Little ONE

Look at our little ONE year old! 

He had his one year check up yesterday. The percentiles are in....

Height: 27.75 in.   1.18%tile
Weight: 18.41 lbs   9%tile
Head: 19in.  95.45%tile

I really hope when people say "percentiles mean nothing", that they are right. Cause I was a little concerned yesterday. All of my kids have had BIG heads but this...these proportions...they just don't seem right. But they are! I had the nurse measure his head twice. His weight and height really had me worried because most of my kids have been short but usually they are chubby too. All Well. Needless to say I am tempted to put him on the Pearl Elder diet so I can stop worrying if he is getting enough caloric intake. I seriously went and bought a bottle on my way home from his appointment. Get ready to chug some whole milk Baby Brig!

I kiss this head about one hundred and nine times a day. He is always so happy and content. When my other kids started crawling, they were off my lap and BUSY. Not Brigham, he takes his time and is happy to just sit and observe. He has the cutest, slowest crawl. He also loves being held and cuddled, I am going to keep soaking it all in, he may one day decide that he wants to be crazy busy like his siblings....but probably not.

Rachel, I can't thank you enough  for these pictures! I will love them forever.

Brigham's 1st Birthday

                                                         Baby Brigham turns ONE today!

Words can't even describe how much I love this boy. He puts a Smile on my face EVERY day....that I can ALWAYS count on!

Thank goodness Si Guy was in attendance for candle blowing duty

 For a little while he looked like a little clown with the frosting smeared in a perfect circle around his lips.

                                                       First Birthdays are Awesome Mom!

Simon buckled himself in Brigham's high chair. I guess he realized that good things come to those who sit in high chairs.

                                                               

I LOVE 1st Birthdays! Actually all Birthday's are so much fun but a first birthday is extra special because there is so much growth and change in the First year. I have loved this weekend, thinking about how much I love Brigham and how thankful I am that he joined our family when he did, he is such a perfect blessing and brings so much happiness to everyone who knows him. Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Brigham!

Brigs First Puzzle

A puzzle can be difficult for an almost one year old

                     I thought it was so cute Brig was trying to piece it together through Simon's crib.

                  Okay so maybe he wasn't really piecing it together, but I swear it looked like he was.

                 I was laughing at his facial expressions and all the grunting noises he was making.

Aha! Got it! looks like he was after a teething toy after all, but if he ever ends up being a puzzle whiz, I will have this post to prove that he was attempting puzzles at age almost One!

Cutest profile ever

                                How did we ever get so lucky to have Baby Brigham in our family?
