Brigham's new trick

So Brigham has figured out a new trick...not so sure I'm excited about this one? Especially not this early

Lady Antebellum

So I guess I listened to Lady Antebellum a little too much while I was pregnant with Brigham (especially their song "Need You Now" Brigham absolutely loves them!! That one song especially!!! He will stop whatever he is doing and turn towards the tv when it comes on. I recorded it on our TV so whenever he gets fussy I turn it on and it saves me for a few minutes. I recorded him watching the whole song today and as soon as it finished he looked at me like "again mom?" Its too long of a video to post on here so you'll just have to take my word for it.

This isn't his favorite song he's listening to here but it's his favorite group!

I'm back!

We have had a crazy last 3 weeks! Brigham and I flew up to Utah by ourselves (he did great on the plane) We spent about 10 days there. While we were there it was Syracuse days and Brigham got to go to his first parade! I was so nervous he was going to freak out when the fire trucks came by with their sirens...but he did great! He just kept kicking his legs and talking. We also started feeding him baby food! He LOVES it! We had a great time in Utah! Then we met Mike at the SLC airport and he flew with us to Portland to visit his family. While we were there Steve and Joann received their mission call...to Nauvoo! So excited for them! They leave Aug. 2nd for a year. Also while we were there Brigham started his fake cough again! I think cuz of grandpa! :) He is doing it as I type! He also got to swim for the first time, not sure if he liked it, there were a bunch of kids screaming and splashing him and he didnt last too long. We went to the zoo and Brigham seemed to love it! I love the zoo and hadnt been in years! I just wish the animals were out where we could see more of them! But it was a great time! As much fun as we had I was so ready to get home!
We flew to Vegas where Mike left his car and drove back...I arrived to a surprise! We had decided to do a little project in our bedroom. We wanted to paint stripes and do a chair rail type thing, when I left to Utah Mike had finished painting one of the walls and that was it...well when we got back it was all done! There is a little bit of touch up work to do but I think it looks fantastic!
I also took Brigham to his 6 month appt yesterday and he is doing great! He weighs 20lbs 13 oz and is 28 inches long...he gained exactly 4 lbs and his head grew a ton I guess, they had to remeasure just to make sure :)

Right out of the bath, crazy hair and tired eyes!

Sitting up like a big boy


Ready for a swim

The twins!

Oh just blowin raspberries

Chubby legs are stuck

Happy boy!

This is his 2nd time eating applesauce

Two new things for Brig

Lindsey got some sunglasses for Brig while they were up in Salt Lake. He loves them and as you can see he is just relaxing. The sunglasses are great they have a strap that goes around his head so they stay on. I thought he would pull them off all the time but Lindsey says he doesn't and loves them.

We had Brig get into his basketball outfit the other day. I don't think he really liked having the tennys on but he looked great in his basketball shorts. If he keeps growing like he has so far he is going to be like 7 feet tall and about 220lbs.

What do you think?

Ok I want to know what everyone thinks...everybody has thought that Brigham looks like Grandpa Sorensen! I wanted to see for myself so I had Gram Sorensen email me some pics of Grampa when he was a baby and this is what she sent...

I can't believe how similar they look!! Now we know where Brigham gets his HUGE noggin!! :) We already knew he got Grampa's sweat genes!

I think Brigham is a good mixture of both me and Mike and is the cutest thing in the world!

Standing with no help!

He loves his teddy bear Grandma Woodruff gave him

Wasn't a huge fan of the high chair

Just relaxin

Johnny jump up

Thanks to Sarah for the Johnny jump up she gave us! Brigham absolutely loves it! We had tried to put him in it a few times before and he didnt have a clue what to do...but thanks to Pete and Angie (they gave us their exersaucer) he has learned how to jump now!

We spent a couple days down in Phoenix this week...it was a blast! Had dinner at Pete and Angie's house the first night, Dave and Jess were there too. That night we put Brigham to bed like normal and around 10:30 he woke up SCREAMING like he was in pain!! It was so sad! We had been giving him Tylenol for a couple days cuz of his teeth and forgot to give it to him that night, so I ran and got some ice from the hall and Mike sat with Brigham and rocked him with a cold binky in his mouth, I thought it was going to be a looong night! Brigham went right to sleep after about 15 minutes of switching a frozen binky and Mike's frozen finger in his mouth :) He slept awesome!! Even with our retarded AC unit in the hotel...it would turn off for like 15 seconds then turn right back on, it also sounded like a freakin car motor that just keeps turning! It was so annoying! Luckily I slept great too, Mike on the other hand didn't...he had to get up pretty early to go golfing with Pete. They had a great time! Mike shot a 71!!! He was so proud of himself! I went over to Angie's house and had some much needed girl talk! The boys got done and met us at the house then we all headed to BJ's and had a fantastic lunch and got some COLD STONE icecream! YUMMY! While we werer down there Mike did some work as well :)
While he did I went to a mall in North Phoenix and had a blast! We went to a puppy store and saw the cutest puppies in the world! We had a great time!
Tonight we get to have the missionaries over for dinner! YAY for pizza!
Our sealing process is finally moving forward a little! It's about time! Just in time for our Bishop to move :(
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Just workin with daddy

He is doing his fake cough in this video while he's jumping...such a geek!
