Four Months Old

On November 10th Bryson turned four months old! He had his four month check-up on the 6th. Everything went perfectly. Bryson weighed 14lbs 14oz and was 24.25 inches long. He had his second round of shots and this time things went much more smoothely (no 4am trips to IHOP for Jason and Bryson). Bryson slept for a few hours after his appointment, but then was cheerful as usual for the rest of the afternoon.

A little bit about our four month old--- He has an infectious laugh that we can't get enough of! We are really enjoying getting know his sweet personality. He is rolling over and over and over, and raising himself up completely on his arms. He is scooting across the floor by raising his rear-end up into the air and then pushing as hard as he can with his feet (usually while letting out a few loud grunts). He hasn't quite figured out that he needs to raise himself up on his arms at the same time, so he usually ends up nose-diving into the floor. He might be crawling sooner rather than later! We aren't really encouraging crawling, trying to hold onto these last few days of sanity before our house is forever turned upside down! :)

After a few small transition "road bumps" Bryson is doing great in daycare. I am also beginning to enjoy my time at work; being a nurse again and helping people in this community is a true passion of mine. For now, we seem to have found a really good balance. I'm learning that balance is key in everything.

We're looking forward to seeing what month five holds for our little guy! We will definitely keep you posted!
