Finally Finished
This was the jacket and pants I had started before I owned a sewing machine. I finally finished it yesterday. It gave me a few challenges, but I persevered and I'm very proud of it. The funny thing is, it won't fit Bryson until he's 2 or maybe even 3. Oh well, it will look cute hanging in his nursery until then. On to the next project!

Third Halloween Party
I'm sure you're sick of seeing Bryson in his Pirate costume by now (we really got our money's worth with this costume this year!), but I have to show off his new accessory. His Pirate Ship! I had fun making it and it even has lights! Every kid there wanted a ride! This was at my ward's "Trunk or Treat". Notice I've ditched my costume and just put on anything Halloweenish. Hence the Ghostbusters shirt, flashing horns headband and ghost earrings.

Just A Taste
The ladies in our ward got together for a "soups and stews" recipe party the other day. There were so many yummy soups that warmed our bellies and our spirits. You can check out our recipes at justatastecookingclass.blogspot.com (just a taste cooking class). I guess the month before they did deserts, I missed that one... bummer! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks Kim, for putting this on. It's really a great idea.
Bryson's 15 Month Appt.
Height: 32 7/8 inches tall (95%)
Weight: 25.4 lbs (75%)
Head Circ: 19 1/2 inches (80%)
He's growing great, getting taller and thinning out. His head is starting to get more in proportion with his body. He's advancing normally with language and abilities, eating like a champ (loves vegetables and fruit...which may change when he's around 2), and interacting well with others. He loves waving bye bye but still won't say it. He's says "duck", "hot", "dada", "mom" "this", "that", "no" "vroom vroom" (with cars)... He wakes up around 7 or 8am, gets his teeth brushed 3 times a day, takes one three hour nap around noon or 1pm, and goes to bed around 8:30 or 9pm. Lately he's had some trouble going to bed, but we found if we keep his light on, he does better (afraid of the dark). I've stopped rocking him to sleep at night and I just put him down with a bottle, like we do at nap time. I know it's not the best for his teeth, but it works for us. Plus I brush his teeth so often I'm hoping it evens out. He still loves soft blankets rubbed on his face. Often he'll take his stuffed animals and hold them to his cheek as he walks around. He has free range of the house and loves getting into cabinets and playing with bowls, spoons, rolling pins, hot pads, you name it. We have to keep the bathroom doors shut because he loves playing in the toilet water and dipping his toys in it. We even lost a toothbrush when he dropped it in the toilet at a hotel (gross!). He loves his baby Einstein videos and even has his favorite parts that make him laugh every time. When we sit down to have dinner, we bless the food and Brett and I always give each other a kiss. Bryson has started leaning his forehead in for us to kiss. It melts our hearts. He is our pride and joy and we are so blessed he is healthy, happy, smart, and gosh darn cute!
