Thus far in his development, Bryce has been quite picky when it comes to his solid food. It is slow going finding something that he enjoys because we have been instructed by the doctor to feed him each flavor at least 3 days in a row before moving on so we can be certain he is not allergic to anything we try. Thus far, we have tried apple sauce, bananas, sweet potatoes & carrots. Only the carrots were met with undoubtable enthusiasm. The others were mostly negative, with some relative ambivalence expressed towards the sweet potatoes. We will post some of the reactions here. First, the apple sauce:
Clearly a negative reaction. This surprised us because who doesn't like applesauce? Well, I guess our son. At any rate, he struggled through the sauce for 3 days and then we moved on to bananas. There is no video of the banana experiment, but suffice it to say there was a good deal of grimacing and gagging going on during it. So we moved on. Sweet potatos were next:
The video makes it look like he hated it. That was before we heated it up. After that, he seemed okay with the stuff. Still, not great. The next try was carrots:
Much more of the type of reaction we were hoping for. So now if he never likes anything else, we can give him carrots every day for the rest of his young life. If we do that, by the time he is 8 he will be able to see into the future. Here is a video review by Bryce himself explaining his feelings on carrots and their relative benefits.
And here is Bryce's typed review that he will type in himself right now:

Hello
Hello every one! We are very excited. Blake has his Christmas choir concert coming up Thursday, December 6 at 8:30 am and 6:30 pm. Matt has been working a lot of hours this week and will be working a lot in the coming weeks. He says, and I quote, " Christmas is coming and 2+2=4." I think working so much has made him crazy. Oh wait he has always been crazy! We all miss him around here, but we love him for working so hard to take care of us. Bryce has another ear infection. He is on a different antibiotic and is starting to feel better. The boys are just growing so fast! We had to buy Blake some new pants and Bryce is already in 9 months! When I took him to the Dr. for his ear he was 16 lbs. 3.5 oz. We can hardly wait for the Christmas holidays to see all of our family. We love and miss you!
Edit by Matt: Fixed the comma madness. The quote up above, while technically accurate, does not come close to portraying my feelings on 2+2 and its impacts to society. Also, I find the picture in this post is infinitely more enjoyable if you imagine Bryce asking "I can has cookie?" while looking at it.

Blake's Field Day
Here's Blake at his Field Fun Day playing Tug-O-War and doing his potato sack race.
Blake's Field Day
Blake having a blast playing on the huge blow up things at his carnival. The kids just have so much fun doing this.
Halloween
Blake chose not to dress for Halloween or go trick or treating. We just dressed Bryce in this cute little out fit. We just took these pictures of Bryce in his room on the card table. Here are the boys with Mimi and Paw paw Turner.
