After 8.5 months of maternity leave, I am returning to work tomorrow. UGH. Considering most people only get 12 weeks off, I feel very fortunate for having the amount of time off that I did, but it still doesn’t make the return any easier. I knew this day would be here sooner or later, but …
Yesterday Bryson turned 8th months old. How is that possible??? He truly is growing up so fast! This past month has been one of the most exciting, with Bryson learning to crawl, pull-up and start to cruise, all in a matter of about 4 weeks. He’s also saying Mama a bunch, but no Dada yet, …
This past weekend, we flew to Florida for Jason and Sabrina’s wedding. It was quite the adventure traveling with an 8 month old, but we survived and had lots of fun! Friday was a day filled with 2 plane rides. Bryson was VERY chatty when we first got on the plane, and I think the …
What happens when you combine an Irish/German mommy and an Italian/Scottish daddy? You get a 1/4 Irish baby, who’s happy to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Although, I’m guessing he’d probably still be happy to celebrate even if he didn’t have a little Irish in him. Here’s Bryson’s picture with Grandma and Grandpa Slattery on St. …
This winter was one of the mildest on record. We had two snowfalls with each just barely covering the ground. Now it is the second week in March and they are predicting 70+ temps the rest of the week. I can’t complain too much…it’s great for going out walking/running with Bryson and Kizzie! We also …
Bryson is now officially crawling… Yesterday was the last day of his movers and shakers class, and he was finally one of the movers in the class! Way to go little man!
This past weekend, we had Bryson baptized at Crossroads Church, which is about 5 minutes from our house. It was a really nice ceremony with about 20 babies being baptized. Bryson was the 3rd one to be baptized. We went up in front of the church, introduced ourselves, and Bryson gave the audience a big …
Bryson started giving open mouth kisses recently. It started with Daddy, then Mommy, and now we’ve moved on to other things as well. His favorites include kissing himself in the mirror and trying to get wet slobbery kisses from Kizzie (although we try to avoid this). He also kissed his playmate, Gabriella, in a LLL …
As Bryson grows, more and more of his personality is coming out. We’re beginning to see more of his likes/dislikes. Here’s some of them currently, but I’m sure these will probably change frequently. LIKES: Bath time, giving open mouth kisses (this is new, and they are awesome!), pumpkin, oatmeal made with apple juice, Mommy and …
Bryson is enjoying his first ever Valentine’s Day. He’s loving his little sock monkey he got from Grandma and Grandpa Felicelli. He really loves gnawing on the sock monkey’s arms and legs…I guess we all have different ways of expressing our love. We also got him a new book called “All The Ways I Love …
