Brighton 3 Weeks Old

Here's our little guy. He's getting bigger each day. He's also more alert when he's awake which is fun.
I may not be the best mom for saying this, but I really think babies are the most
UN-photogenic beings on this earth. It is next to impossible to get a picture that is truly photo worthy until they are a few months old. But for posterity sake, I've got to have a few of him now while he still has the zombie stare most of the time. So here he is...so cute while I was taking these pictures, but none of them turned out as cute as he really looked. Oh well... the joys of newborns.
He's still pretty adorable, even if the pictures don't prove it!

Identity Crisis

So as you can see, we've got a little bit of an identity crisis going on at our home right now.
As you can see beautiful little Avery in her very "girly" dress looked so cute on Sunday. When we got home from church, she turned into Lara Croft... She was running around the house going "boom, boom, boom" and chasing Brian and Kaden with a gun!! (Just when you think they are going to be so petite and feminine)


Now for Kaden...
Here's the thing. I don't usually enjoy painting my sons fingernails, but Avery was getting her weekly manicure (see... she's really girly most of the time). And Kaden came in and said, "I sure wish my fingers were red". I tried to explain that only girls got their fingernails painted but he continued to tell me how much he loved red. So we decided to give it a shot. So there we were... Kaden sitting on the table, me painting MY SONS fingernails and toe nails (Oh dear)... As he was about done, I told him he couldn't touch anything because his fingers were still wet. The first thing he said, "But mom... how will I push my dump truck?"
At least I know he's still mostly boy. Infact, after he had the nail polish on for a few hours I think he realized it wasn't all that cool and he wanted it taken off! Thank goodness!!!
