Being a full time working out of the home mom, I struggle to find mommy and me type classes I can do with B. It always seems like the classes are predominantly on weekday mornings - when I am required to be in the office (rather than with my boy:( ) I digress. I found this place called Amaya Papaya in Cassleberry. They offer Kindermusik playdates once a month...at NIGHT!!! The class was tonight from 6:30 - 7:15. Perfect - gave me time to come home, scarf down dinner, and off we went!
B LOVED it. We sang songs, we danced, we swayed, we played with instruments, and B just had a perpetual grin on his face. I cannot wait to bond like this again with him next month.
I highly recommend these classes/playdates for anyone with a young child. The flexibility of time is fantastic - and the children love it!

6 month visit
Poor B didn't have fun at the doctor today. On top of having his shots, he had an adhesion on his *peepee*. The doc had to fix that which the Bman did NOT enjoy. It is so hard to see your little baby in any sort of pain. I just hugged and held and kissed him after. On the positive front, he is a big boy at 20 pounds 5 oz and 28.5 inches long!!
Once we got home, B fell straight to sleep. He woke up 45 minutes later and was his same old self again - sans so many smiles. His *peepee* was obviously bothering him. Hopefully by tomorrow, the vaseline will have helped to sooth it and he will be even more on his way back to normal.
Oy - I think now begins the not fun to go to the dr time. He was FINE his first few visits - but he's a bit more aware now, and isn't liking it so much anymore!!!

Has it been 6 months already??
It's been soooo long since I have blogged. I never seem to find the time. And when I do have the time, I just want to veg. Well Bryson is now 6 months, 1 week, and 3 days old! He is the most amazing boy I have ever met in my life. He is soo happy. And I am not just saying that. Everyone who meets him comments on how much this boy smiles. He has a head full of blond hair, HUGE blue eyes, and dimples that melt my heart.
Within the past month, one of his favorite pasttimes has become rolling over. He rolls from back to belly and back again. When he gets on his back he lets out a loud shreik of excitement. And he gets so excited when I repond to his excitement. He is just a happy baby!
We've packed up the baby swing the infant carrier. Our big boy is weighing in over 20 pounds at 6 months old. He's in his big boy car seat (rear facing of course) and enjoys his big boy toys (the fisher price tool box is is absolute favorite). He is developing a personality and lets us know when he doen't like something. For example, take away his fisher price tool chest and he is no longer a happy camper! But within a few seconds he is on to something else and enjoying life again.
He LOVES LOVES LOVES Baby Einstein DVDs and Yo Gabba Gabba. Whenever he sees DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba, he gets a huge grin on his face. He will sit for hours if we let him and watch those two things (don't worry - we put in place a 1 hour TV rule per day for him!) A couple of days ago, he laughed for the first time AT the TV. He was watching Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals. There is one part where a dog puppet comes close to the camera - B found it hysterical. It was adorable.
Needless to say, I am so in love with my little man and fall more in love with him daily. I had to travel for work for the first time in late August - I missed him terribly. I have to travel again the beginning of October. Not looking forward to it!
