oh dear bryce, it is so funny to see what a mind of your own you already have. last night i stopped by your house for a minute and your mommy was trying to put you in your high chair and you didn't want to go so as she is holding you in the air, you stick both your legs straight out at a 90% angle, as if to say, "so there, try to put me in now" . i was cracking up and i even laughed about it as i lay in bed last night. what a charmer you are. i love you

YOU ARE WALKING

Wow, can't believe that you are walking now. at 10 months, and how cute you are. the little penguin waddle. i can't believe just one year ago you were still curled up in your mommies belly. how quick we see life pass when we watch a little one grow. i will always remember the day you were born. your mommy was so brave. she actually let all of us come in and say hi to her while she was in labor. and she never even made a noise. i couldn't believe it. at 10:30 in the morning the doctor told her she would probably deliver you about supper time and she was bound and determined that she wasn't going to wait that long. then at 11:30 (or so) they let her push and we were all in the waiting room and all of our cell phones went off and we all scrambled to grab our phones and there was your very first picture of you and your mommy. it was the most awesome experience for me ( and i am sure everyone else in the room). and then we had to wait to be able to go see you. at first they weren't going to let your aunt staci in the room and she had tears in her eyes, she just couldn't believe they wouldn't let her in. well, they finally did let her in and she was as thrilled as all of us and she has been taking your picture ever since.
you sure did make it into a family that will always shower you with lots of love.
good night beautiful girl

hi my little darling,
i was just at your house and you smile as soon as you see me and follow me to the door. how cool is that?? of course when i held you you wanted to go back to your mommy, but we won't talk about that anymore.
when you were five weeks old we were all invited to a wedding in atlanta, ga and you went. hard to believe that you made the trip. everything went very well except the car ride and you screamed in your car seat. we had a hard time with that especially your mommy.
And you have been to uncle dan and aunt marissa's house in columbia md.. now uncle danny has moved to germany, so i know there is another trip in your future. can you believe you were younger that 3 and got to go to germany. you will certainly be a little world traveler. (not sure when you are going, that is why i put under 3)
we sure have a great time with you and love every minute we spend with you. xxoo
