Life Continues...

Life in the Briggs household has been up and down lately due to a teething 13 month old and a suddenly fussy 7 week old.  The latter has been more problematic as he has not allowed for much sleeping to occur, day or night (even when he's asleep at night, he somehow manages to be noisy and keeps me awake - we're working on remedying that situation).  So most of the time I am in survival mode, trying to make it to the next chance to catch a little sleep, but there are definitely beautiful, fun, and sweet moments to help balance out our current challenges:

Leah loves to drink out of the little silver cup her Grandma gave her when she was born.  The problem is we use it during her bath time to help rinse her off, so the water she uses it to drink is her own bathwater. And sadly, we pretty much let her do it. 

(there's no way to recreate in words the way she refills the cup every time, but I have to make a note of it so I don't forget...it's such a quick, jerky little stab at the water, and she's so proud every time she comes up with a full cup!)

Dallin is growing so quickly...he's become quite a chunky little baby.  We've retired all of his 0-3 month clothes, and his 3-6 month clothes are none too big for him (he probably won't even be able to wear some of them much longer!).  He has also been giving a lot more social smiles the last few days - such a rewarding milestone!!! Here he is at 7 weeks:

The outfit he is wearing here is one of Dave's from when he was a baby (I wish we had a picture of Dave in it!):

(Dallin was not at his best when these pictures were taken, but I do love his little pout!)
