Rollin Rollin Rollin

Well Brigham rolled over today!!! WOOO!! He looked a little confused when he did it...it could be because I screamed when he did it! HAHA!! I was so proud of him! I turned him on his tummy again to see if he would do it again and rolled right over! 3 times in a row! I luckily caught one time on the camera. He also did awesome eating from a spoon! He had a tough time at first but finally got it and realized he needed to open his mouth. He is such a cute little guy and a huge blessing in our lives!



Duck face!

4 month stats

We went to Brigham's 4 month appt today, he weighs 16 lbs. 13 oz. is 27.5 inches long!! His head hasn't grown too much but I think it started out HUGE in the first place :) He is also starting to get some teeth! They aren't out yet but the Dr. could definitely feel them. He ALMOST rolled over today! Just before I had to take Mike to catch his shuttle to the airport we had him laying on his mat on his tummy and he saw daddy and started to roll over! He got his huge noggin and body rolled over just got too tired to get his legs over :) We will keep practicing and he will have it down in no time!

Mike is in Spokane for the whole week for a regional meeting...back in his old stomping grounds! It's going to be a very long week!

I did get to go shopping today! I needed a new outfit for my sisters wedding, so I got a cute black skirt, bright blue top and some black pumps!! I'm going to wear them around the house to buff up my calves! I'm like 6 feet tall with them on! We'll be back up in Utah in a couple weeks for the wedding...don't ask me why we even came home...this time we are flying though! AAHH! I'm a little nervous to see how Brigham will do, I think I will be worse than him :) Mike is going to fly to SLC with us and then from there to Hawaii!! Lucky! He says its not going to be any fun but I think he's just trying to make me feel better cuz I can't go this time

More pics

Sorry I told you I had a ton of pics...here are a few more. Also Brigham has invented a new noise that he does all the time! To me it sounds like cats growling at each other. HAHA!! It's so cute! He just decided to do it one night and hasn't stopped. I think we are going to have a huge talker on our hands once he decides to talk. He has also gotten better at pulling my hair!!! It hurts sooo bad! While I burp him he tries to eat my cheek too, I think he's trying to give me kisses though.
I can't believe he is already 4 months old(today) Ever since he was born I have always told Mike he doesn't seem like a baby to me, I think its because he has such distinct facial features and is sooo animated! I can't wait to see how is when he grows up...Mike seems to think he is going to be a ladies man :) He is such a flirt!





He used to love to bury his face in my arm! So glad he doesn't do that anymore!


Paisley's Easter outfit



Even though Mike wasn't there with us on Easter I made an egg for him



Just comparing our beast with teeny Paisley



SOOOOO Exhausted



This is his blessing tux...a little too big right here, we had to roll up his sleeves and his pants. But I figured it would be perfect for the temple




First attempt feeding him cereal with a spoon...HAHA didn't work too good

We are still alive!

Yes we are still alive! Brigham and I have been in Utah for about 3 weeks now and just haven't had time or a computer to update the blog. Mike just joined us friday night and we will be leaving for home tomorrow morning :( It's been a blast seeing my family and just having people around! It gets very lonely at home when Mike is out of town.

We blessed Brigham the first week we were up here and it was a beautiful blessing! I ended up finding an all white tux the will be perfect for when we go through the temple...I will post pics once I get home and can download them on the computer. We also got sick AGAIN!! This time it was a little worse and I am still trying to get over it. I took Brigham in a couple times to Wee care and they weighed him...he weighs 16.5 lbs!!! He has also started to sleep all by himself for like 2 hours in between each feeding during the day!! HALLELUJAH!! Also still sleeping about 10 hours during the night...even when he was sick! Such a good little boy! I still have to wrap him up as tight as possible otherwise he pulls his arms out of the blanket and pulls his binky out, pulls his hair and scratches the crap out of his face. There are times he still figures out a way to get them out. He also likes to have a burp rag layed over the side of his bed so he can look at it when he's trying to get to sleep. You're probably wondering how I know that? Well I'm smart!! :) I put him down, he looks at me and then looks away and looks right at the burp rag until he falls asleep! Silly kid! I think he is also getting a tooth, he is drooling so much more than normal and I feel a big bump! Let's just hope it actually comes out and doesnt play tricks on us. He is getting better at sitting up on his own, his huge tummy still gets in the way but he's trying. He has also started to stand up a lot more, with us holding him of course, but I can already tell he is going to be a handful once he learns to crawl and walk. Which I'm kind of looking forward to since it will get me moving and help me lose some weight!

Still not sure on a temple date yet...we are waiting on Mike's ex wife to write a letter giving us clearance to get sealed. Not sure why she has any say in it but oh well. I think he needs to just get a sealing cancellation and get it over with. But thats just me. It should be hopefully sometime in the next month. We are going to do it in the Salt Lake Temple if we can and we are so excited!

We also spent a few days in St. George before we came up to my parents house. We went to Zion for a day and went on a beautiful hike(with Brigham in his stroller) it was gorgeous weather and I even got a little tan! Mike worked the next day and then "worked" again the day after that...by that I mean he went golfing! He says its for work? Which means I got to go shopping!! I found some way cute clothes for my sisters little girl and a cute outfit for Brigham. Still hate shopping for myself! I need to lose like 50 pounds before I'll like shopping again.
I will post some pics when I get home, I took a TON!!
