PhotoShop Junkie

Erin, David & I got Mom Photoshop Elements for Mother's Day. I was playing around with it Saturday evening and I was able to get 1 picture edited. It's going to take me a little while to get used to the program - but it's so much fun!

This is one of his 6 month pictures

I thought it looked pretty awesome! It can get a little addictive - I really need to just take 1 whole day off to just play with photoshop and see what all I can do!

My Little Fishy!

Last night we put Bryce in the pool for the first time. He had soooooooo much fun!!! The water temperature was around 86 degrees so it was perfect for Bryce to really enjoy himself. He splashed around everywhere, I can't wait to get him back in soon.

First time in the swimming pool!

Daddy and Bryce enjoying the pool!!

He was very serious most of the time, but we did get a few smiles and giggles out of him - of course I didn't have my camera ready when that happened!

He just loved to splash around!!
Always trying to reach for the water - he loved to just touch the water!
Just lounging - relaxing after a long day at Stacia's!!!!!

After swimming it was time to eat - I think the pool wore Bryce out more than anything, he was falling asleep while eating! Notice the messy face, he was just too tired to eat!

My Sweet Baby Boy

The month of June has been a VERY BUSY month with celebrations, travel and just good fun times. There is still so much to come this month, that I'm going to wait and try to update the blog all at once...we'll see how that works out!!

In the meantime, I wanted to share some cute pictures I got of Bryce last night.

It all started when he was sitting on the floor playing like a big boy.....

....then he started cheesing for the camera!!!

My favorite picture from last night...my sweet baby boy!

6 Month Photos

Soooooo...I'm finally getting Bryce's 6 month pictures posted. Let's just say, it was a long week last week and I was too tired to work on them! I picked out my favorites, and still ended up with several...but I've narrowed it down to 10 pictures! Enjoy....

Sitting Tall!

Bryce is really sitting up well, here are a few pictures I got of him last night sitting.

I think he was telling me a story...or maybe telling me to get this crazy camera out of his face!!

And then he found the TV!!!!

He is quickly out growing his infant car seat, so we made the purchase of a new convertible car seat. This thing is massive!!! It's like his own lazy boy, I don't think we will be hearing many complaints from him while traveling. It should make for a comfortable ride for when we decide to drive the 14 hours to Virginia or the 4 hours to Iowa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nightly Entertainment

Bryce has become much more interactive these days. He is really "talking" alot. He keeps us entertained most evenings...which is good, because it seems to wear him out and he sleeps REALLY GOOD!!!!

Here is a cute video of Bryce "talking" to a bear that Erin got at Dave & Busters. It also shows how well Bryce is sitting up now!!
(Just ignore Wheel of Fortune in the background, for some reason the TV was up REALLY loud!)

Bryce is 6 months old!

Hard to imagine that only 6 months ago, Dale and I were still Dale and I...but in an instant our lives were changed and it feels as if Bryce has been with us the entire time.

Bryce had his 6 month check up yesterday. He weighed 19 pounds 2 ounces and was 27.5 inches long. He is growing so much!!! The doctor said we could start baby foods and he should be at least trying to use a sippy cup by the time we go back in 3 months. We can also start introducing finger foods. It's amazing to me that he is already starting baby and finger foods!!

Here's a look back at the last 6 months.

2 weeks old, sweet sleeping baby

1 month old...a John Deere Baby!

2 months old

3 months old...beginning to be much more active

4 months old...cute cowboy!

5 months old...getting so big!

Everyday I am grateful for the sweet baby boy we have...he has brought a lot of joy and happiness to our lives. Can't wait to watch him grow in the next six months!
