I PROMISE!!!

I will be updating soon! Things have been a whirlwind...I have so many new pics and updates to post . Briggs is getting SO big and doing so many cute things. We will have to get the video camera out too! Gosh, I feel terrible that I am not documenting any better than this...his baby book is empty too! :( I have got to get on top of this!

Lights, Camera, Action!

And now for the video I promised...Briggs probably isn't going to appreciate this one day...BEWARE: Video contains "potty-talk!"

Two interviews, a job offer, and now searching for daycare....

So sorry it has been so long...I knew I may need a kick every now and then with this blogging thing! Tommy has been bugging me quite a bit lately to update, so I am going to try to make it really quick! Briggs and I have to go to his 2 month doctor appointment today...he will be getting his shots. :( I still haven't got the whole get-a-baby-and-me-ready-in-a-short-amount-of-time thing down yet! Anyway, it has almost been a month since my last post, so ALOT has changed including Briggs!!! After we got back from Schlitterbahn I casually applied for a couple of jobs and then shortly thereafter I interviewed for two. It was a bit of a surprise to me how fast everything happened. I was offered a job with Study Island. It is a fairly new company that sells web-based test prep and standards mastery products to schools. They are growing tremendously, so it is a good time for me to get in with them. I think this is a good opportunity for me although I will be making some rather BIG sacrifices. I will have quite a commute to downtown Dallas, and I will be taking Briggs to daycare-both of which I am not excited about at all! At the same time, I know that this is all God's plan right now because we and others have been praying too much for it not to be! I am just trying to remind myself of that as I get geared up to begin a new journey. Like I said earlier Briggs has grown like a weed over the last month, so for your entertainment and pleasure I have posted the most recent pictures I have downloaded and even a couple of videos!

This is one of Tommy's favorites! Briggs was taking a nap and Tommy hollered at me to hurry with the camera. He was kicked back, relaxing, and enjoying some zzzzzzzzzs!

These were taken with Pop-O on my birthday...

Funny enough, it was Pop-O's idea to make me a "gansta," but a pretty cute gansta all the same!

Had to get the full body shot to include the shoes...this has become one of my favorite outfits. I LOVE him in a hat!

Hangin' out with Dad in his muscle onesie!


These are all from Briggs' two month photo shoot @ Sears...yes, I know, they look like Sears photos, but had to do it for baby book purposes! Maybe next time we go we won't get a tired and pregnant picture clicker...I'm assuming she was ready to go home since we were the last appointment of the day!

Bath time!

My mom came to visit last week. She helped me get packed for Schlitterbahn and get to my doctor's appointment. I really wouldn't have made it without her. I have always been an over-packer, but nothing prepared me for how much a baby really needs! Thanks mom! While she was here she gave Briggs a tubby, and I got some pictures of him in his cute little froggy towel!

Go Cowboys!!!

Briggs got into his Cowboys gear for the first time today! I had to take some pictures of him in his Dallas Cowboys nursery! Isn't he the cutest?!?!? He is ready to watch some games with his Daddy!

Getting Big!

Ok, because it has been so long and he has grown so much I thought I should take some quick pics and post them. He is bright eyed right now, and he looks so handsome in his big boy clothes! I couldn't choose my favorite so you get a few!

Busy, busy, busy!

Well, as you can see I haven't posted in a while. We have been busy around here! Last weekend Briggs' Houston grammies, Daisy and Sissy, came to visit, and then we almost spent the whole next week with Mom-O and Pop-O. Briggs enjoyed Daisy and Sissy so much and can't wait for them to come visit again! We are gearing and resting up for our first big road trip since Briggs was born. This Friday we are heading out for New Braunfels for the annual Schlitterbahn trip with Tommy's family. Briggs will get to "swim" for the first time, and I can't wait to post pics of him! My parents are going as well to join in the fun!
One more important thing to note...I am having a hard time keeping up with my hungry little monkey, so Briggs "enjoyed" cereal in his bottle for the first time last night. It wasn't quite the experience I was looking for, but it was mainly my fault!!! Poor thing, had to work so hard to get anything out of the nipple. I finally tried poking a hole to make the nipple bigger and it helped a little. I was hoping that afterwards he would go right to sleep and sleep like a champ but instead he was ready to party! We started the feeding at 10:30 and he didn't want to go to sleep until 1:00 am! Although he didn't wake up until 5:00 for another feeding, it wasn't the long night's sleep I was looking for! We will try again tonight and hopefully it goes a little better!

Our little miracle!

He looked so sweet today. We went and visited all of our friends at the school. Everyone just fell in love with him!

My little model

Briggs had his first professional photos taken last Wednesday at 20 days old. The photographer posted a sneak preview of some of his pictures on her blog, so I am now posting them on mine! I can't wait to see the rest of them. She does amazing work, and Briggs didn't do too bad himself! He slept like an angel for her and was just precious the entire time!

All clean :)

After a clean diaper and a clean change of clothes, we are awake again! Isn't he handsome?!?!?

My sweet, patient baby!

I had to go ahead and make my first entry with a picture! I just had to show everyone how patient Mr. Briggs is being while his momma is playing on the computer. Sweet thing has been sitting here for over an hour just as content as can be! I have been blessed with such a good natured baby! He was WIDE awake until I decided to snap a picture, of course!

Just getting started...

Ok, I have decided to try to start blogging, and .....I really am going to try to keep up with it! I figured this would be a great way to document Briggs' life so that everyone can enjoy him along with me and Tommy! I promise I will try my best to keep up to date and if I don't, it is okay to get on to me! Now, if I can just figure this thing out....
