We're Back!!!

This is now Brittany signing on. I've decided to take over the blogging duties in an attempt to keep our family and friends updated on our family's fascinating life.

So what's new in the Bryant household. Jett just turned 7 months old, which is crazy. It doesn't seem like he should be that old, but at the same time it seems like he has always been here. The child is into everything. His new name is "Crash." We're averaging 5 head injuries a day, which equals 5 mini heart attacks for me.

He does this awesome army crawl, which he's gotten pretty fast at. The newest thing that happened yesterday is pulling up on things, equaling more head injuries and more mini heart attacks. My compassionate husband informed me that he will get injured the rest of his life and I've got to learn how to cope with these small injuries now. That was the most comforting words I've ever heard. Man, he's sensitive.

In a couple of weeks we're going to the State v. Gardner-Webb game. The whole Bryant/Kelley clan. We're curious to see how Jett does. It will be a long day for an infant. We definitely know there's going to be one happy granddaddy there showing off his grandsons.

So, that's pretty much the latest. I promise to try and update at least once a week. Here are some pictures of one cute baby boy.



Waking up from a nap.



It's tiring being so stinking cute.



I love this face!

While moms away the boys will play.

A few weeks ago Britt took a trip to Wilmington with one of her brides, (My wife is a wedding coordinator), in order to help them prepare for a wedding. While she was gone it was a total boys weekend. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Picture and more pictures

So it has become quiet apparent that Jett is going to either love or hate having his picture taken. Recently I began to investigate starting my own photography business with the hopes of paying for Jett's college education or at least make enough money to support my expensive hobby of photography. I have even gone as far as making my own website: www.mattbryantphotography.com.

I have taken pictures of weddings, senior portraits, baby/children portraits, and events for fun for a number of years and have finally gained enough confidence in my abilities to charge for it. Here are some pictures from the latest family day session, which lasted about 5 minutes before Jett decided he didn't want his picture taken any more. We got one good picture and one eh okay picture and here they are:

Family Day.

So our newest attempt at household sanity has result in Thursday becoming our family day. This past family day we decided to take some pictures just for fun here are the results...

We have scheduled another picture day for next Thursday.

The Brainwashing begins early.

So we can all agree that children for the most part seem to follow in there parents footsteps as far as the way they view the world. Like my father before me it seems that I as well have begun the process of leading my son into a belief system that will ultimately lead to heart ache and crushed hopes. There will now be many weekends and week nights that my son will sit with me in the living room shaking our heads in discouragement. This system of thinking that I am willing my soon into will cause him to face much criticism every day at school and will face ridicule from his classmates. Yes that's right ladies and gentleman in a State that claims to bleed blue (shade doesn't really matter) my son*, my father, and myself will continue to be NC State fans. And though I don't talk trash often...because State never gives the chance to...I bleed NC State red and I can prove it!

*I am well aware of the scheming of many of my friends who stand a good chance of leading my son astray to the blue side of the world, but I will still love him and completely understand.

Yoda.

Before Jett was born we would treat our dog (named Yoda), as though he where our child. We would take cute pictures and send them to each other during the day with our cell phones. We would sit around with friends and talk about funny things our cute dog did. Now that Jett is here it is obvious that Yoda has moved down the social ladder. However he still gets plenty of attention.

Wardrobe Malfunction

My wife and I have devised a plan for maximizing the amount of sleep each of us receives on any given night. We have divided the nigh into 2 shifts. 11:00-3:00 is Matt's shift and 3:00-7:00 is Brittany's shift. During each shift whoever is on duty, or is it doodie, is responsible for anything that Jett needs. The perfect shift includes a feeding in the middle of the shift which means you get an extra 2 hours of sleep before your shift actually ends. However, last night was anything but the perfect shift...

10:34 p.m. - Brittany, Matt, and Jett are on their way home and Jett is screaming at the top of his lunges because he is hungry.

10:47 p.m. - We arrive home and proceed to make warm a bottle of milk, which takes 5 minutes, Jett is still screaming.

10:55 p.m. Jett is eating, and Brittany head off to bed as Matt begins his shift.

11:12 p.m. - Jett vomits all over himself and Matt.(Outfit change #1 for Jett, Shirt change #1 for Matt).

11:19 p.m. - Matt gives Jett gripe water.

11:23 p.m. - Resume feeding in an attempt to replace the recently discharged breast milk.

11:42 p.m - Jett vomits again (Outfit change #2 for Jett, Shirt #2 for Matt).

12:02 p.m. - Matt concludes that the vomiting is due to faulty equipment so he fixes a new bottle with new milk.

12:15 p.m - Jett vomits again (Outfit change #3 for Jett, no shirt change for Matt)

12:32 p.m. - Jett still screaming, Matt now assumes that he is not hungry but that his stomach is not feeling well so Matt and Jett lay down on the couch.

12:52 p.m. - Jett vomits. (Outfit change #4 for Jett, Shirt change #3 for Matt).

1:03 p.m - Matt halucinating from Stress and exaustion see's pink elephants dancing in the living room.

1:14 p.m. - After changing Jett Matt realizes wearing a shirt is pointless because it will ust get vomit on it, so Matt spends the rest of the evening topless...Jett still screaming.

1:17 p.m. - Matt and Jett back on the couch.

1:41 p.m. - Matt wake up on the couch very confused, Jett is on Matt's chest asleep. Matt realizes the opportunity to go to bed is at hand and proceeds to move in that direction.

1:47 p.m. - Moments after Jett and Matt are in bed Jett wakes up and expresses to Matt that he would like to go back in to the living room and scream for a few hours.

1:48 p.m. - Brittany Wakes up and holds Jett for a few minutes while Matt gathers his thoughts.

2:01 p.m. - Matt feeds Jett again...this time no vomiting and Jett seems to be very content.

2:14 p.m. - Jett falls aslepp on Matt in rocking chair.

2:15 p.m. - Jett pees on himself and Matt while asleep.

2:16 p.m. - Diaper change. (Outfit #I lost count for Jett).

2:31 p.m. - Jett finally goes to bed peacefully, Matt soon follows.
