Catching Up

We have had lots going on in the Ruple household over the last few weeks. Bryson is crawling like a champ and into EVERYTHING (seriously- EVERYTHING!). He is also pulling up to standing without even blinking. Lately he has even started to let go with one hand, and try to balance. It is so cute! He looks like he is surfing. He has even mastered falling on his behind and practices that often. He will fall down to a sitting position, stand up, fall down, stand up- you get the idea. He is really discovering the world around him. We have finally baby-proofed but count on him to show us new things that need to be locked up as he gets into them every day. He has changed so much in the last seven months (he turned seven months old on Wednesday and we can't believe how fast time is flying by)! We love this sweet boy and often spend time just hanging out as a family on our living room floor. That's definitely our favorite thing to do these days.

Here are a few pictures from the last several weeks...

Christmas! In February?

Granny and Grandpa came to visit and brought all of the Christmas presents that Bryson didn't get to open on Christmas day (because he was so sick). Bryson really got into ripping the paper- and of course- sticking it straight into his mouth!

MeMa got Bryson this cute little talking dog (although sometimes it talks when no one is around, without any buttons being pressed- not so sure about that). :)

Grandpa

Granny

Daddy and Bryson working on his new wagon! Thanks Granny and Grandpa. We have already spent a lot of time pulling Bryson in circles in our living room and throughout the rest of the house. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can go for a cruise in the neighborhood.

Just relaxing in his new ride!

One afternoon Maddie came over to play! Here are a couple of cute shots I got...

Grandma and PawPaw also came for a visit. PawPaw spent A LOT of time flying Bryson around the house like an airplane (he used to do this to me when I was little!). Bryson laughed and laughed and laughed- and then he buried his head and started screaming when he put him down! Love watching them spend time together!

Uncle Matt came over and got in a few laughs...

Grandma

So, that's what we've been up to around here. We also had the HORRIBLE awful disgusting stomach virus (Jason and I). Grandma ended up coming back again to help us with Bryson (thanks so much Grandma- we couldn't have made it without you!). We're looking forward to a weekend full of Valentine's Day fun.

More to come...
