how just yet. Bryce used to love his bottle and eating but now there is way too much around to get into so we often need to feed him separate from all the commotion going on. As a result he continues to love his 2am late night snack.




We took the boys for the first time to the Virginia Living museum this month. Landon even touched some of the sea creatures while we were there. Last weekend was warm so we tried to take both boys in the bike trailer for the first time. It was so much fun to be able to get out the 4 of us without a stroller!

 
2014 has had such a great start!
