Our Fall Break in Clemson!!

This past weekend we had our Fall Break from school.  Brett and I planned a while back to go to the Clemson game and bring Bryson along to experience it for the first time.  Growing up in the Keel household Clemson football is an extremely big deal.  In fact if you ever lived on our street you probably knew when the Tigers ran down the hill, won a game, or were doing poorly because my parents are not the kind that watch a game quietly.  You would hear Gooo baby, Gooo baby, or what kind of play is that, run, run, run, and of course the house would erupt when they scored a touchdown.  Being exposed to this my entire life and once Brett decided he wanted to be a member of the family he went to his 1st game and was converted immediately, we wanted Bryson to go ASAP.  Once we arrived to the town of Clemson we immediately went downtown to all of the clemson shops on a mission to find an outfit for Bryson.  My best friend, Jodie, had already gotten him some booties with the tiger paw on them.  All I needed was the rest of the outfit.  We really wanted him to wear orange Clemson overalls with the Tiger paw on the front along with a purple shirt underneath, the outfit I wore when I was a little girl, but they were all way too long.  Bryson is a short, pudgy boy!!!  We finally decided on an orange Polo with khaki shorts, his hat, and booties.  The weather was wonderful and we had a good time.  It would have been better if we would have actually looked like a real football team and played like one too.  Needless to say we LOST :(  

Bryson is also starting to really talk and has become sooo much fun.  He will mimic almost any sound you make, or at least try.  He also loves his Exersaucer.  Yesterday I got out his doorway jumper and he absolutely LOVED it.  It was so fun just watching him.  Each day gets more and more fun and each night gets a little bit better.  He is now sleeping from 8:30pm to 5:15 am.  Waa Hooo!!! 

We have finally figured out that he is what we call an MSPI baby which means that he is Milk Soy Protein Intolerant.  This makes it very, very hard for me since I am nursing and can't eat hardly anything.  I never knew how much soy is in my diet.  It is in almost everything we buy.  I am not eating any processed food, nothing that has traces of dairy, or anything that may contain milk or soy.  At least since I have started this diet Bryson's tummy is much better and so are his BM's.  I will suffer as long as I need to for Bryson's sake.  My diet has become extremely healthy.  This means not much fun to eat, but I do get to sleep now and Bryson seems much happier.

By my next post Bryson will have a new cousin.  Brett's brother, John, and his wife, Jessica, are expecting their 1st child Kaylee Faith.  She should be here any day now since she is being induced.  We are soo excited and can't wait to hold our new niece and welcome her to our family!!  Welcome Baby Kaylee, we love you already!!!!!
