Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble Gobble

 Bryant had a blast on his first Thanksgiving and was so glad to be able to spend it with both sets of grandparents.  The meal was delicious and I thought our table looked great with the table runner and placemats that my mom made.  This next picture pretty much sums up the day. Everyone watched Bryant...who watched the lights.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving as much as we did!

Bobcat Victories

Bryant has been wearing his lucky Bobcat jersey each Saturday to cheer on his favorite team.  Last weekend he was able to celebrate Grandpa Ed's birthday with a victory.

 Warning: this post is not for the Griz fans and contains a lot of Bobcat apparel, which is only appropriate considering the Bobcats won the Brawl of the Wild!

 

 

I was greeted by this smiley guy the other morning. How can that not make your day?

My little snowman:)

He's not sure about his cowboy boots though!

 

In other news, we now have a liitle giggler / squealer when he gets excited.  Bryant has also gotten really good at grabbing his toys (and bringing them directly to his mouth).  Travis and I are both convinced he grew a whole bunch last night, so we will see for sure at his doctor appointment in a little over a week.

Halloween and More

Since Bryant wasn't old enough to go trick-or-treating this year, we played Halloween pretty low key.  I didn't buy him a costume and then felt bad, so I dressed him like a little pumpkin for when the trick-or-treaters came a knockin'.

The kids liked coming to our house because we handed out so much candy, but I think the parents enjoyed accompanying their kids more so they could see little man:)  I loved all the comments from the kids too.  My favorite was a littl girl asked how old Bryant was, so I said

 3 months.  She asked - so he's 1?  I replied not quite, so she said - so he's 0?  Poor little thing was so confused!  The parents had a hard time believing he is only 3 1/2 months.  I got to thinking it is probably because he is wearing 6 month clothes now and from our "high tech" scale, we are guessing about 16 pounds! 

Here are some updated pictures of Bryant and his new ventures:

Mocha keeping Bryant company after he got home from daycare

 Bryant attended his first volleyball game.  He was a little overstimulated by all the noise and lights, so he just sat there and took it all in.  Must have been a good luck charm as Carroll won in three games!

"I think the stripe monster threw up on me!"

 He loves to sit up more and is getting stronger every day.

 He absolutely LOVES to stand and suck on his fists

Bath time is really fun

which is why he gets his bath inside the shower tub now instead of on the countertop

He got his first art project at daycare

and his first school picture

I'm a little partial, but what a cutie!



He also has rolled from back to tummy several times...mostly in the middle of the night, so he's been waking up crying because he is on his tummy.  I hope he figures out how to roll from tummy to back soon, so we can go back to sleeping through the night!
