Happy Valentine's Day

Visit from Grammy & Papa!

A few weekends ago, Grammy and Papa Rodgers came down for a visit!  Bryson had so much fun showing them all of his toys and playing together!





Showing off his mad skills!



Papa playing Angry Birds!







We got to go out for an early dinner at BJ's Brewery on Sunday and Bryson was a champ!  We had a wonderful few days with them and can't wait for them to come for a visit again soon

Bryson and his BFF!

Bryson has a BFF!  His name is John Douglas and they are only 2 weeks apart!  John Douglas' mom, Robin and I try to get together on a regular basis for the boys to play and also for a little mommy converstion too!  

It is so fun to watch the boys play together!

9 Months...

I can't believe that our baby boy is 9 months already!  The time truly has flown by! 

He is getting so big!  He already has 6 teeth and is pulling himself up and cruising around on furniture.

He loves to hear himself babble and make noise! 

 And of course, he is always smiling for everyone! 

The Lord blessed us with one of the happiest babies I have ever known!

At his 9 month check up:

19 lbs. 3 oz. (25%)

27.5 inches (21%)

Still a peanut but perfect as can be!

My Gym!

In the fall, we signed up Bryson for a "mommy & me" type gym class at My Gym in Powell!

 He absolutely loved it!  We made a few new friends and Daddy was even able to join us a few times!

 

Unfortunately, My Gym closed just before the new year but we are excited to be starting a new music class at WeJoySing next week!

Bryson's First Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, we drove into Youngstown to enjoy the holiday with our families!  

We started at my mom's with a little get together before church!  Church was moved up to 4pm which worked perfect with Bryson's bedtime so we were able to go!

 After church, we went back to my mom's to open our traditional Christmas PJ's (even Bryson got a pair).   Then we were off to bed!  Angie and Chris even spent the night too!

On Christmas morning we woke up bright and early to see what Santa brought us!  Bryson loved each of his presents and was so excited to see every one!  His favorite present was a bucket, yes a bucket.  (A cute little gift from Aunt Gigi, a bucket stuffed with filled snowballs for a snowball fight)!  He also enjoyed all the wrapping paper!

Super cool car from Nanny, Poppi, and Aunt Mimi!

After brunch, we headed over to Jeff's mom for a super fun day!  Jeff's Aunt Georgie, Uncle Dick and cousins Brad and Rachel made it in from New Jersey!  It was wonderful to see them and have them meet Bryson!  

 It was a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

Merry Christmas
