standing in the crib

wow, I am thinking it won't be long until he climbs out because he is constantly watching Michael and Nolan climb in and out.

pulling and pushing up

Bryce figured out how to pull and push up to a stand. He is so thrilled with this new skill that he is standing everywhere. He can crawl a few feet now, so he scopes out a place to stand and gets right to business!

no spoon

Bryce wants to control the things that go in his mouth at mealtime. He doesn't want a spoon, and he wants to try to drink everything. He is pretty persistent so I often give in and mealtime ends up looking very very messy.

Bryce growling

Bryce started a new funny noise...growling.
I am not sure where he gets these silly noises but he is very vocal. He loves to hear someone growl back at him

Nolan's first day of School

Nolan had his first day of school at the Montessori Children's House.
We had been talking about going to school and learning new things for a few weeks so that the first day would be smooth. As we discussed going to school, Nolan said he didn't want to go and would be nervous.
When the first day came, he still said he didn't want to go. Of course I was thinking the same thing but I put on my bravest face and took him for his first day without Mommy.
He went in and looked nervous, then when I said goodbye he screamed. It was the worst thing I have ever done. I had to turn away and walk out crying myself.
When I picked him up he was happy as could be, sitting on Miss Sue's lap and singing in music class. He said he had fun and liked school.

Bryce's first swimming

Bryce had his first swimming class, and Matt and I missed it.
We had planned a trip to PSU without the kids. Luckily we have a fabulous support system here, and they teamed up to get the job done. My two sisters and my mom were all involved.
Aunt Krissy took both of the boys swimming and said they did great!
Bryce is a splasher which is no surprise because he splashes like crazy in the tub.
Nolan has been swimming independently for 2 months and he is now the best swimmer in his class!

pulling up

Bryce can now pull up and stand all by himself!
