What a Difference a Month Makes

I can't believe my baby is already a month old.  He arrived September 17 after 20 hours of labor.  We were so happy to finally have him here.  He spent 3 days of the first week of his life in this bed.  He made such a cute little glowworm, but he absolutely hated it by the end.  

By the end of his first week he was less yellow and we got rid of his tanning bed in time for him to enjoy his first football game with his dad.

We had lots of visitors starting with Julia and Jake for a week.  We absolutely loved having them here to play with us.  Jake wasn't quite sure what to think of Brigham but we were able to get a few pics of them together with some bribing.

There are so many reasons why I love it when my sister comes to town.  One of the many is that we share a love of photography so we love to take lots of photos and spend time editing them together.  Of course Brigham was the subject of most of our shots for the week, and we managed to get some great ones.  These are a just a few of my favorites out of the many we took (and a few are being saved for the baby announcement that I'm going to get out any day now).

We were lucky to have more visitors in the next few weeks and Brigham got to meet both of his great grandpas.

We've started to go on a few outings and went to the pumpkin patch over fall break to pick our own pumpkins (for our pumpkin carving contest) and try the donuts and ice cream.  Brigham slept through most of it, but we did get a picture when he was awake and imitating the kinds of faces his dad loves to make in pictures.

After a few weeks we managed to get some shots of our new little family, thanks to my sister-in-law Becca.



We can't believe how fast he is already growing and changing in just a short month.  We love him so much and are so grateful that he is finally here.

Best Post YET! Hooray for baby Brigham and lots of beautiful pictures! I laughed out loud at the pumpkin one with all your funny faces. And Brig's face at the pumpkin patch is too funny! Wish we were there to spend halloween with the little munchkin. Can't wait to see his costume!

Enjoy each day. And take lots of pictures. They all go by so swiftly and then you will have posts like this that will last forever.
