Brigham is 14 months

I never posted about Brigham when he turned one.  It was a crazy time, since we were in Utah.  So here is a bit about Brigham.  Brigham has a very dynamic, intense personality.  He is both ends of the spectrum, at any given time.  He is a crack-up and loves to make people laugh.  He is also very stubborn and will have his way.  He wants a bite or drink of everything everyone in the house eats/drinks.  He gets jealous if one of the other kids is sitting on my lap and will push/pull/hit/cry until he is included in the lap sitting.  He still uses a binky to go to sleep though I have completely finished nursing him as of the last 48 hours.  He loves to play peek a boo.  It has been his favorite game since he was about 8 months.  He isn't walking, but probably could if he decided that was something he wanted to do.  He has amazing balance and climbing skills for a kid his age.  He has recently started climbing onto everything; the dining room table, the couch table, out of the tub, into the tub, etc.  The other day he climbed on top of the Radio Flyer wagon.  He stood on the part where you are supposed to sit and rocked it back and forth.  That was the moment where I was sure he has to have the balance to walk.  He wasn't even wobbly up there.  That boy just has no desire to walk.  All in due time I guess.  He isn't much of a talker.  He babbles like he is having a full conversation with you, but actually words are hard to catch.  He does say "hi-da," all in one word when Jon comes home, so we'll give him credit for that one.  He says dada appropriately but rarely calls me mama.  He just yells or something for my attention.  Brigham is still very cuddly and loves to give hugs and kisses.  Brigham drinks a gallon of liquid a day.  Okay, not really, but for his age and size, I feel like he drinks a lot.  He will scream in his high chair until I remember to get him a drink.  He loves playing in water.  He will climb into any buckets of water we try to set out for the kids to do water activities in.  He has also decided he loves to lay in the bath so we can't put in much water anymore, much to Vanessa and Benson's dislike.  But he will also stay in for about ten minutes and then climbs out.  Vanessa and Benson could be in there all day.  Brigham throws tantrums like a pro.  He flops onto the ground and throws his head into his hands and everything.  He's a natural.  He will also wait until we make eye contact to throw said tantrum.  And if I walk away, he'll follow and start the whole display over again.  Brigham likes to be in on everything, to be one of the gang.  He likes getting his hands dirty and touching, seeing everything.  He will point and babble on some incomprehensible chatter and then carry on, like we understand everything that just poured out of that baby mouth.  We are in the works planning some pictures of the kids, so I will post those soon.  But we feel very lucky to have this handsome, handful of a man in our family!
