He has inherited a love of all things Apple from his uncle and dad. He has taken two trips to the Apple store with my mom. He plays on the ipads at the kids table and gets super excited. It was so funny to watch him play this puzzle game for the first time. When he completed a puzzle he would raise his hands and cheer. He caught the attention of a few other customers who were quite entertained by watching him and seeing the look of pure joy on his face.
He is a great big brother. He is so gentle with Lexi and loves to make her laugh. Occasionally he likes to wave his bear or lion in her face and roar, and she likes it.
He is becoming quite opinionated about things, including the food he eats. He used to eat whatever we gave him, but now he wants a say in the matter.
He likes to wear dad's hats. Apparently he likes to sag his pants sometimes as well. He is talking more and more, and we are actually understanding some of it. He has mastered some very important words including: tractor, popcorn, mine, more, cookie, George, nack (snack), and bach (binki).
He loves to color/draw, and even more he loves to ask me to draw things for him. Some of his favorites are elephants, lions, sheep, cows, and pigs.
But occasionally he tries to get me to be a bit more advanced and asks for Mike Wazowski, Woody, Buzz, or Dad. One day he went through a Muppet phase and kept pointing out different Muppets for me to draw.
It reminds me of a stanza from a poem my grandma wrote:
If I said I was an artist,
The truth would be quite tainted,
But think of all the lovely pictures
You and I have painted.
I love this little guy so much. He is the greatest friend to have around. He always wants to play with me and hang out with me. He thinks my drawings and songs are the greatest. He gives me hugs throughout the day and occasionally comes up and squeezes my cheeks while he gives me a big kiss. He gets a huge smile on his face when I go into his room in the morning and blows me kisses when I leave his room at night. I am so incredibly grateful for this little boy. I can't believe how blessed I am to have him in my life.

Love this little guy and love this post!
Great post. It made me smile all over again just picturing all these things he does. Happy Birthday Brigham from Gumby and Gigi.
Those are all great pictures. My favorite is the one where he is entertaining Lexi. Priceless!
