A Love of Books
I just wanted to share a quick video of Kyle "reading". He does this several times throughout the day with different books. Although this book is a favorite right now because at the end there is a mirror. I hope this bodes well for his future with books!
(the video starts out a little dark, but lightens)

A Tooth!!
Kyle also discovered that he LOVES the Jumperoo. Yeah! I thought maybe he wasn't going to take to it, but I think he just wasn't steady enough before to manage the jumps. He is now though... watch him go!

5 Months Old!!



Kyle enjoyed the pool so much, I thought I would again attempt the tub with meand met with MUCH more success! Not a whimper! Of course, the rubby ducky might have helped. Kyle's buddy, Ms. Vi added to his tub toys with a plastic book, which he adores. Sorry, no photos because I would have to be in the too.
Whew! I am tired thinking about everything he has been into. We are happy to be resting at home. Hope you enjoy seeing Wally as much as Kyle did :)

15 Weeks & A Car Trip

Happy Mother's Day!
There was a lot of wind today, so excuse the background noise. This was made with our new video camera - The Flip, which is awesome, by the way!

Grown out of his diapers!
I had to officially retire the infant sized cloth diapers :(. I can't believe he is big enough for the next size. They are actually a little big - folding is tricky, but they definitely fit better than the little ones. We are attempting some fancier cloth diapers as well - Swaddlebees pockets and AIOs. They are so much trimmer fitting than the prefolds, plus, they basically go on just like the disposables only with snaps rather than velcro/tape. No folding, no snappis or pins, covers, etc. His skin also seems to stay drier, which can't be bad. You can also add inserts to increase absorbency. So far, we have done well with them overnight. I would love to have a replacement for the disposables at night! I sound like a commercial :o). We are also testing g diapers for trips, which are pseudo disposables. They have a cloth cover and a disposable insert, that is also flushable and biodegradable. I would love for these to work out for us - we shall see.
Kyle has been testing out the Exersaucer these days. He hasn't quite mastered it since it requires complete head control. But he does seem to enjoy it for short periods of time. He especially likes the snail/butterfly toy you see pictured. Another new pasttime of Kyle's is blowing bubbles and putting everything he can into his mouth! He has a stuffed toy carrot that he loves because it is the perfect size for chewing. The bubbles drives Jeff crazy because of course it turns into drool. We have to have a burp rag on hand at all times! I am trying desperately to catch him rolling over on camera. As soon as I do, I will post it here. It is hysterical to watch!

12 Weeks - AMAZING!
The big news though is that he is officially sleeping completely through the night with an 8pm bedtime! He makes a few peeps, and of course, I am still getting up to check on him. But a 1 minute check is MUCH better than a 30 minute feeding! I don't need to be near as awake. Kyle is also sleeping strictly in his crib. I had been napping him there, so the transition was fairly easy. Here is a video of him hanging out with his buddy, Wally. For the non-Red Sox fans, Wally is the green monster mascot for the team. Unless he is starving, Kyle is always quite content to lay and watch Wally. Please excuse the lousy camera work. For some reason, I just thought I could turn the camera and edit it like a picture. Maybe you can, but I haven't figured out how :(. I love how he twirls his feet in a circle while he watches him. It is also rare footage of Kyle, the hot body, in a sleeper. For some reason, the house was very cold for a few nights.
Jeff and I also branched out and had a sitter last weekend!! We had a crawfish boil to go to which was quite fun. We have missed having boils. It might be time for a low country boil soon here in the Bergman house. Kyle did great for our friend and was in bed when we got home. I am so thankful that we have good friends that are willing to sit with him. It makes it so much easier to know that we can get out of the house together once in awhile.
I will try to update more frequently. He is changing so much everyday!

Quite the Communicator - 11 weeks

10 Weeks and Counting!


Kyle got to meet so many people on his trip... Great Grandma Miller, Aunt Denise and Uncle John, all of Mommy and Daddy's old neighbors, MaMa's friends, and of course that puppy, Rider! Rider is Aunt Denise and Uncle John's new golden retriever. He really liked Kyle's socks - so much that he nipped them right off his toes! To top off the trip, he had his first professional photo shoot with his cousins, Kelaen and Olivia.
Now for his next trick, Kyle is determined to have that thumb. If only those darn fingers would let go of it, he could get it into his mouth! In the meantime, we will have to live with the fairy that appears nightly to pop the pacifier back in his mouth when he wakes up and realizes it is gone. Hopefully, we will be reporting success on that next time!!

Pictures from Kyle's First Week


Kyle is intently watching Daddy. He loves to hear his voice, and responds automatically when Jeff speaks to him. Like their matching baseball gear?

Our neighbor's granddaughter gave Kyle this Boppy playgym. Gracie has already outgrown it at 7 months and thought baby Kyle would like it. She was right! He is mesmerized by the colorful print and hanging toys.

And finally, my favorite picture. Kyle has been desperately trying to catch that ever elusive thumb. He has found that during tummy time it is best accessible. When he gets it, Kyle sucks for dear life.
Welcome Kyle Jeffrey Bergman

Super Bowl Sunday!

The Waiting Game
The good news about going is that we got a sense of what our hospital is like. It is just a small place with only 4 floors. But the staff is great and very attentive. I also got to see the head of my OB practice, whom I normally don't see. He handles the more complex OB cases and not the run-of-the-mill pregnancies usually. He was very reassuring throughout the short visit.
When it is actually time to go, we will have wireless internet access at the hospital. Jeff will update everyone as quickly as he can. We are just biding our time now. And Jeff is hoping he won't be watching the Patriots' Super Bowl on the little 9" screen in the delivery room. Althought that might be a good distraction :).

How is it possible?

Jeff and I went out for dinner tonight. Since I looked a little nicer than I do while working from the house, I thought we should do a belly shot. We are exactly 3 weeks from the due date tomorrow. Although, neither of us would be sad for Kyle to make his arrival sooner!
The house is pretty much in order. We have carpet cleaners coming in Monday - big fun! Won't the cats love that? And I have my 37 week appointment. Wednesday is our Baby Essentials class, and I have decided we are going to test out the Scalini's theory. They have a wall of photos of mommies and their babies. The common thread, all the mom's had the eggplant parmesan there within days of giving birth. Here's to hoping!!

Belated Christmas Pics

Sorry - things have been hectic! We had a wonderful holiday season though!
Jeff and I drove up to Nashville to be with Steph and Joe on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Jeff and I couldn't wait to take our presents up there to open them, so he was able to take his new Wii system with him. Thank goodness or the boys would never find anything to do :)! (I enjoyed my new earrings at the same time though).
It was funny leaving their house on Wednesday saying "See you in a couple of days!" They joined us for the weekend, along with Mom and Dad. Again, what would we have done without the Wii. Stephanie's and my favorite story is looking out on the porch, seeing all three boys with a cigar and playing the new fishing game. It seriously looked like they should have been on the shoreline somewhere fishing! I can't believe we didn't take any pictures!
Here are a few pics of the house in all its Christmas glory. The one of me and the tree is from the night of Jeff's work Christmas party. If I ever wrangle the one of the both of us from that night, I will edit the post.


Busy Busy!

The nursery is nearly complete. We are just waiting on a couple items to show - the ever critical wall clock and lamp :). I don't think Kyle will mind if they are late though. Jeff and I were supposed to be in a Baby Essentials class tonight, but unfortunately it was cancelled. We are hoping that he won't arrive before we can attend the rescheduled class next week!
