Bryson bugging out over the camera... Too funny! 

Baby giggles! Don't mind the weird noises that I am making in the background... for some reason he thought it was funny :)

Um yeah... that seems like a comfy way to sleep... lol What the heck kid?

Teeny tiny fingers :)

Napping in his crib! We have been working on getting him to sleep there. He will nap there sometimes... It is a work in progress lol

Practicing sitting up. Bryson keeps shifting his weight forward, like he is trying to sit up. You can see in these pictures how he is trying to lean forward lol

This is where Bryson spent most of his week... he didn't want to sleep anywhere except for on Mama! So sweet :)

There is a lot of sleeping baby pictures... I had nothing else to do except take pictures... I was kind of trapped! lol

 He has been grabbing things a lot more this week. Here he is holding a towel. He has also been keeping a firm grip on a rattle, although he hasn't quite realized that he is the one making the noise he is hearing.

Bryson is obsessed with sucking on his hand this week. He hasn't found his thumb yet, but he slobbers and sucks (very loudly lol) on his fist and fingers. 

I realized that I have never taken a picture of Bryson's bassinet. This is what he sleeps in, next to our bed. We will eventually move him into his crib. 

Little football Hehe

A week ago, Bryson had his tongue tie and lip tie revised. The procedure went good. They numbed his upper lip and cut that tie, then as he was crying, they snipped the tongue. The pain is similar to getting your ears pierced. It was quick and the recovery is minimal. Thank goodness they let me wait in the waiting room because my nerves couldn't take it! lol. When we came back to the room poor Bryson was covered in sweat and had tears streaming down his face! He got himself so worked up!! I gave him plenty of snuggles and he was asleep as soon as he got buckled into the car. He was extremely fussy and tired the rest of the day. By the next morning I had my happy boy back, as if nothing had even happened! Now he can lick an ice cream cone once he gets bigger! I am glad that is over with!

This week Kevin's dad and step mom came to visit. (Bryson's Papa and Memaw.) Bryson was loved on, snuggled, kissed, and played with every second he was awake! lol. We also celebrated my first Mother's day! When I got home from work Saturday night (technically Sunday morning, it was around 1am), Kevin surprised me with a mothers day balloon, flowers, chocolates, and a really sweet card. When we woke up for the day he made everyone a big breakfast. Sherry (Memaw) and I went and got a manicure and pedicure, Kevin bought me a necklace with Bryson's name on it, and that evening we all went out for a big seafood dinner. It was a wonderful day!! It was really hard for me to be away from my Mom. I wanted her to be with Bryson! It was nice to have such a fun filled day to keep me from feeling too sad! I am so blessed to be a Mama! I was really happy to celebrate it!

Bryson is more and more active every day. He smiles ALL the time and has even giggled a few times. He discovered his feet for the first time and spends a good amount of time staring at them lol. He loves to look at toys and swings his arms to bang his hands against them. He especially loves his sock monkey that Memaw named "Chunky". He holds in against his body and tries to put it into his mouth! lol He is constantly trying to shift his weight forward in an attempt to sit up. He gets bored looking at the same thing after a while, or sitting in the same position and will fuss briefly to let you know that he is ready to be moved. He is such a happy baby!

My first Mother's Day! Family photo :)

Kevin made a breakfast spread

My necklace from Kevin

Funny faces with Daddy

Woah... who is that baby?!?

3 generations of Wolz boys

He likes watching TV... or in this case a youtube video.

Bryson is 2 months old! He weighs 13lbs 10oz, 85th percentile! His length is 22 1/2 inches which is only 32 percentile... so I am guessing he is going to have a growth spurt at some point to even out the extra few pounds lol.  

We tried to use the monthly stickers...

...But he decided to eat it instead! LOL

You know how I am obsessed with comparrison photos, so here is 1 month vs. 2 months

His doctor said that he has an umbilical hernia. His belly button protrudes because he has an opening in his abdominal wall muscles (where the umbilical cord was at) and the intestines/fat/fluid can protrude through the opening. For some reason, it does not close all the way in some babies. It is fairly common, occurring in about 1 out of 10 infants. It usually closes by age 1, but the doctor said that if it has not closed by the time he starts school, they will have to go in and put a stitch in to close it.

This is what it is like changing Bryson's diaper... It is a struggle with this little wiggle worm! LOL

I am going to call this video "spit up surprise" LOL I was attempting to video tape how he discovered the mobile on his swing... and then surprise! This is what it is like with a baby!
