This is a few weeks late...
Brig is turning into such a little boy! I admit I have had a hard time adjusting to the fact that he is getting older. He is no longer a baby. Just in the last couple of weeks he has displayed so much more energy and mobility. He does not like to sit still. He sits up all by himself and rolls around all over the place. It is quite a chore to get him dressed or change is diaper. He is not crawling yet, but if you place him on all fours he will try and kick his legs as if he was in his jumperoo. It makes him look like a frog trying to hop. It's really cute. We think he weighs about 18 pounds and he wears a lot of 9 month size clothing. He absolutely loves solid food. In fact, it is difficult to get him to eat a bottle. On a good day he will eat 20 ounces. He really likes "table food"- basically anything I eat, he wants. Some favorites are spaghetti, mashed potatoes and gravy, rice, bbq pulled pork, asparagus, and cheesy green beans. We had a long week and half with him being sick. For the first few days he had just a little cough. Jared would get his stethoscope out and listen to his lungs every night after work. I am so glad he is a nurse! Then one morning he woke up and he was wheezing and his cough sounded horrible and Jared wasn't home so I knew he needed to be seen. The diagnosis was RSV and he had to have albuterol four times a day through a nebulizer. I think it really helped because he was better in five days. Brigham was such a trooper while he was sick. He hardly cried; he was just extra sleepy and he didn't have much of an appetite. I am so glad it wasn't worse.
We've been enjoying nicer weather lately. A lot of 50 degree weather with no snow. Hooray! We took Brig to the hot springs and to a park for the first time. He loved the pool. He kicked his legs and was fascinated by the water fountain.
