Update

Hello all!! Figured I'd throw my hat into the ring and try this blogging thing out for myself. Sorry we haven't updated this blog lately, but we've had a lot going on with the little guy lately. Between being sick, teething, and not wanting to sleep at all, we've had some trying days and sleepless nights. Let's just say that Thanksgiving night he decided to stay up from 1:00am-4:00am and tested his daddy's patience.....I have a sneaking suspicion that that won't be the last time testing it in his lifetime either. I can already tell he's going to be an ornery one by the way he looks and smiles or laughs at you when he's doing something he isn't supposed to. I love it though...I have to admit. Who wants a boring kid really? But through it all he's been a trooper and taking it pretty well we think (thank you Children's Tylenol). We all went down to Chanute for the Herron Thanksgiving and had a great time seeing everyone!! I think Briggs was in a little bit of shock when he left because he was getting used to having 6 or more people giving him their undivided attention at all times. Not that we let him play in the street by himself at home or anything, but he constantly had something fun to do down there. It was either looking at chickens, shopping, riding in a wheelbarrow, getting a haircut (yes...again), shooting baskets, or playing outside. When we got back to KC, we passed him off to the Tomlinson side and Sara and I were able to go on a mini-date of dinner and Xmas shopping at Zona Rosa. Sunday was our annual family Xmas trip to the mall....I try to go only once a year. We knocked out most of our shopping and Briggs was fantastic during the entire time. He was either sleeping in his stroller, pointing at balloons, or just people watching which is always fun to do at the mall. This weekend we are going to pick out his first real Xmas tree and will hopefully have some pics for you real soon (um...Sara...that's up to you).
