A year has come and gone since my little guy, Brigham, was born! This was the fastest year of my life...thus ZERO blog posts have been done! But I did all I could this last year and so I don't have any regrets! Three kids is just as hard as everyone says and I've had to let go of a lot of things like clean baseboards, a cleaning schedule, and a certain time for everything!
Here is just a little bit about our CRAZY, non-stop, Briggidy-Iggidy! We love him to pieces and I think every parent should have the chance to brag about their babies...so here is mine...and there is a lot of it!!
*He is our biggest one-year-old yet! He is average in weight and height, which is AMAZING for our kids!
*Brigham eats more than Ava and Spencer combined! He is eating us out of house and home!
*He is our HARDEST baby. He is so curious and into EVERYTHING. He is the splashing-in-toilets, falling-down-stairs, unrolling-toilet-paper, breaking-electronics, kind of baby. He gives us a run for our money. I am not joking when I say that he WILL NOT sit still or hold still when he is being held. He must be ruining something or hurting someone to be happy. He is hard to say the least and it is a good thing we love him.
*He has a pucker face where he puckers his lips and scrunches his face. He does it when he falls and pretends to cry!
*He crawled at 9 months and started climbing up and down the stairs at the same time!
*He isn't walking yet and isn't showing much interest. He stands up in the middle of the room but will just stay there! Hopefully he doesn't take as long as his brother who walked at 16.5 months!
*He is a very social baby and likes everyone around him. He doesn't get nervous with other people and has stayed away from us for a couple of nights without any trouble!
*He is amazingly smart! He talks so well and knows so many signs.
*He says the simple things like mom, dad, bye, no, dog, ball and hi. And then he also says these...and mostly perfectly...it's awesome how good he is at talking:
"Happa" (Happy),
"Die Dine" (Signing Time)
"Eyes"
"On"
"Opf" (off)
"Hot"
"Up"
"Don't"
"Ca" (Cat)
"Bur" (Bird)
"Igh" (light)
"Do" (milk...don't know why he says that?)
"eat"
"Afs" (Ava)
"Ba" (Bath)
"Car"
And I'm sure more will come to me but there's just SO many ;) Haha! And here is another list...these are
signs he knows and is so good at:
signs he knows and is so good at:
Eat, milk, bird (he does it so perfectly), mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, airplane, car, flag, fan, hot, baby, dog, cat, fish, sleep, play, book, signing time, sign for Ava, please, thank-you, happy, light, on/off, no, yes, and more.
Although Brigham is a hard little baby he makes up for it with his silliness and his sweet little face! He is our blue-eyed baby boy!
The decorations were really fun too...I especially liked the tissue paper clouds and his vintage airplane banner! It all turned out great except for the star of the show. Spence was okay at times and miserable at others :( Oh well, not everything can be perfect. Spencer wasn't into opening presents much and when it came to eating his cake he was not interested AT ALL! We did the cake eating part again the next week so he could enjoy some yummy chocolate! I LOVE parties and I tend to over-do it most of the time but it was memorable for ME...I know, selfish right? Here are some pictures so that Spencer can look back one day and MAYBE appreciate it.
Lots of people love Spencer!!
