Brigham

I think all my kids are amazing and Brigham is no different.  But we were around family more when Benson and Vanessa were young so they got to know them a little more.  Brigham has pretty much spent his whole life away from family so they don't know him as well.  This post is to share a little bit of Brigham with the family and so we can remember what he was like too.

Brigham is determined.  If he can't reach something and we won't get it, he will find a way to get it anyway.  We have moved our "key spot" three times in an effort to find somewhere he can't reach, even with a stool.  Brigham also rarely plays with toys.  Tools, knives, anything that would generally be "off limits" are his preference.

 He loves to make us laugh and just does his own thing.  He seems to be oblivious to temperature, most of the time.  Hot....cold....as long as he's having fun, he couldn't care less.

 This picture was ten minutes before church started.  If you look close, you can see that he found a small peanut butter and was snacking on it, but got bored and decided to paint his body with it.  Mischief is his middle name.

 He is silly.  He's loud.  He is not one to blend in with the crowd.  He likes to stand out and be the center of attention.  He isn't the type of kid to randomly walk up to strangers and talk but he is the type of kid to not stop talking if he has someone's attention. 

 He is a cuddler.  He loves to be cuddled.  He loves hugs and kisses.  He likes to sit on your lap.  He still naps everyday but he will only nap if I hold him, or lay by him, and let him have his binki (a.k.a. beesh).

 He also insists on touching faces when he is going to sleep.  He literally attacks your face, as soon as he starts getting tired.  If I push his hands away, he will yell at me, "I want your face!"

 He loves fruit and treats.  He is constantly getting into the cupboards trying to find whatever treat he can.  I had to move my baking shelf up higher because I kept finding him eating handfuls of sugar.  He won't touch veggies but he could eat fruit for every meal.

This boy has my heart.  He is crazy, sometimes a little terror, wild, funny, sweet, and tender.  He definitely makes our days interesting and keeps things lively.
