Okay, okay, I know it has been forever since I posted anything! Time gets away from me when I have these two guys to keep me busy. Let's see, what has been going on with us...
Well, Collin is growing like a weed! He is now at a whopping 26 pounds at just 8 months old! He is making it near impossible to carry him around for very long! But the little guy loves to eat! He takes right around 24 ounces of formula a day and then we go through about 5 jars of 2nd stage baby food a day too. I haven't found anything he won't eat. Then on top of that, he has started some finger foods snacks and we can't forget the Baby Mum Mums! They are rice cake like sticks that he can hold and eat and they dissolve almost immediately in his mouth! He loves them! He is sitting up very well on his own and I am sure any day now we will be in the mobile stage. He is not crawling but he would love to be! If for no other reason, just to get to Bryce's cars!
Bryce is still a reluctant preschooler! He likes it more than he will let on but he still is not pumped when Tuesday and Thursday mornings roll around! He is getting into video games since we got a Wii for Christmas. Mater Nationals and now Mario Kart pretty much consume his thoughts often!
I have to share a couple of Bryce stories though...
Bryce doesn't like change! If something is different or you want him to do something a different way he usually has a meltdown! So imagine the surprise of my husband when he walked into the bathroom to find Bryce on the stool with the sink plugged up and full of water and he was lapping the water out of the sink like a dog! And to top it all off, his response to "what are you doing?" was "there was no cup." We usually keep a small disposable cup in the bathroom and there wasn't one there! So, no matter how much he doesn't like change, he is still a little boy and will seize the opportunity to do something possibly messy and slightly outside the house rules. (He is really not supposed to use the drain stopper)
Bryce is also, as I mentioned, in love with Mario Kart for the Wii. After church on Sunday he wanted to play and we wanted him to eat first. His response was "I wish I had something to feed me while I played, like a machine" We started laughing because Bryce would be the one to invent something like that, he has tried to get out of feeding himself from day one! So we told him that he could be an inventor when he grew up. But I told him that God had really already "invented" something for that and it was called his arms and hands. He didn't go for that! (that would mean that he had to wait to play games while he fed himself) And he said he didn't want to wait until he grew up he wanted to invent it now. So we told him to go at it. And his reaction to that..."uh, hello, a little help here." Oh, what a fun boy he is!

Such a cute pic of the boys Jayme! I hope we get to catch up soon!
Have I ever mentioned to you what cute boys you have? :) I love those two so much. I love reading the Bryce stories too--even if I've heard them. Reading them and picturing him in my head is so fun. He's a great little man! Thanks for updating your blog--even though I see you pretty often, I love seeing the pictures and stories together on here. :) Yeah, I know, I'm strange. Love you all!!
