School Days

Sorry no new photos to post this time we have not had a good one lately. Hard to snap a decent photo when he is constantly moving. Briggs has a had a big week since Monday he transitioned from the infant room to the 12-18 month room at school. We were a bit nervous about him leaving all his wonderful teachers and sweet little friends but he has really done awesome. He now eats at a real table and feeds himself. His teacher has reported that Briggs is one of the best eaters and sits perfectly at the table. Another big accomplishment is that he has went from taking two naps in the pack and play to taking only an afternoon nap on his own little mat on the floor. I actually got to see him snoozing on his mat the other day and it melted my heart. He looked so little curled up with his blanket. There is the cutest little girl in his new class and I am keeping my eye on her I think she may have the hots for Briggs.

Promise to have vidoes and photos soon. Hope you all have a Happy Halloween.

Nurse Nightingale

Briggs was a lucky little boy today and got to spend the day with his Grandma Herron. He was feeling a little under the weather on Sunday and we were not sure if he should go to daycare. Doe Doe saved the day and made the trip up here to take care of our little patient. Besides a late night Briggs was really feeling great today. I think the sickness may have been a hoax just so he could spend the day with his Grandma. They had a great time and were able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. Here our a few pictures from there day together. Thank you Doe Doe we love you and appreciate all the tlc.

Run Daddy Run

We spent Saturday morning rooting Greg on at the Kansas City 1/2 marathon. After months of training Greg completed his half marathon in the cold, dreary weather. He completed the 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 2 minutes. Briggs, and I along with Greg's parents cheered him on along the course. Briggs loved watching the runners and even recognized Greg as he ran passed us. He was such a trooper in the cold and in and out of the car. Hope that someday he will be able to join us on our runs.

Well Briggs is officially 1 year old. We have celebrated all we could possibly celebrate a birthday for a little boy. The pictures on the last post were from Briggs actual birthday. Greg and I both took the day off and took Briggs to Deanna Rose Farms. It was a beautiful day and Briggs loved the goats and chicken.

On Sunday we had a family birthday party for Briggs. All the Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins came in full force. It was such a nice day and we loved being able to share our sweet little boy with everyone. We thought that Briggs would really tear into his cake but he actually took it pretty easy. A little out of character for such a food lover. He received so many nice things. It was so funny we he came down stairs this morning I think he had forgot about his new toys and he was so excited to see them like it was the first time. Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes, gifts, and love for Briggs big day. What a lucky little boy!

Happy Birthday Briggs Patrick

I can't believe that my little boy is going to be one whole year old. When I think how much our lives have changed in this past year I feel a bit overwhelmed with joy and happiness. I had no idea that this little being that lived in my belly for nine months would lead us on such a journey. Someone told me when I was pregnant that having a baby would be the best and craziest roller coaster ride of our lives, god were they right. I feel so blessed that not only do I have the most wonderful son in the world but I have a wonderful man as my husband and Briggs father to share this life with. I kind of feel like I won the lottery with this amazing family I have been given. I love you Greg and Briggs and can not wait to many more years of happiness together.

Master Baker

Briggs helped me to make a birthday cake for Greg's birthday on Sunday and what a great helper he was. He did not love the mixer as you can see from his pouty face below. The cake was great and I will take Briggs as my sidekick in the kitchen any day.

LIttle Wildcat

Briggs attended his first K-State game today at arrowhead stadium. We went with the Ramsay's and had a great time watching the boys together. It was kind of chilly at first but a good excuse for Briggs to sport his k-state jacket. He was such a trooper all day considering that he did not get a afternoon nap. He loved the band and really stared at people when they yelled. I am not sure he understood what everyone was so excited about. Turned out to be a great game and I am pretty sure we have future wildcat fan on our hands.

American Royal

Greg, Bill, and Tim took all the kidos down to the American Royal BBQ last night. Apparently Briggs has a love of ribs that we did not know about. I truly think he would eat just about anything that we put in front of him. They had a great time and Briggs came home a tired little boy.
