danielle's graduation luau stuff

jessie and i are throwing our little sister danielles graduation party! we decided on a fun tropical theme. i started hunting for decorations the other day. this is mainly to show jessie what i have so far, if youre wondering why i took a picture of a pile of stuff!

(ps--those bowls are stripped like the flip flop trays)

this week im going to buy a ton of tiki torches and more chinese lanterns.

another favorite outfit!

i absolutely love all of these gymboree critters. briggy's friends include, hedgehogs, gophers, ants, camels and those hot-dog shaped puppies!
here's a little gopher digging up some turnips!

...and i just had to zoom in on these little piggies! i love his little feet--his little smiles are so precious when you give them a little tickle!

one of my favorite outfits

ever since i bought this little camel sleeper, i have been so excited to see brigham in it---finally he fit into this week!!! i love the colors and the cute camel..and of course my deliciously cute baby!

All cleaned up!

I just thought he looked so flippin cute the other day after we gave him a quick bath. I have the messiest 2 month old ever. He spits up so much, its a constant battle to keep him clean and not smelly and stinky. (sorry, brig!)
I cant wait til he starts eating cereal soon...i'll have to bathe him three times a day! breakfast lunch and dinner!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

I couldn't help take a picture of how silly my son looks! Ive been putting socks over his little claws! Im so nervous to clip them again since last time I cut him a few times. It has been so warm these past few days, we had him just in his diaper one very warm evening! it looks like he's nakey with socks. *I clipped his nails yesterday, so no more embarrassing socks for the moment*

Briggy's vaccine day

Last tuesday Briggy got his first round of shots. Before we left I "drugged" him up. As soon as I gave him the tylenol he pretty much fell asleep. He was pretty tough when it came to the shots. He let out one big yelp--and his face was redder than a radish. But right after he snuggled up in my arms and calmed right down. The rest of the day was daddy-briggy bonding time watching american idol while i was at jocelyn's baby shower. its weird how only being away from him for a couple hours seems like an eternity---i dream about getting away sometimes, because he's always latched on to me one way or another...but when i do get that moment away all i think about is him! my little barnacle, thats what jessie calls him. hes such a good boy.

later that night Tom and Briggy were passed out. Poor Tom. He leaves for school at like 7 am, then goes straight to work, then comes home at 8 pm. After a quick dinner, he's usually passed out soon after. At least they get to snooze together!

oh happy day!

today was a great day! although brigham was bright-eyed about 7:30 am and was pretty much awake until his first real nap around 5:30 PM....we had a lot of time to play. While I was attempting to get him to nap in the pack n play, he was starting to coo and make cute little happy noises while looking at his little musical monkey toy I have set up in his line of vision. So I went over to admire how cute my son was being and started shaking a rattle in front of him making silly faces and saying silly things. and YEA! it finally happened! He smiled a real smile--I am sure of it. His first real "happy baby" smile and not just "i have a lot of gas" smile! I grabbed the camera and tried to recreate the moment and I actually did get one more big smile out of him. the day before his two month birthday! he finally got in a couple milestones I was hoping he'd conquer! now if only he could conquer a full nights sleep......
