Iced In!

What a great week! No school, No power, and Going Crazy.

Our house has been with no power since Tuesday around noon. We have gotten out today and hope our power will be on soon. Here is what we saw

Brycen is now 8 months. He is into EVERYTHING!! He crawls everywhere, stands on everything, and is starting to like to eat new foods. He has tried toast, waffle, egg yolk, oatmeal, and noodles. He likes it but doesn't get much in his mouth. He enjoys waving bye-bye, is starting to try to call the hogs, and put his hand in front of his nose when he has a "shoo-E." He loves to say da da and hi and lots of other noises and screams. Brycen still only has two teeth but I think more will be in any day.

Prayer Request

We received word today that Brycen's friend Caden is still struggling and fighting every minute for his life. His family is in dire need of our prayers and support. As one thing gets better something else goes wrong and the doctors at Children's continue to look for answers. Please add him to your prayer list that answers may be found and that his family be comforted during this difficult time.

Remember to give thanks for those of us that remain healthy.

Hair, there, and everywhere!

Brycen's hair has started to grow over his ears, so a trim was much in need. Brycen got his first haircut today!

People have told me, "you'll spend one whole year of your life trying to get him to walk and talk and the rest of your life trying to get him to sit down and be quiet," but I didn't think it would come true so fast. While Brycen isn't talking yet, he is scooting and crawling EVERYWHERE! We have reached the point that we can't take our eyes off of him. Just the other day, we were cleaning the kitchen while Brycen was playing with his toys in the living room. All of a sudden, we heard noise that wasn't toys and found him under the couch playing with magazines and pictures that are under the coffee table.

It seems that crawling under things is what he likes best. Once he found out he was getting his picture taken, he crawled under his music table. What a clown!

Scooting is his main mode of transport, and it appears that walking will happen before crawling. He discovered this week that he can pull up on anything and is now circling tables, chairs, etc. He even stands by the door to look outside.

We've had an eventful week with him and enjoy every minute of it. We are so blessed to have our family.
