10 months really?

Today I say "10 months really?" because you would think at 10 months I should have a happy fun baby but 90% of the time he cries and is grumpy. Has anyone else had a baby like that? I feel like all I hear is "my baby is cute, and happy and content and easy and blah and blah and blah" the opposite of Brigs. lol Is it ok for him to be so ornery? I feel like no one believe us about his orneryness but I wish you could all be a fly on my wall for a day. Regardless of his attitude his face sure is cute and I want to kiss it off all day long. I only wish it would make him stop crying! ;)

Here are 10 things about our Brigy man at 10 months!
1.He is kind of a picky eater. He thinks he needs like a 5 course meal. He only eats about half of anything you give him but he is still hungry. His favorite foods are peas and black beans.

2. He stands up to EVERYHING and thinks he is so big. He is even trying to let go and stand on his own.
3.He laughs at just about anything Koen does. My favorite is in the car when they are both just cracking up.
4. He loves his little tongue. He loves to stick it out and click it. (has been able to click it since 7 1/2 months)

5. He is a speed crawler. He darts for the bathroom and pantry doors anytime they are open, just cause they are "off limits"
6. He has started taking an interest in the stairs, and has no regard for turning around...time for a gate!
7. He gives the biggest cheeses to everyone! If you give him the time of day he is willing to thank you for it! :)
8. He is a MAJOR mamas boy
9. He constantly makes a laughing/whining noise. Annoying but also cute.(Whine until you look then laugh.)
10. He can finally say "ma ma"yahoo.

Love you lover face.

Hoppy Easter!

For Easter this year we had a very festive week. Koen did an egg hunt at school and we did one with some friends the week before. On Friday before Easter we did an egg hunt with some of the neighbors and my sister was in town to go with us to that. B of course slept through it(he woke up after) but Koen enjoyed it. That night we had a birthday party for my niece Lydia who just turned one.
We were having some serious car issue (good ol green didn't want to start) So my mom and dad came and picked me up so I could spend the day and night over there. Sunday morning we had our usual conference breakfast mixed with a little Easter day festivities. Phil had to work so it was nice to spend the day with my fam. We ended with dinner at my brothers! A great weekend with lots of family!

Easter and Conference were more than Koen could handle. He passed out mid day!

St Patty's Day!

 I normally look forward to each holiday and get excited about them, not sure if things have just been busy and this is just one more thing to do or what?!?! Regardless we mustered up a little fun!
