Found his fingers - 6 Weeks

Rigley found his fingers and has started sucking on them now. He was doing it, so I went to get the camera. Then, of course, he wouldn't do it anymore. I think he was tired of me trying to get him to put his fingers back in his mouth.


Rigley turned 6 weeks old on Sunday (9/7). Here is a better picture of him!

He has also really started cooing this week. He is also smiling much more - it's so sweet.

Jumpmania!

For playgroup yesterday, we went to Jumpmania - an inflatable fun center. Brighton finally got into the inflatables & then it was difficult to get him out to go home. I wish we would have taken him there before now - I found out we wouldn't have even had to pay for him before he turned 2!

Here he is bouncing with his friend Logan.

Rain, rain, come again!

We had a few days of rain this week, which was perfect for Brighton to try out his new rain boots and coat from his Seattle cousins (how appropriate, right?). When it was raining and there were lots of puddles, though, he didn't want to go outside. I finally got him out and we found a couple of tiny puddles.
His rain coat fits very well, actually a tad bit big...that is until we put the hood up. As most of you know, Brighton has quite a melon! (Just more room for his brains!) I think we'd have to buy a 5T coat if we wanted the hood to fit!

Brighton chillin'

I know this is not a revelation for anyone, but taking care of two kids can be really hard sometimes! Some days Rigley decides to wake up and cry right about the time I am getting Brighton down for his nap. This happened the other day and I asked Brighton just to relax in the chair while I fed Rigley. He was being really quiet and when I looked over, this is what I saw...He had fallen asleep in the chair. After I snapped this pic, I did move him to his bed so he'd be more comfortable.

Being a big brother is hard work! Sometimes, Brighton just needs to relax and chill.

He's smiling!

Rigley started smiling when he's awake! He's been smiling and laughing in his sleep since we brought him home from the hospital, but on August 29 he smiled when I was talking to him. I wasn't sure if it was just a fluke or not, since he also rolled over that morning, too! He was laying on the ottoman and I turned to grab a diaper, when I turned back he was laying on his stomach! However, he has not rolled over since. He has been smiling at us, though!
I finally caught one for a picture, too.

Rigley's Dedication

We had Rigley dedicated on Sunday (8/31) at Lone Star Baptist Church by my brother, CF, who is the pastor there. Rigley turned 5 weeks old today, too.

Brighton's 2nd B-day party

Even though Brighton's b-day was a few weeks ago, we had his party at Mimi's house over Labor Day so that his cousins could celebrate with us. He wanted a Handy Manny party.
