Brycen ended up getting sick 1am Sunday morning so it turned out that my idea was perfect. I held him most the day as I read the Ensign and cooked funeral potatoes and homemade rolls to eat with our ham later that evening. And Daddy went to church to hold down the Nursery fort (where we currently serve). We then ate dinner with our good friends across the parking lot (fourth dinner in a row eating with them :). It was a wonderful day and stay tuned for Easter pictures at the end.
Since I haven't blogged in a while, let's just say a few things have happened recently in the Walker household so I figure I will share them in order of occurrence.
I have made it a goal to document more this time around (picture wise) and I THOUGHT this would make a cute picture...
Brycen has this slight thing about first, being put in the spotlight and second, doing something he doesn't want to do and in this case, it was all wrong. He did NOT want to hold the stick. Daddy says he can't blame him. haha. Oh well, I have to admit that the giggles these pictures bring me far outweigh the guilt. :) We will just have to make sure the new addition doesn't take the above pictures the wrong way and understands that he/she is wanted! Afterall, Brycen currently has a slight obsession with babies.
A bit blurry but it's official! November 1st is my due date (putting me at 13 weeks today) and even though the chances of having it on my due date are low....11/1/11 would be awesome!
Brycen made a big boy move recently and loves his new bed. He refers to himself as "baby" and this is "baby's bed" and he won't let anyone but his friend, Madden, sit on it with him.
Brycen also received another haircut recently. It was way overdue and... something if up to Brycen, he never wants to do again. He cried on Daddy's shoulder during the entire thing saying, "DaDa's turn.....Mama's turn". Someone other than baby's turn. If you ask him now where his hair is, he says "All gone".
I sure miss these curls.
but I don't miss the constant bedhead he had between baths. He is very anti-Mommy bringing a brush within a foot radius of his head so... to prevent Mommy's temptations to spit in her hands and use that to tame his hair, a haircut was in order.
Ward Easter egg hunt. Brycen loved it. So fun to watch him get into it since last Easter, he wasn't even walking yet.
And the hike we did with some friends after. So fun.
Brycen with his haircut and the family Easter basket.
I have this obsession with watching Brycen sleep. I love how peaceful he looks and his skin is always so smooth. I love kissing his forehead and cheek before leaving. And who would've ever though that he would be puking just four short hours later?
Yesterday was Bryce and I's 3rd wedding anniversary. Even though Brycen was still feeling sick and we had been up with him all night the night before and Mommy had a doctor's appt to get her blood drawn (I hate needles...), it was a good day. Brycen and I slept most the day away but when Daddy came home, we had a delicious steak dinner/picnic from Applebee's take-out on our living room floor, followed by watching, "Tangled" (cute movie!). Brycen stayed up with us and watched almost the entire movie, giggling and saying "oh no!" at parts, before falling asleep in my arms.
AND...Brycen is feeling so much better today! He even used the toilet for the first time (his idea, he approached me saying, "baby's turn" this morning)! Will I get a short break from diapers after all? I guess time will tell.
