Bryce is 11 months old! And boy is he changing/growing like crazy. Since the last post, he has learned to pull up on everything, and with that comes standing against/walking along the furniture. He seems like he will be walking in no time. He gets all around the room by scaling the furniture and will even let go for a second to get to us or to something else. He doesn't have the best balance yet, and can't really stand for more than a few seconds, but once he figures that out, I'm sure he will be walking all over! He loves to play, especially with whatever Grant is playing with, which is causing some issues, but Grant is slowly learning to be patient with his brother and try to share even though it's hard. Bryce's newest tricks also include putting his arms up when we say, "touchdown!" or pointing to things when we ask where they are such as pointing to the sky when we ask where the airplane is. Bryce is also getting his 8th tooth in at the moment--and 6 of those all have come in the last 6 weeks. Luckily it hasn't bothered him at all, but he does want to try to eat more finger foods or whatever we are eating! I feel like he has grown up more this month than any other, and here we are getting close to his first birthday....unbelievable!
We've had a good last month of summer as well. We went to Kings Island a few weeks ago with some family members for GE day, and since the boys still get in for free, we knew they would love it as well. We were lucky enough to have my parents there to help, so Doug and I did get to ride some of the big rides, but we had a blast watching Grant in the kid area. He loved the bumper cars, tiny roller coaster, the airplanes, and the swings to name a few. Bryce got to ride on a few things like the carousel, but he was content just watching everything around him!
We've spent the last few weeks trying to be outside as much as possible. We travel around the many parks near us, go to the zoo, play in our yard, and play with our new friends in the neighborhood. (There are actually 4 boys, including Grant, on our street that were all born in April, 2010....crazy!) We are getting to know them and love hanging out. We are loving the cooler weather and football as well. Now it's off to pumpkin patches, apple picking, and celebrating Bryce's first birthday!
