Month 4

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!! :)
