Family Pictures

For Christmas this year I wanted to get both my parents and my in laws family pictures.  We were able to get my side of the family's done over Thanksgiving.  My family has not had our pictures taken for years!  It was so nice to get pictures of the entire family.

















10 Months



Here are Bryken's weekly pictures:
40 Weeks

42 Weeks


43 Weeks



 This little monkey is getting so big!  Bryken is moving all over the place and he is getting so close to crawling.  I'm actually pretty surprised that he isn't crawling yet.  He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  He has started moving his hands a little but he will fall down on his tummy.




He is trying so hard to get around to everything.  I'm sure he is really close to getting there, but for now, I'm enjoying the limited mobility.


How cute is this boy on his hands and knees though?

Bryken still loves his jumper though.

This silly boy is crazy in the tub.  He splashes so much that he soaks everyone and everything.

Bryken loves being read to.  He loves his books.  It is so fun to be to this stage.

Bryken had his first Christmas this past month.  He was more interested in the wrapping paper and boxes than many of the toys, but he was a blast.

Bryken and Grandma Anderson.



Bryken got this stand and play table from his Grandparents.  He loves to stand up next to it.  Such a big boy!

Here the kids are Christmas Eve night ready for Santa.


The entire fam in our Christmas Jammies.

This is Bryken on Christmas morning.



Bryken and Maycee on Christmas Day.  These two are going to be such good buddies.


We recently got a ton of snow over Christmas.  Naturally, I had to spend a ridiculous amount for a snowsuit for Bryken that he will probably wear once or twice.  He sure looked cute though.


He wasn't a big fan of the snow, but at least he was warm!


This month has been great with Bryken.  He is finally sleeping through the night.  It is absolute heaven.  Bryken will sleep from about 7:00 until we get him up in the morning for Daycare.  It is a huge improvement from the many interruptions we were getting a couple of months ago.

He started cutting another tooth this month.  Last month I thought there was a tooth cutting through the top but nothing actually came through.  He had four on top and three on the bottom.  He finally started cutting the fourth on the bottom so the little guy has eight teeth!  He is a biter too, which is fun.
Bryken is such a snugly baby.  I hope that he stays this way forever.  He always wants to be held and will rest his head on my chest.  He must know that I don't want him to grow up and it makes me cope with it better.  I love my little snugly guy.

He has really started talking a bunch this past month.  He still says, "Ma-ma" and "Da-da", but now he started saying, "Ba-ba" when he wants a bottle.  Averie is counting down the days until he starts saying her name.

We love our little guy.  What a blessing it is to have him!
