Brigham's 2 month stats

We took Brigham to his 2 month appt last week, he weighs 13 lbs. 6 oz., he's 24 inches long and his head is now 17 inches around!! He's a freakin tank! I was extremely shocked to learn he was over 13 pounds! He also got his shots and man that was so sad! I always thought it was weird when moms would talk about almost crying when their kids get shots...well I teared up a bit when they gave them to him. He is doing great, he had a little cold for the last week or so but he is finally starting to get over it. He also learned to love his swing this week!!! The day I broke his favorite thing...the mobile! Don't worry we got him a new one and he loves it! He talks to it for 20 minutes strait, its the cutest thing in the world! He has started to be more active and stronger in his kicks he gives my ribs :) I thought I was done with getting kicked in the ribs when I had him? We have been going on walks together and having some play dates at the park, he loves being social. So does mom :) I don't have much time to lose all the baby weight! It's a heck of a lot harder than it used to be.
My sister had her little girl on Thursday, they named her Paisley Lynn, she was 7 pounds. They tell me she doesnt cry at all and sleeps all the time! They ar rubbing it in sooooo bad! HAHA!

This is right after his bath last night, I'm a horrible mom but I think his face is hilarious when he's cold!

He hates the flash on the camera

Isn't he so stinkin cute!!! His eyebrows are getting darker and I freakin love it!

Laughing at silly daddy

He loves the camera! Good thing he's a Sorensen! We love to take pictures!

Brigham's first road trip

What a good big cousin!!

Well we made it through Brigham's first road trip! He and I left early Feb. 9th, going off of 3 hours of sleep might I add, met my dad in Vegas, that was the longest 5 hours of my life!! He basically cried the whole way there! Once we picked my dad up he was good for about 30 minutes :) He absolutely hates his carseat! It took about 13 hours to get to my parents house and both of us were just exhausted. I bathed him and fed him and prepared myself to be awake for a few hours trying to get him to sleep like normal but as soon as I burped him the last time he was OUT! I was so shocked I didnt know what to do! He slept for about 6 hours and then up every 3 hours like normal. The next night I expected to go back to normal again but he went right to sleep again! and slept for 8 and a half hours strait!!! I woke up at 5 worried he was dead :) I couldn't get myself back to sleep. He absolutely loved all of the attention...he is a social butterfly! He also loved the cats :) Mikey hates that part. Everytime that would meow he would coo and try to meow just like them...haha! So the 3rd night I was thinking him sleeping thru the night was too good to be true...I was wrong again! He did it again! What a big boy! He is growing up so fast!

We bought Brigham his first church outfit and took him to church for the first time! He looked so stinkin cute! We also celebrated BJ's birthday that day too. I started to get sick that Monday. Mikey flew in on Thursday night, it was soooo nice to see him after 10 days! and of course Brigham goes back to his normal sleep schedule so now Mikey thinks I'm lying about him sleeping through the night. My mom and dad took Brigham for the night on Friday while Mikey and I celebrated my birthday. We went to Chili's and he took me shopping for jeans that aren't maternity :) Man that was depressing! I REALLY need to workout hard! Saturday we had the whole family over for pizza, cake and icecream and play a little Wii.

We left Monday and drove to Vegas and stayed the night there, figured Brigham wouldn't make the 13 hour drive again. While we were there I took him in to my old work to show him off, while I was there Mikey suggested I go out with the girls and he would take care of Brigham all night. What a great husband! So me Sandra and Andi went to dinner and just caught up and had a blast! It was so nice to see my old friends! And to have a little bit of time to myself. We made it home yesterday and of course Brigham caught my cold :( I feel so bad for him, there is nothing I can do for him and he just feels horrible! We have his 2 month appt on Friday so I will post his stats then, but I am guessing he weighs at least 11 pounds! He is a little piggy!




Here's us right after church


Cute little outfit! he looked so grown up

HAHA!!! This was when he was getting heat rash while he ate...it finally went away!

But I just thought his picture was hilarious!

This was taken tonight, he doesn't feel good at all! but his hair is getting thicker :)

I love this outfit!

On the last night we were there my dad decided to play with him on his bed and he was giggling soooo loud! I didn't ever capture his full laugh on video but here is a little bit of it. He is growing up so fast!

Thanks to Grandpa Sorensen (his sweat genes) we now have to put a cool wash cloth on Brigham's head...only while he eats. He works up such a sweat that he gives himself heat rash! It shows me what he would have looked like if he was born a girl...VERY pretty! :)

Next Tuesday I get to drive up to meet my dad in Vegas where he will be for work and then drive back to Utah with him! I get to stay for 2 weeks! I'm so excited! Mikey will be gone a lot during that time and figured I would go insane if I was home alone with Brigham that whole time. We will be there during my birthday so maybe we'll be able to celebrate a little...that is if Grandma and Grandpa don't mind :)
I am still getting used to the sleep deprivation...for those of you who know me, that should be no surprise I'm still not used to it. Brigham is getting SO big! He is 6 and a half weeks old. He has also found out that he can turn his head, he flings it from side to side and goes absolutely nuts! He's going to rub off his mullet! :( So sad!
As for me I am still recovering, I still have a little bit of pain but things are good. I did my first workout in months and thought I was going to die! I'm going to try to lose 45 pounds within the next few months to fit into my wedding dress again when Mikey, Brigham and I get sealed in the temple.
Wish me luck on my drive alone to Vegas :)

A few pics from our trip to Phoenix

Cute Video

Just thought I would share this cute video so everybody could see what a cutie he is! And look at those thighs!

5 weeks already??

Well we have survived over 5 weeks! WHEW!! Last Monday we took Brigham to the Dr. due to an over paranoid mom :) He had a white spot on the roof of his mouth and was worrying me, luckily nothing is wrong but we did get him weighed and he is a wopping 10 lbs. 3 oz.!! Big guy! He is starting to smile at me when I say hi to him (makes everything all worth it) When he is half asleep he even laughs! Cracks me up everytime. He still loves his mobile and whenever I feel like I just need a break or need food I put him under that and he is happy for at least 5 minutes! He is a very observant baby and I can tell he is going to be a handful once he gets moving on his own. He wants to sit up and move around already! Today I put him in his bouncy seat and he was trying so hard to sit up! He holds his head up which he has done since the day he was born.

He has HUGE thighs which he got from his mommy of course! and he is changing every single day!

We also survived Mikey's first trip out of town...barely! It was extremely difficult and if it wasn't for my awesome ward members bringing me dinner I probably wouldn't have eaten the whole time. One day I totally forgot to eat anything til somebody brought me an awesome dinner.

We also survived our first trip out of town all together. Mikey's brother David got married this last weekend so we spent 2 and a half days down in Phoenix. I do not recommend that to anybody with a newborn! We had a blast but...I wouldn't do t again. Brigham did great it was mom who was stressed out :) He absolutely loved all the extra people to hold and love him and I loved all the help too! I think he gets bored when its just me and him at home. Mikey went on another business trip this week and just got home tonight, we did 10 times better this time, I think we are both finally getting used to our new lives.

I forgot to mention last time that it was Mikeys 31st birthday the beginning of this month and I totally spaced it and didnt even celebrate! I'm a horrible wife! Anyways Happy birthday Mikey!

He loves sleeping on momma's chest

Big smile, I was teasing him with the binky and he thought it was hilarious

Another smile...isn't he so stinkin cute

Giving me attitude
