Eight Months Old

Yes, we know it's hard to believe.
But Brixton is EIGHT months old.
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted the picture of Brixton standing up next to his toy? And he fell over right after I took the photo?
Well, those days are long gone!
Brixton is pulling himself up onto everything.
He kneels, he stands, he rolls...but no crawling yet!
(thank goodness)
And did I mention that he has SEVEN teeth???
(well, you can see five teeth really good...only the newest two when you get up close)
He loves giving us big toothy grins.

The time is flying by so fast and he is getting so big.
Just look at him next to little Baby Andrew, just one week old!
He looks like a bruiser!
Brixton was super skeptical about the tiny baby...especially when he saw me holding him.
But I think he got over it.
I think he was just jealous of Andrew's hair ;)

We went over to Angela & Dan's house for dinner on Friday. As usual, they treated us to a delicious meal and we had a fantastic time!
Saturday morning...hanging out with the P-Dog.

We went to Dylan's 2nd birthday party on Saturday afternoon. It poured rain all morning and then stopped just in time for the party to begin. About an hour into the party it started to pour again.
It was awesome!
Only in San Diego: backyard parties in February!
Yes, Brixton is trying to unzip his jacket...
...and stand...
...and steal the birthday girl's cake!
He doesn't look guilty, does he?
Brixton had a really good time bonking his head (and mine) with the balloon:

Do you see what a good baby we're raising?
He already knows how to help with the laundry!
On Sunday night, we decided to move Brixton into the REAL bathtub.
I wasn't sure how he was going to like it.
After all, I'm not really a bath-type-girl (although Tzaddi is) and I don't even like to get my face wet in the shower.
I thought maybe he would be scared because the tub is so big.
I thought he might fall over and drown.
Boy oh boy...I thought wrong!

    So you're saying Tzaddi is a bath-type girl? I had no idea. BTW, I'm just like you about my face in the shower. Tyrone thinks I'm weird but I'll let him know I'm not alone : )

Lucy Turns Three!

We went to a baby shower and they had a bouncy house for all the kids. There weren't that many kids using it though, so Lily was nice enough to take Brixton in there for his first time. He LOVED it! I know, I know...Brixton isn't wearing any pants. It was SUPER hot and he was wearing jeans so I just decided to take them off. A bit trashy, but we were around family ;) The next day, we had Lucy's birthday party at Hacienda Hughes. It was a pirate theme, and true to form, Dad had to create something EXTRAVAGANT for the kids to enjoy. So he drew a giant cardboard cutout of a pirate...complete with a 3D bird and doubloons! Kaiya and Delia A very fun potato sack race! Pinata time! Here's Lucy enjoying her loot while she waits patiently to open her presents...I think Brixton is wondering where his candy is! Look at the plane! Brixton was very happy to sneak some of Fisher's blueberries! A potato sack race just for Lucy and Brixton! Delia is attempting to make a &quo

Saturday Morning Sweetness

Image
On Saturday morning, Tzaddi went to play disc golf for the first time in 3 months and Brixton and I stayed home. Brixton was in such a good mood and he was so chatty! Of course, this is his usual expression...I think he frowns on purpose so that I'll smile at him and then he can smile back! Pixel has become increasingly interested in Brixton. She likes to see just how close she can get before we yell at her. She also really likes trying to lick his face without us knowing. Luckily, I caught it on camera! Although Brixton doesn't look too upset, does he? Now, this is a rather lengthy video and you have to listen to my horrible singing but I promise you it's worth it! We were listening to B is for Bob and Brixton enjoyed the impromptu live concert.

It's Been Three Years

Image
It's been exactly three years since Rowan passed away. It feels like yesterday. In just a bit over a month from now, Rowan will have been gone longer than he was here. We still miss him more than words can say. He taught us so much: How to love How to be loved Compassion Empathy Hope Gratitude Rowan will always be our first child. Rowan will always be Brixton's big brother. I can tell you exactly how we spent every hour on this same day three years ago. I can tell you how the final roller coaster started four days ago...three years ago. I remember making the call to my family; telling them to come right away. I remember listening to Tzaddi as he told his family to get on the next plane. Here's a glimpse into our lives three years ago...and perhaps a glimpse into yours. Nikki (Rowan's daily nurse) Kate (Rowan's therapist) Cousin Quinn Aunt Carleen Auntie Delia (with Lucy in tummy) Nana Noni Jill Kristy Uncle Nate Poppy Tops Auntie Delia & Uncle Nick The Fat Nana
