Terrible

I've been terrible at taking pictures lately and even worse at blogging. I feel like Bryce still does something new everyday and I can't keep up.

New trick #1: Climbing in cabinets

Anyway, for those who are wondering, he's not walking yet. We're trying to encourage him but I think he's really content to speed-crawl. I just keep telling myself he'll get there eventually. Because he will.

New trick #2: Climbing on the dishwasher

He's showing some signs of readiness, though and the other night we got him to take a couple of steps from Matt to me. Afterwards, he refused to stand when either of us were near him. He's funny, that kid.

New trick #3: Being ridiculously attached to his blanket

Anyway, Matt is in school full swing which means he goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, plays with Bryce, bathes Bryce, and then studies till bedtime. Fun, huh?

New trick #4: Riding on toys all by himself

Bryce also really likes his wagon. Generally, I use it to haul him around the yard when I'm out there because he's too heavy for me to carry for long. It works great when I'm taking trash out to the cans. I just put Bryce in one end and the trash bags in the other. Bryce thinks he's getting a special treat and I don't have to carry anything.

New trick #5: Not yanking his hat off the moment it touches his head.


The Brummitts, our friends from Prague, visited this month and Bryce was thrilled to have a constant playmate. They rocked in his chair.

New trick #6: Getting on and off his rocking chair.

Swam in the pool.

Sorry, I didn't get a photo of them together. I think these cheeks suffice.

And rode in the wagon.


Abby also came for a visit and shared her bed and toys.

New trick #7 : Playing nice with Abby

New trick #8: Riding his toys. Sometimes backward.

New trick #9: Perfecting his Captain Destructo act

Here's a couple of videos of Bryce doing funny things (they're funny to us, anyway).

New trick #10: Finally pulling his weight with the housework

New trick #11: Blowing his nose

New trick #12: Kisses/licking
