First Haircut

Bryce had his first haircut today. He sat fairly still and didn't cry. By the end he was definitely ready to get down. He thought the tractor chair was pretty fun.

Clown Hat

Bryce is going to be a clown for Halloween. When I tried on his hat he wouldn't let me take it off.

I have a new cousin.

My cousin Mason Michael Garcia was born Sunday morning at 2:42 am. He weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 19.5". He is a cutie.

Bryce was a trooper. He stayed awake (and happy) until 11:45 in the waiting room. Nathan and I then took him to the truck for a nap. He slept until about 2:15 when his Grampa came to tell us that Emily was going to start pushing. He was then up until about 4:45 when we left to go home.

He had fun entertaining all of us as we were waiting. He showed off his button, danced, and took us on walks. He also found a new girlfriend, Stacey, his Uncle Justin's sister.

Working with Daddy

We stopped by Nathan's new Santa Rosa office. Bryce wanted to help Daddy work!

15 Months

Bryce turned 15 Months old today. At his 15th month check he was 24 pounds (fully dressed with a wet diaper - so really about 23 pounds) and 32 inches. The doctor said he is doing great.

He has 11 teeth now - 4 front top, 4 front bottom, 2 bottom molars, and the upper left molar is just peaking through.

He says Mama and Dada and yea. He can sign more, food, drink, help, birdie, bye-bye, night-night, potty, finished, and please. He also put two signs together "More Food". He is "talking" more and more. His sounds are started to vary and he is being more vocal. Bryce is signing drink in the picture with his finger pointing to his mouth.

He is still sleeping through the night for the most part. The last few weeks he has been waking up every few nights asking for food or a drink. Maybe he is growing or maybe it is because we've been staying at my parent's house while they are on vacation. Hopefully he stops this when we return home.

He is skipping one of his two naps more and more these days. I think very soon we'll transition to just one nap a day (hopefully a long one).

He is still nursing just 4 times a day; when he wakes up, before naps and before bed. However, he will often skip a feeding or only nurse for a couple of minutes. I think very soon he will give it up completely.

He almost has enough hair in the back to warrant getting it cut. It is still very fine in the back, but getting long. The front is starting to fill in.

He understands most of what you say to him. He'll respond by using his signs or shaking his head yes or no.

As always, I'm enjoying every minute I get to spend with him. What a blessing.
