Bryson's First Haircut

Even though Bryson doesn't have nearly as much hair as Preston did at his age, it was still time for his first haircut. He did great and sat still the whole time! Brother got his haircut too. Afterward, we took the boys to the mall for some much deserved play time!

Halloween 2011

We had a lot of fun this Halloween! This was the first year that Preston really "got it!" He would say trick or treat then after he got his candy, he would tell the person that they could close their door now! He had a blast. Bryson enjoyed himself too. He wants to do whatever brother does so he had fun following him to the doors.

Preston wanted to be Superman this year so he could fly and we found the cutest dinosaur costume for Bryson. Happy Halloween!

Brotherly Love

Preston & Bryson are best buds! It's so fun to watch them play together. They love to push each other around on Preston's Thomas the Train car and they also play toys together in their bedrooms. It's really wonderful!

Bryson's First Birthday!

Our baby is a year old! We officially have a one year old and a two year old...aaahhh! We had Bryson's party at Peter Piper Pizza, the same as Preston's first birthday party. We had a wonderful time with family and friends. Bryson wasn't feeling to well that day as he was cutting his top two front teeth but he still enjoyed his party.

July 2011 - Preston 2.5 yrs., Bryson 9 months

July presents us with a 2 1/2 yr old and a 9 month old! At Bryson's 9 month check up he was 19 lbs., 5 oz & 28 1/2 in. long! I do compare his stats to what Preston was and so far he is shorter and weighs more. He definitely has a different build than Preston. Now that Bryson is older, the boys are really enjoying playing together. Also, we have started potty training Preston. We're taking it slow. He has gone pee pee in the potty several times and loves his candy rewards! We are using pull ups to start (occasionally underwear) and so far I'm impressed with his progress.

They are the joys of my life :)

June 2011

June was another fun month! The pool is warm enough to swim. Preston is doing so well in the pool! He is finally big enough for a life jacket and it keeps him afloat! We don't have to be holding him anymore.....he's gaining an independence in the pool and he's a little fish! He's doing really good with kicking his legs and moving his arms to get around. I really need to get him in swim lessons. Also, Bryson started crawling up on his hands and knees!

We also did a "staycation" at the Arizona Grand Resort. It's only about 15 min. from our house but it really feels like we got away! They have a huge water park area and it's very kid friendly. We had a blast!

Fun in our pool!

Bryson - 6 Months

At Bryson's 6 month check up he was 17 lbs., 7 oz and 27 in. long!! We started baby food as well although he's not liking it too much yet. Preston is being a good big brother and very helpful as you can see in the photo where he's feeding Bryson!
