Sleepy head

     A week ago I changed Bryce's sleeping schedule from two naps a day to just one nap a day.  He did very good all last week with his new sleeping arrangement.  Though I think today his new schedule caught up with him.....

This was during lunch

After cleaning his face, taking his bib off, and putting toys on his tray... I went into the kitchen for 30 seconds and came back to this........



New discovery

   Well he finally dicovered the sliding door on our closet...and yes he has smashed his fingers a few times, but that doesn't seem to stop him.  I think I will tape the doors shut while we are in his room playing now, because I just cringe every time he gets close to smashing those little fingers of his.

Happy 10 Months!

   He is in the double digits now!  So crazy to think that he is almost a year old.  He is growing so fast and so big, and he is definatly keeping Bryan and I on our toes!  He has 4 teeth coming in on top (all at the same time) and he is handling it a lot better then when his 2 bottoms came in.  He is all over the place and doesn't sit still.  The only time I can get this child to sit still is when I read to him before he goes to bed at night (and that is only because he is tired and ready to go to sleep).  He still has that smile on everyday and he loves to play, and Bryan and I love to play with him also.  He is getting to that fun age where we are able to actually play with him now.  It is so fun.  He is constantly jibber jabbering and his main thing he says now is "Da Da Da"  all day long too.  I'm not sure if he knows what he is actually saying but sometimes when Bryan leaves the room, you can hear Bryce start to say "Da Da Da."  So I don't know if I can say that "Da Da Da" is his first official word or not.  Bryan likes to think it is though :)

  P.S. They don't celebrate Halloween here in Spain, so we weren't able to dress Bryce up.  But Bryce actually decided that he wanted to have a Halloween costume and he picked it out all by himself... he was an "Ellis Attitude"  and some of you know what an "Ellis Attitude" is and that it can be a pretty scary thing!  Not only was he an "Ellis Attitude" for Halloween, he decided to stay in character well into the next day, which is today.  We still love him though.

He claps his hands for "patty cake" now

He is always sitting on his knees

Bryce was pretty upset that we took him off the swing because it was time to leave the park

We finally got him to smile though

Walking home from the park

Bryan is trying to bite his cheek

My 2 favorite boys!!!!
