BRIGGS 4 MONTHS

I can't believe that Briggs is 4 months old already. I know that time flies, but really...4 months. I've tried so hard to pay attention to every little detail... He's so old already. He thinks he is such a big boy...It seems like those cuddly moments are few and far between.

He
*loves to stand
*has found his hands
*loves to chew on his hands
*would love to suck his 2nd and 3rd finger
*loves the paci if mommy is mean and won't let him suck his fingers
*laughs out loud
*still loves to eat
*loves Braelyn ( not sure why - i guess he must love to be licked - oh poor boy)
*loves his other sisters
*really loves his mommy
*has had his tongue clipped.
*looks so cute snuggled with daddy watching football

THe first photo is of Daddy and Briggs at the hospital. He had his tongue clipped Tues morning. We were only away from him for about 18 min. I'm wondering how many thousand that will actually cost??? He woke up at 5 and was super mad that he couldn't eat. He finally went back to sleep and was happy at the hospital from 7-8. I guess he had figured out that breakfast wasn't in the plans for the am.

Poor Briggs, he has no idea he's about to go under the knife!!!!

Enjoying the early Christmas present from Mine!!!

Photos from last week!

Briggs enjoying his exersaucer. He thinks he needs to stand up all the time. I guess he thinks sitting down and relaxing is for babies!

I'm not sure who is enjoying it more - Braelyn or Briggs???

What a happy boy.

Day Trip

I'm ready to get rid of the little style we have left and go for the 10-15 passenger vehicle. 5 kids, 2 adults and a dog makes for quite a load. we hit both of ryan's parents, gg, a baby shower, and then headed back home. The girls enjoyed getting to see everyone.

Baby Shower

We were so happy to be able to attend the baby shower of one of Ryan's high school buddies. We are so happy that they are going to welcome another little one into their family. We were able to see some friends that we haven't seen in awhile. Briggs was glad to see Leann and mommy was too! If you have any good J names for a girl, please post!!!

Tayloran, Emily, Leann, and Briggs. Leann has the perfect touch - Briggs is crashed!

Julie and Johnna opening up the goodies. She received so many cute things!

Living Room Camp Out

Do you think RYan looks out numbered? He didn't last long on the bed. THey couldn't leave him alone, so he got irritated and left.

Here's Briggs - safe upstairs with Mommy - enjoying the peace and quiet. It won't be long before he'll be wanting to attend campouts.

Briggs - all clean and cozy!

Madagascar 2

A few weeks ago, we went with 5 other couples to see Madagascar 2. We all had such a great time. We went to a pizza place first, and then headed over for the show. It was a great movie. I'm usually not one to want to watch a movie twice, but I can't wait for this one to come out on DVD!

Amy, Christy, and Heath eating their goodies waiting for the show to start!

What a great face, Ry. Braelyn and Ryan were eating popcorn as fast as they could. Braelyn didn't want to share very bad.

Addisyn and Whitley. THese two must have changed seats 15 times before they settled down in the with the other 13 kiddies!

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat - 2008. SOme of us went with the Peter Pan theme - and others had their own idea. Tayloran - Geisha, Avery - Snow Queen, Addisyn - Benton Cheerleader, Braelyn - Tinkerbell, Briggs - the crocodile that's after Captain Hook, Ryan - Captain Hook, and me - Peter Pan. Ryan refused to wear tights, and informed mom and I that his son would not wear tights either. THe weather was great. The girls were ready to stop gathering candy early in the night. Ryan and I are go getter trick or treaters! We were carrying Addisyn adn Braelyn's bags by the end = I do have to agree with them - they were heavy. Briggs cried getting stuffed into his costume, but as soon as it was zipped he was fine. We went across the yard to Casey's and on the way back he fell asleep. He didn't wake up until we were done. Enjoy the pictures!
