First warm day of they year

Our first warm and sunny day came in mid-March so I took the boys outside to play. Bryson became a real pro on his trike and Jason just enjoyed the fresh air.

Canobie Lake Park

My company outing was at Canobie Lake Park this year. Bryson had lots of fun going on many of the rides. Jason was a very good sport about being in the stroller all day and was happy to just watch all the people. By the end of the day, Bryson was wiped out - but still wanted to keep going on rides.

Bryson turns 2

Bryson turned two on March 17th but we celebrated with our families on the 15th. His favorite part of the day may have been the balloons (1). He was so into the balloons that all of his gifts were opened by other people ( 1, 2, 3). He did enjoy his cake , which was decorated to look like Super Why, from his favorite PBS show.

Jason is one month old

During Bryson's first year, I took a picture of him on his monthly birthdays to see how much he changed from month to month. I'm going to do my very best to do the same with Jason. The pictures below are of Jason at one month old.

Bryson is becoming more and more of a big boy. He recently transitioned to his big boy bed for naps. This picture was taken the same day that gramma came to visit.

Jason Hagen Pittenger is born

Jason decided to join the family eight days early on January 21st. I started having contractions at 2:30 in the morning. I checked into the hospital around noon the following afternoon. Here I am, a couple hours before heading to the hospital. Jason was then born at 6:54 PM. He was 8 lbs and 6 oz and 20 inches long. Both the labor and delivery went well - 5 pushes and he was out.

Fall Pictures 2008

Here are some random pictures I've taken since the begining of Fall. One of Bryson's new favorite places to hang out is the drivers seat of the car. Once again, we headed over to the Groton Cemetary for some nice pictures with the foliage as well as a sneak preview of Bryson's Halloween costume.

Summer Pictures

My company outing was held at Canobie Lake Park in July. Unfortunately, Bryson decided to wake up at 3:00 AM that day and was too tired to do anything by the time lunch was over. The last picture is from another day - he was hamming it up at dinner time.

Baby on the way!

Bryson is going to be a big brother! Here is my 12 week ultrasound .

First Steps

A week or so after Bryson turned 15 months, he decided it was time to go for a walk. One evening he just took off and walked across the living room and into the kitchen all by himself. He was so proud. Going outside and walking on the lawn is one of his favorite things to do now.

This summer we've also starting taking Bryson on bike rides. As you can see he doesn't seem thrilled to wear his bike helmet

Bryson loves going outside. He particularly likes stopping at the fountain and playing in the water. This time, he managed to eat a little dirt as well (pic 4).

Discovery Museum

In April, I took Bryson to the Discovery Museum. He got to do lots of climbing and discovering new things. I think his favorite part was playing in the sandbox outside.

First Birthday

We celebrated Bryson's first birthday on Saturday, March 15th. Our families joined us for and Irish themed day. We had Shephard Pie and Guiness Stew for dinner followed by cake and ice cream for dessert. Bryson loved his first taste of cake. He received lots of fun new toys but the next day he much more interested in playing in the kitchen cabinets.
