Briggs Monster: 3 Months & Christmas

Briggs you are now 3 months old and already have more nicknames than Logan, the "Doo-Doo" Dog!! Monster, Briggs Man, Booger, Boog-Boog, Goober, Goobie-Goo, Sugar, Shnukums, and Shug-shug are just some of the ones daddy and I use the most!


Watching football with Daddy

You have been sleeping longer at night, most nights you sleep 6 or 7 hours and occasionally hit the record breaking 8.5 hours! Mommy really appreciates the rest!! You are packing on the pounds and are now up to 14lbs, 4oz. I think right now you are going through a little growth spurt as you always seem hungry!! You are getting really good at sitting up now, your head control is amazing!! You continue to love to stand up and are starting to get yourself pretty darn excited about it too! All in all you are a very happy baby and rarely cry. The only time you seem to get upset is when we've pushed you a little past the point of being hungry or sleepy and then you can really put up quite a fuss!!

Sitting up

Dad's first solo bath

You have continued to be very verbal, cooing and making all sorts of noises! You even have started to mimic us when we stick our tongues out. You are determined to get your thumb into your mouth and you are SOOOOOOO HAPPY when you get it there and are able to use it to doze off! We keep trying to encourage the pacifier, but I'm not so sure you're into it. You not only love to put your hands in your mouth, you also are starting to use them more. You love to bat at your toys, rub your hands together, grab your blanket, my shirt and my hair. I have noticed lately how much your hands have grown too!!

Sucking that thumb

During our Christmas vacation, you got to meet your Grandad Harold. You really thought he was great and didn't take your eyes off of him all throughout dinner!

Meeting Grandpa

We celebrated your 3-month birthday on Christmas day and it was a heck of a long day for all of us, but especially for you. I'm not so sure that you actually enjoyed Christmas, but I promise next year will be so much more fun!! You got so many toys and clothes from our family and friends who love you so much!! So many toys that Grammy and Grandpa had to come up after Christmas to bring the rest that wouldn't fit in our car!! Right now your favorite toys are the "jungle gym" play mat and your "coo-coo-clock" from Granny Brenda. When you are on the mat you just kick and play and the coo-coo-clock seems to just mesmerize you!! I'm sure it won't be long until you start enjoying all your other toys too!!
