Feet as promised

So I promised pictures of Bryce with his feet in his mouth and here they are! He cracks me up!

This week the little kids at Mrs. Amy's keep telling him to be quite. They will walk up to him and say, "shhh baby Rice". Yes, you read that right...they call him baby Rice because they can't get the B out yet. lol You see, Bryce is LOUD to say the least. He talks non-stop! It's so cute for the first 10 minutes and then it starts to get a tad bit annoying. I know that might make me sound like a horrible mother, but you just have to hear it.

Saturday I let him play with Jell-O. It was so funny. He didn't know what to do at first and just kind of patted it, but he got in to it before it was all over. I've put some pictures up of that as well.

I hope all is well with everyone!

Feet

Ok, as most of you know, I HATE feet! I don't mind dealing with my own, but the thought of having to touch, smell or do whatever to someone else's foot make me gag big time.

Yesterday Bryce added a new trick to his list; putting his feet in his mouth.

Ok first of all...WOW! Do you know how flexible you have to be to put your foot in the mouth? And he hasn't even done yoga or anything! lol =o)

Second, I think he just wants me to throw up. I'll admit it's funny, but that is the NASTIEST thing EVER! Seriously, I tried to get a picture so you guys would believe me but I wasn't fast enough. I will however keep trying.

As for his pink eye, he now has it in both eyes but is still in good spirits =o)

Pinky

Yesterday I got a call from Mrs. Amy. She told me that Bryce had green mucus coming from his left eye. So, me being the "doctor" that I am, I quickly typed webmd.com into my browser and I was off to self diagnose my little man. I couldn't really find anything. Pink eye kept coming up, but the discharge in the description was either yellow or tan. Needless to say, I convinced myself he couldn't have pink eye.

The second Mrs. Amy opened the door and I saw Bryce, I knew he had pink eye. Afterall, I am the queen of it =o) Dr. Prihoda was able to see him in the early afternoon and 84 dollars later, we had a little bottle of eye drops. They have worked REALLY well and Bryce doesn't have a problem with getting them either.

Even when he is sick Bryce is upbeat. He smiles through it all. I've really been thinking about that a lot. Since he has been here with us he has had countless tummy problems, a double ear infection, the croupe and now pink eye, but he remains and happy and content baby. I'm simply amazed at what a happy baby he is. His little smile warms my heart!

I've attached some pictures of my little guy and his yucky eye so you yourself can see that he is still one little happy camper!

Catching Up

I apologize as I have not been as good at this blogging thing as I would have liked, but life happens and I must tend to it =o)

Valentine's Day was great! All of the cards and gifts for Bryce, Daniel and I were so thoughtful and they will make a great addition to his scrapbook...thank you. Daniel had flowers sent to work for me with a note from him and Bryce...it was really sweet and made my day! Bryce had a hot date with his Aunt Katie that night while Daniel and I got a much needed break. We went to dinner with Chad and Jill and it was wonderful.

Last week Daniel and Bryce were sick and now I'm trying to get over a cold or allergies or something. We all go down at the same time....

Today Bryce is 5 months old! Can you believe it!?! He has gotten so big soooo fast and he is cuter than ever! =o) Daniel and I are working on getting him ready to sit up and so far so good. He's dying to be able to sit up! He's a little roly poly too...rolling over more and more everyday. A funny thing he just started was taking his paci out and playing with...that's no biggie, but now he is trying to put it back in his mouth but he can't because he is holding on to the part that he normally sucks on. So, after a few minutes of trying he gets mad and we have to do it for him...he'll get it eventually =o)

All else is well at the Brody home =o)

Catching Up

Well, it's been a while!

Since I last wrote, Bryce has had the croup, his second tooth is coming in and he has figured out that sticking his tongue out is fun. Yep, that tongue comes out at every chance he gets. See the picture attached...cute huh?

Bryce started at what Daniel and I are calling "big boy school" today. He is getting so BIG! I can't believe the little person we brought home with us last September is already 4 months old. Time really does fly! His personality is getting much bigger and I must tell you, I truly think he is going to be funny just like his mom =o)

On a totally different subject, 2 lives were lost over this past weekend. J.B. Davis and Drew Lyons both went to be with the Lord. If you have a second today, please say a prayer for the family and friends of these two wonderful people. They will both be missed.

That's all I have for right now.

Teeth

Bryce's first tooth has finally made it to the surface! You can see the very tip of it when you look in his mouth...that is if he will let you =o) Whenever I try to look at it he sticks his tongue over it...little teaser! I'm so glad his tooth finally showed itself. He has been fussy this whole week and not even Tylenol, Orajel or teething toys would sooth him. Saturday for example, it took three of us to entertain and "deal" with him. Thank goodness Katie came down! Ya know, I'm beginning to think that he considers Daniel and I his butlers. For example, he will not for the life of him hold onto his teether toys. He wants us to sit there and hold it while he chews it. Seriously, I'll try to put his hands around it and as soon as I let go he lets it drop and looks at me as if he is saying, "ummm aren't you going to get that?" I'm afraid we might have spoiled him too much already...lol

Speaking of Aunt KK...she was a WONDERFUL help and it was so good for her to come and spend time with Bryce. I attached some pictures of her and the the baby...that little boy is in love with her!

As soon as I'm able to get some pictures of the tooth I'll be sure to post them! Oh and Bryce turned 4 months yesterday....he's getting big!

Mr. Mom

Last night my mom and I went to Proverbs 31 Ministries "Girls Night Out" and had a wonderful time. It was wonderful getting to hear from other moms, laugh ,and most of all just spend time with my mom....just the two of us. I want to brag on my husband for a second. Daniel, aka Mr. Mom, is great! Bryce has been fussy but Daniel didn't call me once. When I called to "check in" and see how everything was going, he kindly gave me a report and said everything was great. When I got home the bottles were washed, stuff was laid out for the next day and the apartment was picked up. Yep, he is hired! lol It's not that I didn't think he would do all of that or be able to keep Bryce and his fussiness at bay, it's just that he was so cool, calm and collected about it. I admire that.


On the baby front...Bryce went back to the doctor yesterday and he has two beautiful ears (thats a direct quote from the doctor). The infections are gone! He is starting to cut his bottom teeth and should have them in a few months =o) He weighs 16 pounds and is one happy and healthy baby.

Some things Bryce has learned in his 4 months of life (besides the normal milestones):
1. How to stick his finger in his nose
2. How to wiggle himself around in his bed so he can do a complete 180
3. That when he yells he can hear himself better (you can imagine how much I love that)
4. Hair is a wonderful thing to pull on
5. Grape Tylenol is lip smackin good (he really does smack his lips when he takes it)
6. How to bang his legs on his bed to get attention or to bounce himself in his bouncer (what a ham!)
