My mom said last week that Bryson seems to be much more comfortable in the world now. I must agree. Although he still gets lots of little gas pains and bubbles, he seems much more content now, like he’s finally get a grasp on this whole body thing. It must be so hard to come into the world, to learn how to breathe and eat, to get used to clothes and diapers, light, people’s touch, and all the noises. Bryson had such peely skin and so much gas. Then there was the reflux, the painful acid coming up and burning, as well as the projectile spit up that would shoot out his little nose. It really must be such a hard transition to leave our Heavenly Father’s presence and come here to earth. We are so glad our Bryson choose to come.

Bryson is much more aware of what is going on. He’ll watch us and is more alert to his surroundings. He has started to smile in response to us occasionally, which is really fun and quite adorable. His head is getting stronger and stronger. And, thankfully, he is even sleeping longer! Hallelujah! He’s been going 4 to 5 hours now as opposed to the 1 or 2 hour stretch we were getting. It usually takes a bit to get him to go down. A few nights ago it took from 9 to 10:30pm to get him to really fall asleep but then he slept until 5:30am! Unfortunately he was then awake for 2 hours before he wanted to fall asleep again. But that’s 7 hours! Can you believe it?! He hasn't done that since but it gives us hope.

A few evenings ago I so excited to hear him “talk.” He’s made a few sounds before (that aren’t crying, fussing, or whining) but yesterday he was making happy sounds consistently and directed to me! How fun! I just love so much each little stage and milestone. I love seeing my children learn and grow. But I hope they don’t grow up too fast! Bryson is already almost 2 months!
