Christmas

Bryce had a wonderful Christmas. We did our traditional Christmas Eve at Nathan's Dad's house, had Christmas morning at Nanny and Pawka's house, and Christmas afternoon at the Husen's. Bryce opened his presents on Christmas Eve, but on Christmas morning he only made it through a few gifts before deciding rolling in the paper was more fun. We saved the rest of his gifts from Christmas morning for the next day. He also opened most of his gifts that afternoon from Grammy and Grampa, but wasn't that into it. Some of his favorite new toys are his tricycle, block set, couch, and truck. He was a very spoiled little boy as you can see from the picture of all of his gifts. He got more gifts than he knows what to do with. Our family room is packed with toys.

17 Months

Bryce's vocabulary has really started to expand. He now says Daw for Dog, BaeBae for Baby, Meow for Cat and can sign hurt. He knows how to say Dada, but when Nathan asks Bryce who he is, Bryce will say Mama and laugh. Bryce thinks it is funny to call Nathan Mama.

His lower left eye tooth has finally come through. We're still waiting for the other three. He has been drooling like crazy for several weeks now, so hopefully they'll come through soon and we'll be done with teething for a while.

Bryce is starting to get more and more opinionated about what he does and does not want to do. He's had some pretty good fits. He's even hit me a couple of times when he is really mad. I try to stay calm and tell him it is not nice to hit Mommy and then redirect him. Sometimes when he has a fit it is really hard not to laugh.

Daddy set up Bryce's train that he got for Christmas last year. He loves watching it go around the track.

Bryce found Mommy's scarf and thought it made a great toy.
