Well here I am....late again. This is becoming very predictable! :) I might as well do a combination Happy 5/6 months since his half year is fast approaching.
I continue to be amazed that we created such a perfect little boy. The novelty certainly hasn't worn off and I try not to take one minute for granted. I find at times if I become impatient, I take a moment to realize how lucky I am considering I NEVER thought I would ever be a Mom!! And to be blessed with such a happy, healthy little guy....so incredible!

| At the race track with Daddy. |
We (mommy and daddy) took our first trip without Bryce this month. As the departure date grew near, I became more and more anxious to the point I thought I might bail! Not because I didn't trust Nana to look after him for 3 days but because we haven't been apart for well ...14 months. (If you include tummy time!) Even though we had a good time in New York, I cried everyday because I missed him. Thankfully I had plenty of videos and pictures on my iPhone! I was literally shaking when I returned...and ran in the door to see him. Pretty anti-climatic - he seemed confused as to who I was!? That broke my heart! :( Didn't take long for the giggles and grins to return, but I don't think I'll be going on any more trips for a little while! (Perhaps he was mad at me for not taking him, or maybe Nana did such a great job that he just didn't notice my absence?!)
Tooth number two arrived mere days after the first and his top teeth should be arriving any day. So cute to see his new little smile. We've been putting his teeth to good use (well not really) as he eats up his big boy food. I've been making his fruits and veggies...thanks to a gift from my Sister. The Baby Bullet - love it! So easy to bake or steam the goodies, then puree in the blender. I've been freezing the fruits and veggies in ice cube trays, which makes the perfect sized portions!
Bryce is definitely sturdy on his tree trunk legs and we wonder if he will be an early walker. He loves to stand and will actually lean against the couch unassisted for periods of time. AND he loves the jolly jumper! Unfortunately due to his height and weight, he only has about 3 links of adjustment before it will be retired. (At his 5 month appointment, he weighed 19lbs 11oz) We haven't made much progress in the "sit on your own" department. (Or the hair growing department!) He hates sitting! And hates tummy time. The minute you put him down on his bum or belly, he'll flip him self onto his back. I think he's just going to skip the crawling/sitting phase and go right to standing/walking!! lol
Well...think I'll sign off now. Thanks for being patient all you Baby Bryce Blogger fans!!
