The Collins Family: Bryce is 8 months old

Bryce was 8 months old yesterday (no that is the reason why he has on the Happy Birthday bib-of course that is a hand me down from Grant's 1st birthday-hehe). He is still an extremely happy baby and smiles all the time. Here are all of his updates and new things.

Weight-around 17 pounds is what he weighed at the Dr last week when we went-he had a virus and a sinus infection- 4 days of high fever:( Not sure on height.

Diapers-still size 3 and clothing still wearing 6-12 months depending on brand

Feeding-Bryce has tried LOTS of new finger foods in the past couple of weeks. I have given up on baby food-he won't even open his mouth for it anymore. He is so stubborn! He has had pizza (ate a whole piece last night), fish, avocado, mixed vegetables, tortillas, toast, cheese, yogurt melts, kolache bread, small pieces of chicken and pasta and I am sure some other things I am leaving out. He doesn't want to be fed-he wants to feed himself! Mr. Independent! He is still getting all breast milk and still debating whether we are going to start some formula this month. Getting 5 feedings of milk a day between 6-12 ounces when getting a bottle. Going to cut him down to 4 feedings this month now that he is eating more.

Still 2 naps a day (sometimes a 3rd cat nap)- 1-2 hours in morning and 2-3 in afternoon.

Movement-Bryce starting crawling a day before he turned 8 months. I posted a video of his crazy crawling yesterday. He also loves to roll around the room to get objects he wants-mainly cords, Grant's toys, phones, remotes, books, etc. I don't know if I am ready for all of this again!

Favorites-Bryce loves to have things over his face. When I change his diaper in our bedroom he always rolls over to the drapes to play in them. He also likes a good game of peek-a-boo. Of course he is still crazy about his big brother and doggie and likes to play and chew on books (still no teeth).

First Word-Mum ma. Starting saying Mum Ma a few weeks ago.

After being sick for a week and being held all the time he is now mad every time you leave him in the room and throws a fit! Pretty funny because he then smiles when you return. He is also is not afraid to let you know he is mad when you take toys or objects a way from him.

That's it for the updates-here are a few cute pictures from the past 2 weeks.
