2 months old

I am so ashamed of my self! I have totally neglected my blog.. and its the thing that means the most cause its my journal! I havent been posting alot cause its just much easier to upload pics to instagram and facebook right from my phone.. even though I am like the only one in the world that doesn't have a smart phone! I am goin to try and be better though.. since this is the only thing that matters and not fb ha

I cant believe Briggs is almost 2 months old. I feel like he has been here forever and at the same time I cant believe he is already here and 2 MONTHS OLD! He hasn't been weighed in like a month and a half so I am anxious for his appointment next week to see how much he has grown. He has been a great baby for the most part but definetly has his days... he has been pretty colickly lately and doesn't sleep that much which is weird for a newborn but then he will have days where he wakes to eat and then goes back to sleep... i don't know whats goin on.. and it could just be that i am still tryin to get use to having a newborn! Usually at night he gets the worst but Jake has quite the little bounce goin on and it always calms him right down..Thank goodness for daddies:) It probably is just cause Briggs is with me all day and he just needs his daddy. He has been so so smiley and it just seriously melts my heart every time he smiles at me.. He makes me feel so so special when he does. He smiled for the 1st time( well an acknowledged smile anyways and not the ones in his sleep) when he was 3 weeks old at my sister Camille. She was so happy about that:) I cant complain though cause he really is so so sweet and just has the sweetest spirit to him.

Things have been a little crazy with 2 kids. I cant even explain it and you will only know unless you have 2 kids.. If we go anywhere it I have to start gettin ready like 2-3 hours before. I try to time it so I can nurse him right before we go to.. The days seem to go by alot faster now which I love.. and I'm not tryin to wish the days away but I just love it when Jake comes home from work and everyone is pretty much happier:) If we go out of town it takes me all day to pack and then when we come back it takes me like 4 days to un pack enough to pack up again for the weekend ha.. The hardest thing yet has been tryin to figure out nursing and everything that goes with it cause I didn't with Paisley and the 2nd hardest thing has been when I am nursing him and then Pais wants something right then but I cant cause I'm nursing briggs and she just bawls until she gets what she wants.. mostly her sippy filled... but I think its good for her.. to learn patience! Some times I have tried to be wonder mom and help her while I nurse.. man its quite the sight.. but you gotta do what you gotta do! As much as nursing has been a challenge I have absolutely LOVED it! I cant believe I never went further with pais.. I nursed her for about 2 weeks and then pumped and fed her that for another month and then my milk eventually tried up.. I could never relax with her though enough for my milk to stay cause I was so so busy with drill team and stressed.. I really could have made it work but I just gave up so with Briggs I had no excuse not to give it my all and it has been so worth it.. I hope my milk can stay solid until he is a year.

We recently got family pictures and after viewing them I told Jake that I look super old.. and hes like well you have 2 kids you are old.. haha.. I guess I should still feel like I'm 20.. haha even though i am just 24.  So just a funny thing that I want to remember is just this morning I was workin out.. nothin to intense just more of a toning work out I was doin and Pais was copying my every move.. can I just tell you how hard it is to be doin push ups and she is gruntin and tryin her hardest to do what i'm doin and all i can do is just laugh haha I guess I will just be flabby forever! hahaha I need to have Jake record it one of these times cause its hilarious.

So posted above are his announcements and I am so happy with how they turned out! The front picture was takin by my good friend Sammy and it was funny cause we were at the pool in Park city and he was just layin on my laugh and she wipped out her camera and was takin pics of him and she snapped the one of him smiling and it is the cutest ever! I just had to use in even though I hadn't planned his outfit or really done his hair but it worked! And the back pictures I found off pinterest so I just took those pics and then Jake put it all together for me.. One thing I forgot to put was how much he weighed which is almost a must on a birth announcement haha woops! Don't you just wanna kiss his cute face all day long?? Me and pais sure do:)
