my baby babe..

Ever since Briggy's first birthday I have been noticing more and more his independence and his desire to all the big boy things he sees other kids doing. Never in a million years did I expect that this would make me SO sad! Sure I get so proud when i see him accomplishing new things and making such huge strides but that doesn't always mean its easy seeing your baby become a little boy. I was looking through his baby album the other day and couldn't help but notice how so many of his pictures look alike.. I mean of course they would they are all of Brig but i noticed something I can honestly say i hadn't noted we had captured in his many baby pics.. we had caught little pieces of his bubbly, lovie and comical personality. I thought i would share what i mean..

Little expressions he does while concentrating,

or no matter where you go having to find the "perfect" little bench

for him to have some alone time.

His little smirk he ALWAYS gets when he is really proud of himself,

Or his wacky face he pulls when he is beyond silly..

After looking through all of his pictures a dozen times (like i always do) I realized that no matter how big he gets (even if he is less cuddly and is developing a temper :( ) He will forever be my Lil bud and he will always have his same sweet smile ! I love my Briggy boy oh so much.. and sometimes wonder what i would ever so with out his sweet kisses!!

careful.. its contagious!

Scaring daddy to death.. or atleast he thinks so :)

Home sweet home..

Brig and I took a trip back home for a couple of weeks and it was so much fun! Brig actually got to use the snow closes i bought for him. (aparrently just because you live in the mountains doesn't always mean you will have snow!) Brig was able to see all of my grandpa cows and the sheep which he loved and got SO excited over! despite my attemps to clearify the sound a sheep makes he was determined that sheep, horses and cows all moo.. it was pretty cute! it was so nice to relax and spend time with family.

we also got to spend a week in moab, which is always fun! Brig absolutely loved going for rides and even though it was pretty much freezing he was determined to see where we were going and make sure he didn't miss out on a thing, there was no way he was gonna stay bundled up in a blankie!! Whever he got the chance to sit on a motorbike his eyes totally lit up and when it came time to get off ... well that wasn't such a pleasant story:) since that trip he basically has decided he is a big boy. he is saying so many things and it seems like everyday he is suprising me with a new word. He is working on potting training.. he has been doing so great telling me when he needs to go but once on his new "big boy seat" he just gets silly and wants to run nakie!! oh well he is only just barely fifteen mo. so i am ok with having it be a work in progress:) i am jyst so proud of him i can't beileve he started wanting to do it on his own!
