Bruce gets solid food!

Bruce got his first taste of solid foods over the weekend. He wore his special "I love my Grandpa" bib since Pops is in Japan for the next couple of weeks. He looks like such a big boy sitting up in his chair! The first few are at my parent's house and the last couple are back at our house.

This post is probably boring to everyone but me, but if I didn't post this kind of stuff I'd never remember!

Why can't dust be good?

As I am feverishly cleaning my house so that my coworkers can come over tomorrow I'm wishing that dust was something people liked. I mean, why can't people come over and say, "Wow, all that dust on that fake tree looks so good! You must have been saving for years to get that much!"

I am by no means a hospitable person, but I'm trying to be. We're trying to have people come over so that way I'm forced to keep my house clean. It's kind of working... I can't wait until Bruce is big enough to do the dishes. That's why you have kids right? That's why my parents had us...to clean the kitchen! Just kidding...kind of! :-)

Go Sooners!

My dad is an OU fan so I grew up cheering on the Sooners. As a result, Bruce is also an OU fan! His good friends Tammy and Spencer (and Cricket), the biggest OU fans, provided this awesome attire for him to wear during OU games.


Last night he was really getting into it, cheering them on. Okay, I'm lying, he was asleep...but he looked really cute! Robin wanted in on the pictures too!

Bruce LOVES Robin...and well Robin loves Bruce back. Last night Bruce "kissed a girl, not sure he liked it..." (side note, I hate that song, but it gets stuck in your head worse than any song I've ever heard!)

Bruce's new trick...

We always joked that my niece was showing off her tricks...kind of felt like we were talking to a puppy. "Gracie, roll over...Gracie, show us your muscles"...etc. So Bruce has his own new trick. He can officially roll over. Our babysitter called today and said he'd rolled all the way over on the bed. He's trying to get to the cat. We caught these pictures the other day as he was rolling over in his bouncy seat. He's funny, he can roll from back to front, but not front to back. That means once he's on his stomach he's just mad and can't figure out how to get back!

Also in these pictures, you'll see he's all the way at the bottom. He's figured out if he scoots himself down all the way then he can grab the toy and get them in his mouth. If I put him up too high he just gets mad.




One other thing. I just have to say I LOVE our babysitter. She's so awesome. I got a text from her the other day saying she decided her and Bruce were going to start having Bible Class every day. So they sing kid's songs, read the Bible, and pray. How awesome is that? What a wonderful woman we get to have in our lives. Bruce is very lucky!

I'm addicted...

To Nintendo Wii. I have even been caught nursing Bruce with the Boppy while playing Nintendo over his head. No, not Wii Sports, MARIO BROTHERS! Oh how I've missed Mario!

That's my dirty little secret. I'm in love with Mario. It all started when my parents bought one of the original Nintendos way back when. From there we all got Gameboys and it's been history since then. I'm ashamed/a little proud to admit that I've owned every version of the Gameboy.

There, I've said it, now you all know my dirty little secret!

We're DONE!

Bruce is officially off his monitor. I honestly have no idea what those people are doing. I'm pretty sure their right hands don't talk to their left hands since one day we're hearing two more months and a couple days later they say he's done! Who knows...all I know is we can take him off and I feel really good about it!

Woo hoo!! Bruce is officially wireless! :-)

Here's a picture of the monitor for posterity.

Bad Mommy...

So Bruce can almost roll from back to front now. If there's something for him to use as leverage he can do it with his legs. He demonstrated this the other day on the recliner as he proceeded to fall out. Now that's not even why I'm a bad mommy...from what I hear it happens to most moms at least once. I'm a bad mommy because I took a picture of it! I saw it happening and grabbed the camera and not Bruce. Luckily I did catch him right at the last moment and kept him from hitting the ground (the wet spot in the other corner is where Bruce had been before and I moved him). He can also flip out of his swing if he's not strapped in. He hasn't done it yet, but he's come close when he got really mad the other day.



Here's a video of me trying to catch him blowing raspberries. Warning: Don't watch if you get motion sick...the swing is moving the whole time! :-)

Finally, here's Bruce in his swim diaper. He tried swimming this week at his friend Leyna's house. It lasted all of two seconds before he started screaming his head off. He preferred lounging in the sun...


Tomorrow is round two of immunizations. Woo hoo! Not very excited at all! Also, Bruce has two more months on his monitor. After setting it off for three nights in a row, all night long, we went to the doctor. Ultimately they decided nothing's wrong with him, his alarm limits were just too high. They've lowered them and it hasn't sounded since, but our two months still starts over...
