Fruit of the Womb: August 2012

Bristan has met so many new people in the past month! We have really enjoyed visiting with our family and friends. Bristan is such a good baby!! He is a happy, laid back little man. He is pretty much sleeping through the night (yippee!!!!). People were asking if he even cries when we were visiting Gainesville. Speaking of Gainesville...what a great time we had! Bristan met all of our best buds, went to dinners/lunches, attended a big party, and visited mine and Joe's old jobs. He was quite the social butterfly. When we got back from Gaineville we spent the weekend with my family in middle Georgia. Then, Cindy (Nana) came from California to Atlanta to spend a week with us. We had so much fun!! We went to Stone Mountain, the Coca Cola museum, a Sushi dinner, antique/consignment shops, and Joe and I got to go out on a date (thanks again Cindy!).

Now we are getting ready for our trip out to Nevada to visit with Art and Barb (Joe's grandparents). Lots of our family from southern California are going to come up to stay at Art and Barbs so it is going to be a full house!! We are incredibly excited for our west coast family to meet Bristan!

Unfortunately, Bristan and Joe have a cold right now :( I had it earlier in the week (feeling better now) and Cindy potentially even caught it from us. I guess we all picked up the virus while we were out of town. We are praying that both Bristan and Joe are better before we fly on Thursday. They are feeling a bit better each day so that is good.

It is so crazy that it has already been two months since I gave birth to our handsome little man....it has flown by!!! And he does something new each day. Just as I said about pregnancy, us humans are pretty amazing. The development from being in the womb to age one is incredible! Bristan's most recent accomplishment is smiling with his eyes open and cooing. Joe and I are loving every minute of this journey and are looking forward to all of the other mile stones in Bristan's life!

We went to Bristan's two month appointment with the pediatrician last Friday. He is now 14 pounds and 24 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile on overall size....big boy!!!!
