A Swinging Time....

Anyone have any good ideas to wing a baby off the Swing? Our little Bryson loves to swing. He will sit and stare around the room, quiet and content in his swing. He loves to fall asleep in his swing, or just play almost as if he were an airplane, and put his arms out and hang over the side as if he were flying. So here's the trouble....

Anyone who has spent time with Bryson knows that he is...husky....Sturdy....chunky and yes it is rather cute. But the problem is, the swing cries and creaks because of the weight of our little man. I don't think the swing can take much more. I've looked high and low and no one makes a "husky boy swing"...I could be rich if I invented the husky boy swing......for the larger infant. Anyways....any Ideas? I haven't the heart to get rid of it yet...he loves it so much and truth be told...mom and dad love it sometimes too.....but I don't want it to collapse under the weight.... What's a mom to do?

Bryson's Got Mail.....for the first time!

On Tuesday, October 20th 2009 Bryson turned 9 months old and he got his first letter in the mail. He received a cute little kitty cat card from Grandma Kraus that read " Happy Halloween to the sweetest punkin of all!" and the little black cat was sitting by a pumpkin. The card was really cute and it was textured with yellow glittery stars and he loves it. We let him hold the card and play with it. He loved running his fingers over the glitter and it almost looked like he was trying to pet the kitty. It was such a fun little Halloween treat and Bryson loved it.
Thanks Nana....we love you! Happy Halloween

We're so COOL!!

We are just So Cool...here is what is going on with the Burrahm Family.

Bryson is working on his teeth and is a little congested, but still in good spirits. He is rolling around and babbling like no other. Scott is working hard and taking good care of Mommy and Bryson, because we are both sick! After getting the flu shot I got sick and then Bryson was sick too. We are trying to get our house cleaned up and de~cluttering all we don't use anymore. I am still looking for a job, I have applied at several different sites on line, but if you have any good tips, Pass them on! I sure could use them. We hope everyone liked the Halloween cards, and hope everyone has a safe and FUN Halloween. Because Bryson is so small we are only going Trick or Treating to maybe like the malls and the family and Friend homes we can make it to. So we hope to see you.

Bryson's Tooth

Here it is Bryson's Tooth can you see it.....more importantly can you see the one coming in next to it...that's right he now has 2 teethes......he is bitting on his spoon and making it more and more difficult to feed him. I find this age to be the most challenging and FUN yet. I can't change him because he rolls around all over the floor and tries to roll away...then I can't feed him because he bites the spoon and won't let go....then he loves to hear himself scream and ramble...aaahhhh the joys of being a parent....sleepless nights....crazy days and last but not least a little lovebug to snuggle with at the end of the day!!! Now I know why so many people think sleeping babies are so cute.....because that is the only time YOU have control.....I love being a MOM.....

Oh my!!! My baby is getting so BIG!!

Tonight Scott and I were feeding our little boy, when we realized he is not so little anymore. Sure he is a pretty sturdy boy, But tonight as Scott was helping feed Bryson some green beans, Bryson reached for Daddy's water. Normally we have baby cups that are plastic that Bryson drinks out of. Well as daddy was given Bryson water from daddy's water glass we hear this tink....tink.....tink.....so Scott thought his ring was hitting against the glass and moved it to another position. Without fail we hear the tink...tink...tink....NO NO the glass is not haunted our little Bryson has his first tooth :) It is on the bottom row and will tink as he tries to sip from daddy's glass cup. I guess we didn't notice because he is still so mellow and hasn't been fussy and normally drinks from plastic baby cups....he is growing up to fast.... :( Our little baby is now our little boy! I am so sad and happy at the same time.
