Good smiles

September 22, 2008

Rigley turned 8 weeks on Sept. 21. I didn't get a pic, but here are some from the next day. He was all smiles and I was trying to catch it.



Brighton couldn't stand the thought of not getting his picture taken, too! All the time I was taking Rigley's picture, he kept saying, "Mommy, take my picture. Take my picture!"

At the zoo

September 19, 2008

We went to the zoo with our playgroup today. It was Rigley's first trip to the zoo and he slept through 99% of it!

Here is Brighton with all of his little friends!

The Next Food Network Star

September 17, 2008

We were watching Guy's Big Bite on Food Network and I told Brighton that it was time to take a nap. He told me that he couldn't take a nap because he "had to help Guy make vegetables."

ABC's and more

Brighton was playing with my exercise bands today and started singing the ABC's all on his own. Here he is doing his version of bicep curls while singing the ABC song, just like we do in Stroller Strides class!

Another song he has learned at Stroller Strides is Twinkle, Twinkle.

I gave Brighton his first taste of candy last night, a piece of candy corn. This is what he told me at lunch today when I was seeing if he was done eating.

This morning he got his Elmo "building hat" and asked me to get his blocks so he could build a big block tower.

Seven weeks

Rigley was 7 weeks old on Sunday (9/14). Here are some pics of the boys after we got home from church.




On a completely unrelated note, Brighton went to his first friend b-day party on Saturday (9/13). He had a really good time and behaved really well. That is in spite of the fact that before we went he kept telling me, "We're going to Logan's house for his birthday so I can play with his new toys!" ;)

Playing with his toys

Rigley started playing with the toys on his bouncy on Friday (9/12).

As soon as Brighton saw the camera, he kept saying, "Take my picture." So, here it is...

The world needs more Brighton

Brighton is an adorable, hilarious genius! Just in case you don't believe me, here are some pictures and stories to justify that statement. :)

He so loves to help. Here he is carrying the trash to the door for me.


He got a Diego "bike" for his birthday, but has not wanted to put the helmet on until just the other day.


After Daddy gave him his bath last night, he came running down the hall telling me his had his towel! (At least he strategically placed the towel!)

He is so funny. I was talking to Rigley and told him he was so cute. Brighton was in the room playing and he looks up and tells me, "No, Mommy. I'M so cute."

Brighton must have a photographic memory because he recognizes store and brand logos. I was flipping through a magazine and he was looking at it with me. There was a Home Depot ad on one page. He points to the logo and says, "Look, Mommy. Home Depot. We can help." (On Home Depot commercials, their tagline is "You can do it, We can help.") He has, of course, been able to recognize the Target bullseye for many months, now. We must go there more than I realize!

I love this boy!
