Bath Time and Fishing Fun!

Again, my pictures have loaded in reverse order......I really must learn how to fix that problem!! Gramps recently got Blaine his first fishing pole and a new life jacket for the boat! Blaine was thrilled.........Today he got to go fishing with Daddy and Gramps in Nana's pond, and he 'caught' his first fish.

Here he is with Gramps and the fish

Daddy, Blaine, and the fish

Here is Blaine working on his casting skills (or lack there of)


And Blaine and Bryce recently took their first bath together! Blaine enjoyed it greatly and Bryce, well, he may have gotten a little more water in his face than he was accustom to!

Life with Bryce

Blaine is very into baseball right now. He LOVES to hit the ball!

Bryce's first trip to church

Ready for a baseball game!

This is the outfit and blanket we wanted to bring him home from the hospital in, but it was WAY to big. I had to send my mom out to get a premie outfit, and he really wasn't that tiny!

Trying to get a picture of these two together is impossible. Bryce always looks like he's trying to get away or begging for help!

Just after his first bath at home

First bath at home......I have a picture of Blaine that looks EXACTLY like this. I mean I'm not sure I could even tell them apart!

Bryce turned 1 month old yesterday. Unfortunately none of these pictures were taken yesterday because my camera battery died!!! I did get a couple with Grammy's camera, but I don't have those with me right now.............I will try to post them later.

Bryce is growing like a weed and getting cuter every day! He is a good baby and usually sleeps for about 6 hours during his first stretch each night. Our only problem is what seem to be regular tummy aches each evening. Some would probably call it collic, but it's really not true collic because I can get him to calm down by walking and bouncing. It really seems to be excessive gas that he just can't get rid of......other than that he is a good baby!! He's already been shopping alot, and he's been to at least 4 or 5 baseball games and church!!

Week before last the boys and I made our first solo trip to Wal-Mart! It was a smashing success. (I certainly don't expect future trips to be that easy!) Blain enjoyed the bus-like cart with the extra child attachment, and Bryce just slept.

So far Blaine seems to have adjusted well to being a big brother! He loves Bryce and likes to 'hold' him. He will try to give him his passy when he's crying, and he's always wanting to know if 'Baby Bryce' can play baseball with him. I think my favorite is when we are getting ready to leave, Blaine will walk over to Bryce's swing or bouncy seat and say, "Come on Baby Bryce, let's go"! He says it as if Bryce can just get up and walk out the door.

They are both wonderfully sweet boys, and we are so blessed to have such happy healthy children!
