West Virginia Game

We took Bryson to his first Auburn football game. What better way than to take him to a road game. It wasn't much of a game but still had a great time before hand and an awesome time up in Pittsburgh for the weekend.

As we were walking through the Auburn tailgate we came across a person who had a collection of tigers. What do you do when you find this?

Use it as a photo opportunity! This was about the only time Bryson was in full view with his outfit. The rest of the time it was below 40 and he was in jackets and blankets.

"Hey are you going to share any of that with me?" See how the passy just dropped right out of his mouth at the sound of a cold one being popped.

We unfortunately had quite a hard time getting to the game. We were to leave Houston Wed night at 7pm but we didn't end up leaving until Thurs at 1am. We got into Pittsburgh at 4:45am and had just enough time to crash for a couple of hours before driving an hour south to Morgantown. Bryson was a trooper but was never able to recover from that first night. So luckily we brought the sling carrier and he spent most of the time bundled up asleep being carried around. He just asked to be woken up when we got somewhere. We also got a local sandwich in Pittsburgh I had heard about and saw on TV (thanks to my addiction to the food channel). They take two slices of Italian bread and put a meat of choice (I got a Philly Cheese Steak) then they load it up with homemade cole slaw and fries!! It was actually really good and even had a little miner beer (a local brew) with which to wash it down.

School Halloween

Here are some pictures of Bryson at his day care. They have been doing Halloween activities all week.

This was Kristi and Bryson drawing a pumpkin.

" But Mom I just want to EAT the marker!!!

Bryson's fist completed "Master Piece". Notice all the chew marks around the paper! That was his contribution to the "Master Piece". Mom did the green dots.

I love my baby pumpkin. I will hold it, love it, hug it, and talk to it.

Fruit

Bryson has made it through most of the vegetables that are offered in baby foods and he loves them all. So the next logical step is to let Bryson try some fruit. We figured we would start with the vegetables since it was given he would like fruit. WRONG!!!!! He won't touch bananas. He let's it go in and then spits them right back out at you and says "Nope. Try again". He will now eat applesauce but he gives you some pretty weird looks when he first starts out the feeding. So I guess my little man is a veggie man. He must get the drama side from his mom!

First Tooth-Teeth

Well, last weekend Bryson was acting really weird. He was super happy on Saturday and, considering Auburn was getting beat pretty badly by Arkansas, I didn't see anything fun about the day. Then on Sunday he was whinny all day and Monday was the same. So I asked Kristi if she had checked to see if he had a tooth coming in? During one of her visits to the daycare she checked and yeap he sure did but it wasn't just one but TWO! So here is the fantastic picture of Bryson's two front teeth!!

Halloween Package

Bryson received a "Halloween Package" from his Aunt Pam in Florida. It contained a cute outfit and a book, "Five Little Pumpkins", that he loves! While we were doing our Halloween Photo Shoot he became very curious of his sisters Gracie and Cinder. However, they let it be known that they still do not like him even though he loves them so much! It could have something to do with the fact of his constant squeezing and pulling fists full of hair out!

Feeding Time

Bryson is starting to really get a feel for the spectrum of food that is out there. And not to live down his last name he is enjoying them all. He is even to the point were he sees the spoon and lunges for it knowing what it is. Which is a good thing------

See look at me I am eating all my carrots. Making my eyes strong and making sure mom doesn't lose any on the carpet. This was close to the end and you will notice how clean even his tray is.

And this is when mom is to slow and Bryson is in feeding frenzy mode. Notice his - man I am full but why are you guys staring and laughing at me.

Hey I ate all my food why are you guys just standing around fighting over who is going to pick me up.

6.5 Months

Well I am a little late posting this. Bryson got his 6 month set of shots and got all his data. He was 17lbs and 25.5 inches. Bryson's eyes are doing better. He is using them together alot more so the patching is helping. We still aren't sure what the final plan will be. We will be patching until December and then reevaluate. He has no problem looking down at things or watching Baby Einstein it is only when he is try to see things far away or when he is looking up. Of course this probably means he will be skipping the crawling phase. There are several ideas that his eye doctor is thinking of but right now she is letting the natural course take effect. As you can see below we had a hard time getting him to forget about the football and look up. He knows what is important.

Be Warned!

Bryson has let us know that if we want to leave him for a second we better make sure there is nothing within reach or else it will be picked-up. Normally it is straight to the mouth but when you are ready for bed and fall asleep before it makes it to your mouth who knows were it will go!! This is what mom found when she came back from getting a diaper from across the room.
