April

Wow, it's April already and my baby is 7mths old already, where has the time gone!? The boys are really loving eachother and Bryson is very fond and protective of his 'baby nolan' and Nolan just ADORES Bryson, to see his face light up and he just squeals and kicks just dying to get ahold of big brother. Bryson doesn't like to share and always wants the baby's toy that he's playing with so we are working on that and of course Nolan wants anything he can get his hands on so he's easy to distract from big brothers' selfish mode, thankfully!!
This weekend they played in bryson's tent, and with a bunch of bouncy balls, basketballs, etc.. it was just adorable! Bryson was cracking us up saying stuff- part of the tunnel he calls is garage and he'd say..baby, get in garage, baby, get in here.. and eventually nolan rolled his way over and was looking for brother, so i pushed him in and they both seemed pretty happy. Bryson is also very into 'bears' right now.. on that subject we were playing downstairs and he says.." HIDE! Mommy! HIDE, a bear's coming and baby Nolan is scared!" and i got him a cheapo glove and baseball mit and of course Nolan wants to chew on it, bryson is not a fan of that, but he will get it out and want us to 'play catch' and then when im tired of it he'll say.. BABY, play catch.. here baby, catch! im like.. umm..NO bryson, please don't throw the ball at the baby, he's too little! One of these days Nolan is gonna have either a golf ball or seam imprint on his forehead from his wild older brother and his sports obession. Bryson is still loving his new golf clubs, his favorite is the 'cutter' he is getting better with prouncing it 'putter' which we are happy about. We are hoping the weather will begin to cooperate, he is dying to get outside to play. Every night he say.. play outside, it's nice outside mommy, we go outside. Which makes it so hard to say No, unless Jeff's there we can't always go, depending on wind and temperature cause little bro has allergies and I dont' want him sick! And it's really hard to play with them both and keep them both safe with the road so close. Hopefully our new Rainbow swingset will be here soon, we are sooo anxious for it, it's gonna be wonderful to have!
Nolan is 7 mths, saying DADA. Of course I've been trying so hard to implant 'MA MA' in his mind, it's not catching yet. lol. He acts like he wants to crawl but decides he can roll faster, so he's all over the room, or where ever he can get to something cool or to his big brother. He also has one tooth now that he'd been working on for months, so happy its finally thru, I'm sure we'll have more soon. We are starting to do more independent eating, he's not wild about baby food so im trying more puffs, biter biscuts, mashed potatoes, graham cracker bits, etc. He also is liking his sippy cup the few times he tried it, it does seem to take abit of work to get the milk out tho.
The Mossman house is always hopping and never a dull moment, we are loving watching these little boys grow up. It is really amazing to listen to Bryson try to master the English language and become such an independent and loving boy. He has his little moments of mean in him, like any wild 2 year old boy, but he really has a good heart and it just makes me melt when I see him with Nolan. Being a mom is AWESOME! Even if I'm exhausted thru most of it, I wouldn't change a thing! (Except maybe wish for a cook and someone to clean every day! :)
