Brigham's Blessing

We blessed Brigham on February 1. It was a beautiful blessing and I am grateful that my husband can do that for our family. Brigham wore the same outfit that Jason wore when he was blessed. It was a good day and Brigham didn't get sick, our pediatrician still doesn't want Brigham to go to church, but we snuck him in.

2 Months

Brigham is two months old, wow time flies by. He went to the doctor and had his shots today. It was so sad because his eyes just filled up with tears. He weighed nine pounds and was twenty inches long. The doctor was really impressed that he had gained so much weight. Brigham is now on the growth charts, although he is at the very bottom. He loves his cougars and wanted to share that with everyone.

Christmas morning

This is what we woke up to on Christmas morning. We barely got out of our neighborhood.
The snow drifts were really bad.

The night before we got home pretty late and Jason shoveled, it was a good thing he did that because it would have taken all morning to shovel our driveway.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we went to Jason's grandma's house. We ate ham, funeral potatoes, and really good rolls. After we ate we opened presents. Brigham couldn't join in the fun because he is still too young and hasn't had his shots yet. We stayed upstairs while the party happened downstairs.

Brigham got a monkey from his great grandma, he was pretty tired.

Chocolates

Our annual chocolate dipping party. Jason's cousins Carol and Christie dipped chocolates while Jason rolled the cherries in fondant. I just sat and watched and ate as many chocolates as I could.

6 1/2 weeks old

Brigham is now 6 1/2 weeks old, he weighs 7 pounds 5 ounces and is 20 inches long. He has gained three pounds since he came home. He has decided to wake up every two hours at night, he is always hungry. He also doesn't like to sleep in his bed because he wants someone to hold him 24/7. He has grown so much, I can't believe it.

Sleep

Last night Brigham slept continuously for four hours, so I only had to wake up once during the night. I fed him at 11 pm and then he slept until 3 am and didn't wake up until 7 am. I woke up feeling so refreshed, I didn't think that would happen for a long time. I hope he continuous to sleep for long periods of time, but I doubt that will happen.
