Happy Father's Day!

Bryson and his daddy...












Bryson and his grandpas...

Bryson can...

...feed himself, oh no! Here he is with potatoes. His other favorite feed himself food is cereal. It ends up EVERYWHERE but it's fun to watch (and photograph)!

My first day home...

... and I got to watch BOTH the little monsters!! They had so much fun together, when they were awake at the same time, which was only twice for about 20 minutes!! Check out Maya taking Bryce's binky and Bryce continuously showing me where Maya's nose is (his latest trick, thanks Grammie)!

Bryson's Hair

Ever the mystery... and yes, he woke up like that!

There they are...

Bryson's two teeth are finally very visable and boy does he know how to use them. From chewing meet to biting daddy's shoulder Bryson's got the chomper usage down pat!

Hello Nana and Papa!

While visiting Michigan for Labor Day, Bryson got to see his Nana and Papa. He had a good time showing them all his new tricks. He was pretty bummed to see them go...

Bryson's first time....

...in Michigan waters. Despite the frigid water we decided Bryce needed to get use to the lake, so I took him in for a wade in our lake. He wasn't too sure of it at first (it was freezing after all) but he quickly warmed up to the concept and began to even enjoy the sand in between his toes! He was only upset when a wave came by and got his suit wet... I think it was a little too high for comfort. (Check out our little beach bum!)

I'm sorry!

Sorry I've neglected keeping you all up to date!! Bryson and the end of the school year have kept me as busy as can be! Updates coming this weekend... I promise!! (If only I had a face like this, then I bet you would forgive me!)

How to keep a 10 month old occupied...

...put him in a bowl! Make faces at him and take pictures!

Late afternoon at the Buckerts

Bryson is becoming quite obsessed with our neighbor's dog and children. Upon waking in the morning he signals towards the window, as if to ask for it to be opened. I more often than not oblige this request where upon Bryson looks to see if the kids or Sadie are outside in the yard (they never are being that Bryson enjoys waking before the sane world chooses to do so). Every naptime wake-up follows this same routine and before bed we must wish Sadie and the kids goodnight.



Sensing this as an opportunity I have taken to putting Bryson in his playpen in the afternoons to give me a few moments to catch up on the days e-mails and such. As long as the shades are open and Bryson can see out he is enthralled with the occasional 'run bys' of both the children and his beloved Sadie. This afternoon he was jabbering out the window so much I had to capture the moment and share it...

Are the kids in that yard?

Maybe the kids are in this yard...

Look kids, I have a ball, can I play too?
