3 Years + 4 Months Old – October 14th, 2009

Oh goodness, where to begin!  We had such a busy summer and you are up to so much these days! I’ll start with our annual trip to Captiva and Sanibel Islands.  We had a wonderful time the last two weeks in July at these places.  The first week was spent on Captiva with the bulk […]

3 Years + 1 Week Old! – June 18, 2009

Dear Brighton, Last week you turned 3! We can’t believe it. Where has the time gone? Where is my little baby that never crawled, was a pro at using baby sign language, had pudgy cheeks, and was shy around anyone but us? I’ll tell you. He’s that 3 year old running faster than the adults […]

35 1/2 Months Old – June 1, 2009

Dear Brighton, The months are just flying by now. You are growing in leaps and bounds every day, and it is getting harder to keep up 😉 Last week, you and I took a trip up to Indiana to visit your Grandma Pat and to see Uncle Donnie. He has now been diagnosed with having […]

34 1/2 Months Old – April 24th, 2009

Dear Brighton Well, yet again it has been too long since I’ve updated your journal  You are doing spectacularly well these days and say the cutest things just about every moment of the day. For this entry I think I’m going to list some events that we’ve had, and catalog some of your adorable […]

31 1/2 Months Old – January 27th, 2009 – “It’s okay, honey!”

Quite a few months ago, you started calling us “Honey”.  You mimic what we say, of course, and so when we say, “Come on, Honey. Let’s go” you often times respond “Okay, honey”. It is very, very cute and we think it is so endearing every single time you say it. Last month, your Daddy […]

30 Months Old (2 1/2) – December 15th, 2008

Well, the last time I caught you up was just before Halloween and I was all worried that you wouldn’t wear your costume…I shouldn’t have been 😉 Halloween was a complete success and you had an absolute blast going around the neighborhood. You’d would walk up to the door, knock, holler “Hello, open a door!”, […]

28 1/2 Months Old – October 29th, 2008

Well, once again, the past few weeks since I wrote up your last update have flown by in a blur 😉  Probably the most notable event worth mentioning is the addition to your very first “big boy bed” to your room. A few weeks ago, Daddy and I decided that you were ready to move […]

27 Months Old – September 12th, 2008

Well, Mr. Brighton, you are 27 months old today! When I dropped you off at school today I had two of your teachers tell me separately that you are well on your way to being potty trained! Are you kidding me?  They said that you are just a couple of weeks away from going to […]

26 Months Old – August 12th, 2008

A couple/three weeks ago we went to Tortuga/Sanibel Island for our annual summer trip. You had a wonderful time. We were worried about the sleeping arrangements and the drive down, but you did fantastic on both fronts. To prepare I purchased about 40 new hotwheels, matchbox, and tonka cars and made you little gift bags.  […]

25 Months Old – July 17th, 2008

Yesterday was a pretty rough day for you, and by rough, I mean “physically” rough 🙂 Earlier in the week, you must have fallen down at school because you came home with huge, moon-shaped rug-burn/gash on your chin. Yesterday when I picked you up you had scratched the skin off and your chin was bleeding. […]
