my baby is growing up...

...so it really has hit me that Briggs is closer to being 1 year old than he is to a newborn. I am kind of sad about it. He has had a lot of first this week that are fun, here are a few of them.

• Clapping for Uncle Mark during his basketball game
• eating a butter and jam half sandwhich (he eats every last bit)
• eating yogurt melts like crazy (he loves them and so does Katelyn)
• trying so hard to crawl, he rocks back and forth a couple of times on his hands and knees.
• fighting over things with me and Katelyn. (remote, her sippy cup and whatever else he can get his hands on)
• has has become very determined and strong willed.
• but through it all he is still smiling like crazy, gums and all!.

I can't believe where the time has gone (7 1/2 months)...we love having Briggs as part of our family.
