7 Months Old, Daddy, and Silly Glasses

I always wonder why the first year of a baby's life goes by so fast and yet pregnancy goes by so slow! The reality that my sweet Brigham is already 7 months old puts me in a slight state of shock about how quickly life happens. I feel that his time has been passing much quicker than the other two. WHY!!! He is such a joy and a blessing to our family. He is not only beautiful, but he is happy all the time. He loves his brothers and just absorbs everything they do and say. Nobody can get him to laugh like his brothers being silly and/or crazy. He loves to be right in the heart of all the action. He has his own little box of toys and just feels like a big boy sitting there rummaging through to find that perfect toy for the moment. He got his first tooth the week before Valentines Day and the second one this week which has taken nursing to a new level. He is finding ways to move, not crawl , but just move. I can put him on the ground and moments later, he is still sitting up but in a new location. I can see his desire to get to new places and find something to put in his mouth. He is my one baby that LOVES to put things in his mouth. What a challenge that will be for all of us. I just love this little boy and am so grateful that he is my son.

He has the sweetest, warmest smile.
He loves to stand up.
A moment with his brother. Lendl gives Brigham so much attention. I love it and hope it last.

Daniel came home for Valentines weekend. Though he was only here for two days, we soaked every bit of him up. There were tears when he left but we are so proud of the hard work he is doing to better his career and better our lives. One thing he has been doing, if you can't tell, he has been growing his beard out. It might not look it but when you pull the hair, it is an inch long. It has grown out past the prickly stage and I personally LOVE his new look.
The boys got these silly glasses at a birthday party and put them on each other. They all had laughs at how the others looked.
