Bryant - 7 months
It has been a while since I posted a Bryant update. So sorry, but we have been busy growing.
He is 18-19 lbs. and probably 27-29 in. He is growing into his 9 month clothes. He absolutely loves Pears, Bananas and Apples. So, wouldn't you know it...Gerber makes that all in one!!! Bryant thinks that is the best thing since sliced bread. He also likes sweet potatoes, but that is the only veggie he will eat besides the occasional carrot.
He is teething! I swear all four (or more) of his bottom teeth will come in at the same time. I started using "teething tablets" and they provide instant relief. Thank goodness for those things!
He loves tummy time and bath time. He has started squill'in and shrill'in and I think I taught him how to stick his touge out at me.
We spent Memorial Day in AL with family. What a great 4 day weekend.
Some good news...I resigned from my job. My last day will be June 30th. I am really grateful that I will be able to spend my time with Bryant. I have missed him so much.
Here are some pics from the weekend: in reverse order:

Easter Weekend
We decide to head to Alabama for Easter this year. We have not been home since Reid was born in January. We had a wonderful weekend visiting with our families.
We hit the road early and stopped in Trussville to have dinner with Mema, Big Daddy, Kathy, Mitch, Alli, Rob, John and Reid. It was nice to see all of them and enjoy a home cooked meal.
Bryant cut up with his Big Daddy. They talked and talked. I love to see Bryant interact with others. He has such a personality.
Uncle Mitch hung out for a while too. Until Bryant decided to spit up all over him. It was funny, but I felt bad for Mitch. It's not fun to be spit up on.
Bryant and Reid are so close in size. It is so funny. They are going to be playing sports together before we know it.
I don't know what was making Mema and Big Daddy laugh...but we all know Bryant can be a real charmer....like his daddy.
Bryant loves music and lights. What infant doesn't, I guess. He was in awe of John's Easter toy. It was so funny watching how mesmerized he was over the spinning egg with flashing lights and music.
He was in a trance.
After dinner on Friday night we headed to McCalla to spend the night with my parents. The next morning Bryant decided to hang a little bit with his Uncle Brandon.
They look so much a like. It's really cool. We even got out Brandon's baby pictures to compare. It's the Marler chin...what I can I say...he comes by it honest.
Again, lights and music. He couldn't figure out how to make it work on his own, but when he does this will be the best toy EVER! Thanks Kacky! Bryant loves his Easter toy.
I am so glad the Maw Maw Marler, Aunt Resa and Keena came to visit with us on Saturday. They had not seen Bryant since Christmas. Bryant slept for most of the visit, but we did manage to get him in his exer-saucer for a little while.
We went to my mom and dad's church for service. They attend Rock Mountain Lakes Baptist Church in McCalla. We had breakfast prior to worship service and it was good...my dad made it, so of course it was delicious. All of my parents friends were able to see Bryant. We had a great morning with them.
I was a bit under the weather and didn't get any pictures but fortunately Miss Jan (aka Nana) took a few pics of Bryant.
After church we headed back to Trussville to have Easter dinner with Nick's family.
We got back to ATL before the sun went down and I was able to get Bryant outside and take a few pictures. He is so silly!!
I love the blue sunglasses Nana gave him and had to get a picture of him wearing them. Too cute!
This is right before bedtime. Keena was so thoughtful to bring Bryant a few things for Easter. One thing was this adorable sock monkey. I was unpacking my suit case and placed the monkey in Bryant's lap. He was cuttin up with this monkey. It was so cute.
They are best buddies!

Bryant - 5 months
It has been a fun couple of months. Bryant is getting so big. I know, I know...I say that every time I post a new blog, but its true. They do grow up fast!
He is also an official "thumb sucker"! It is so cute, but I hope its a habit we will be able to break when the time is right.
I absolutely love this picture of Bryant. He just loves sitting in his bumbo seat. He is also so responsive to my voice now which is really cool. I just hope it stays that way through the years...if you know what I mean.
For some reason he tends to lean over when sitting in his bumbo seat. Most of the time he is checking out his toes...
Here we are outside on a Saturday afternoon. Now that the weather is changing we are able to get outside more. We were getting ready to go for a walk...watching daddy wash the car. The best is Dixie girl right there with us. The whole family outside enjoying the nice day.
Dixie didn't get to go with us on the walk, but we did get to break in the umbrella stroller. It was nice! Great for gamedays!
Bryant thoroughly enjoys his exer-saucer. He just cuts up with this blue star. I wish I spoke his language sometimes...this high pitch laugh too that makes you smile from the inside out! AMAZING!
Some other exciting, non Bryant news...
I had to have an ingrown toenail removed. OUCH!!! Lets just say, I do not wish that pain on my worst enemy (if I had any enemies).
My good friend, Michelle, came to the rescue, again.
She was by my side the whole time. I squeezed her entire body during the procedure...well, the needle part. They gave me 3 shots in my toe to numb it before removing the ingrown. It really hurt!
Here we are at the Dr. office...this is an action shot. This is my real face right before they were to give me the shots in my toe.
Here is my toe after the procedure. All bandaged up and still numb:
And just to be sure I was ok and still breathing after the traumatic experience...an after shot:
The healing process is taking longer than I had hoped but at least they let me keep my toe.
We have a bunny in our backyard!!!
I saw it a few times and Dixie, of course, would notify us when it was out there, but I never got a picture until recently.
It has a white fluffy tale and everything. Fitting that this is right before Easter.
When Nick gets Bryant home in the evenings he likes to sit him outside in his bouncy seat while he waters the grass seed he put out (which the bunny eats). Here is Bryant relaxing in his seat, but in an awkward place on the deck. I guess Nick was keeping him out of the direct sun light.
Easter weekend pics to come. Stay tuned...

Bryant - 4 Months
Bryant is 4 months old!
I really wanted to capture this age so we decided to go have some professional pictures taken. We went to Portrait Innovation (thank you Alli for recommending). Bryant did very well. He never got fussy. I actually think he enjoyed all of the attention (just like his daddy).
Here are our images from the photo shoot. I have plenty to share: 8x10s, 5x7s and 3.5x5s.
Enjoy!
I think he took 3 little-bitty, tinny-tiny drops from the spoon. I think it got cold and he was no longer interested.
My parents came to visit this past weekend. They had not seen Bryant since the middle of January. We had a wonderful visit.
Pappy sang to Bryant and he just lit up!
Bryant has started sucking his thumb.
He prefers his thumb to his pacifier. I definitely need to put a stop to it.
He is really growing. He is able to sit in his bumbo seat.
Destiny, Bryant's teacher, said they have been putting him in the exer-saucers at school and he seems to enjoy it. So, we put our exer-saucer (Thank you Aunt Resa!) together and his tippy toes barely touch the bottom.
Destiny also said he has begun to notice his reflection in the mirror and really gets a kick out of himself. I don't have a picture of that, but I hope to get one soon.
We should be going to the Dr. for his 4 month check up and shots soon. I am anxious to see how tall he is and how much he weighs.
