Happy 4 Months Bryce
Again…sorry for the late posting. He is already almost 5 months!!
Someday I'll trade in this red stroller.... |
This month we took our first family vacation. There is a
little place called Celebration Florida that Daddy and I have become very fond
of. They host a yearly exotic car show
which we have traveled to in the past. We
were there exactly one year ago and had no idea how our lives were about to
change! In fact Bryce was with us then
too, we just didn’t know it yet!! I must admit I was a little anxious as this
was our first flight and first time away from home, but Bryce was such an easy
going little guy. We certainly won’t hesitate to travel with him again!! (We did feel a little bit like "rednecks" though as we had to put Bryce in a drawer to sleep!! lol
Bryce is still growing like a weed. He weighs 18lbs 8oz and measures 31.5” in
length. He is going to be a BIG boy! We were actually at a play date recently with
several babies, some who were older, but all were much smaller. (Weight wise
anyways) I figure that’s why he still
doesn’t sleep through the whole night as he is just a hungry baby bird!!
Speaking of hungry, we have started him on solid food. The first week was very messy as he couldn’t
quite coordinate his tongue. Therefore, most food ended up on his chin! Now he LOVES
is yummy nummy big boy food. He
has tried and loves Rice and Oatmeal cereal.
He has also tried Carrots, Squash, and Sweet Potato – as well as
Blueberries and Apple Sauce. It’s only
been a couple of weeks but I notice that he IS sleeping better. He usually goes to bed at 7pm, and will often
wake once or twice for a quick feed…but then sleeps till about 6am.
Bryce also just cut his first tooth - at four months and 22
days. He has been a little bit fussy
these last days, with periods of unprovoked, inconsolable crying. Also a couple of days ago, I noticed a little
blood tinged saliva in his mouth and thought maybe he had gummed his
tongue. So I looked today and saw an
opening and felt a sharp little tooth poking through! Not quite as early as his
papa Wayne…but I’d say about 2 months ahead of what’s considered “average”!
Well that’s about all the update I have time for. I promise to try and get month 5 posted when
Bryce is STILL actually 5 months!! :)
