Sunday at the Gerstberger's

Three boys and a football game. Is this every Daddy's dream?

starting to sit up

Bryce is really making a lot of progress this week. All of a sudden he is doing so many things. He is able to sit up with a little assistance from the boppy and can stay this way for a few minutes!

Also look at that new focus he has on toys. He has had interest in hanging toys or toys in his car seat, but now he is checking out everything!

nolan the babysitter

Nolan is very serious about helping Daddy when Mommy is at work. He will do anything to keep Bryce from crying and anything to lend Daddy a hand.

rolling

Bryce started rolling from his back to his belly! I am so surprised because I thought he would be a little slower to hit these movement milestones. He is so big that I thought it would be hard for him. Needless to say he proved me wrong.
He is rolling around all the time now. The minute he is down he is immediately on his belly.

can you beat that giggle?

camping out for labor day

Camping really doesn't get any better than being in your own back yard. We had all the campfire favorite goodies and then slept in our tent. Nolan loved it!
Daddy and Mommy were very stiff the next day.

first time in the swing

Bryce tried out the baby swing at our local playground. I am not sure if he enjoyed swinging or just enjoyed hearing me talk to him and make funny noises.
Bryce also started blowing raspberries on September 4!

wiggle worm

Bryce loves to take a bath. He kicks his legs and splashes the water. He also wiggles his way off of his bath chair. Almost instantly after I set him in, he has wiggled right down into the water. I can only assume that he really likes to get submerged in the bubbles and water. He takes up almost the whole bathtub when he does this and Nolan only gets a little corner. No matter how many times I move him back onto his seat he wiggles right back into the water!

trying to roll

Bryce seems to want to roll from his back to his belly, but his arms keep getting in the way!

talking to the camera

Bryce has just started to accept and get used to the camera in his face all the time. I can't help it. I am determined not to let him be the second baby that was never photographed or put on video.

what's not to love...

about two cups, two kids and a running sink?
This is the kind of fun that you don't stop even though it is ridiculously messy and wet in the house.

3 month pics

The photographer had Bryce giggling so much!

daddy's version of nap time

Everyone lays down. Daddy sings "hush little baby" with crazy lyrics. His singing starts to fade out. Daddy falls asleep. Both boys are still awake!

just fun

kicking like crazy in the bouncer

you should see those feet go!

Happy 3 Month Birthday, Bryce!

Bryce turned 3 months old while we were on vacation.
He is still growing like crazy and started wearing 9 month size clothes. He enjoys spending some time in his exercise mat and is starting to grab for the animals. He loves to talk. He makes a lot of loud squeals and loves to hear people imitate him. He loves to be held uprght over my shoulder. He loves to take a bath and kicks like crazy. He loves hearing zubers.
When we get home from the beach he will start wearing a size 4 diaper.
Bryce also rolled over for the first time from belly to back this day!

Chincoteague

We had a fantastic week in Chincoteague with my family. The boys got to spend a lot of time with their cousins, and the beach was awesome. When hurricane Bill was coming by the coast, the ocean made a river into the bay. It was an amazing sight and made great tidal pools to play in.
Nolan loved riding on the trolley to get ice cream, and he also loved exploring the pony tales stores. Bryce seemed to be lulled to sleep by the ocean and didn't seem to mind sand all over him.
