Brandaddy & Co.: Bryant is 1/2!

The kids were pretty excited that it was Bryant's 1/2 birthday today! Per our family tradition, even Bryant got to try a new cereal. He tried oatmeal for the first time today! He liked it better than rice cereal, for sure! He has gotten so much more active this month! He can roll all the way across the room, and is very determined when he wants something. However, he prefers to be sitting much more than laying down. He can't quite sit up on his own yet, so we still use the Bumbo a lot, or he sits in my lap. He is enjoying his jumparoo a little more, but still demands a lot of attention! He got his first tooth this month, and I'm expecting another to pop through any day now. His sleeping has been pretty good. I'm usually just up once with him during the night. For much of the month that was between 2-3AM but lately it's been moving closer to 4-5AM. So hopefully he will be moving towards sleeping through the night soon (wishful thinking, I'm sure!). He has also moved away from the cat naps, and prefers 2-3 longer naps in his crib. He does not sleep on the go nearly as well as he used to, so having to be home for him to sleep has been a tough transition for us since we are always on the go. We'll have to make something work this summer though. Bryant really enjoys his toys now and it's so fun to watch him play and try to figure out how things work and discover new textures. He's such a happy and fun baby! Our only real struggle is still the bottle. On Mother's Day, Bryant refused to eat for 15 hours because we were trying the bottle all day. I finally gave up at 10PM and nursed him before bed. This kid is stubborn!
