Naptime

Wow naptime is so great! I love that I get a little time to get things done during the day. So far the stay at home mamma has been very productive! Cleaning, updating the blog, dishes, dinner, Briggs' monthly pictures, redecorating and a little shopping. Maybe I should take a nap one of these days. It seems like I get more done with a baby than before. I can't really sleep in and be lazy anymore. Now I just have to start on my project list that I've been wanting to do forever. Before I do anything else I should probably finish a rug that I started when I was pregnant... Brandon keeps reminding me about it whenever I talk about another project :)

Besides my firm determination to put some miles on that jogging stroller it seems like I have an endless list of things that I want to get done this summer. Planting a flower pot for our front porch, make a couple skirts and a few blankets, finish our family portrait wall (which currently only has a large mirror and seasonal decor), recovering a couple chairs that Brandon inherited from his Grandma. They currently have this royal green velvet stuff, legh! While I really want to recover and refinish them I have a feeling this will be a huge undertaking for me and my pinterest boards... I may be enlisting the help of my wonderful mother-in-law (Trina) for the project, and my mom (Dawn) for babysitting :) I'm sure they would both be thrilled. Especially if they both ended up babysitting.

Oh, so many things to do! So on Monday I took pictures of Briggs for his 6 mo pics and realized that I haven't posted any of them so here ya go! Briggs' first 6 months!


Aunt Kara would like it pointed out that his bum which is not pictured says "Pirate Booty"
 
 
Briggs on his blessing day, because I can't find his 2 mo pic. He was about 2 1/2 months for his blessing. He looks so cute in his little sweater! Brandon did an amazing job!
 
 
He is such a content kid! He will just sit there and look around. The only times he gets upset is if he's hungry or tired, and let's be honest so does everyone other human being.
 
 
This is about when he started rolling over.
 
 
Had to add this pic, we started letting him play with his little stuffed animals and he totally growls while he's shoving them in his mouth! So adorible!
 
 
Look mom! No hair! Well he does have a little but the hair that was really dark at birth has completely all rubbed off except for a little on the back. But what's crazy is it looks like it's coming back blond, crazy!
 
 
Had to add this one! We started him on cereal and he loves it! At this point we were getting really close to him sleeping through the night. That's right, he still wakes up a couple times a night.
 
 
Briggs loves bath time, and pretty much any time he's naked. Even when it's time for a diaper change he gets this huge grin when the pants come off :)
 
 
Briggs was helping me go through our junk mail :)
 
 
I love my boys!
 
 
Briggs in the grass for the first time. He really did like it, I think the glare is for all of the pictures I took, Haha!
 
 
Mid smile... and kicking
 
 
Now that we can get him to smile picking pictures is going to get much more difficult...
 
 
 
 
He's mad that the carrots aren't coming fast enough
 
 
Once again, what happens when it's not coming fast enough. He pretty much dives onto that spoon! I love Brandon's face!
 
 
Our cute "Little Dude"
 
Thanks for reading! More updates to come!

Stay at home Mamma!


Hooray! Brandon found a job which means that I was able to quit mine. Today is the first day of just me and Briggs!

Hopefully this means I can try to update this more often :)

All kinds of things planned including, planting flowers for spring, going to the zoo, spring cleaning and fieldtrips to see Nanna, Grandpa, and Grandma at work. So excited to finally be home!

Updates to follow, hopefully :)
