Combover

Brighton is developing some bald spots. He has the normal one on the back of his head, but he also has one on the right side of his head. We're not sure why. We're not worried, but because he has so much hair, it is noticeable.

While I was gone getting groceries, Jon was watching Brighton. This is what I came home to.

Jon decided to get out a comb. Brighton's hair was combed for the first time that night. Jon decided he needed a part and a combover. The funniest part is that it actually works! The long hair on the top of his head really covers up the bald spot on the side of his head. Jon was quite impressed with his efforts.

Four Month Firsts

Brighton is four months old!

He's tons of fun, and we've had lots of "firsts" for him lately; it has been a blast.

Tough Decision

Brighton LOVES his baths, but he is now dealing with a decision that is REALLY FUN for us to watch.

He can't decide which is more fun:

1.) Kicking his legs and splashing himself

or

2.) The new addition: eating his feet

What a life, huh?

The New Normal

The combination our new little guy, Brighton, and going back to school has brought about the new normal that we are in the process of adjusting to. And I thought we were busy before.
I have to say...so far so good. I have little to no free time, but I do feel somewhat in control. Here's what our school days look like:

5:40 am - Lindsay wakes up.
6:00 am - Jon wakes up.
6:45 am - Brighton wakes up.
7:00 am - Brighton eats.
7:15 am - We leave for daycare or she arrives at our house.
3:00ish pm - Lindsay arrives home from school or picks up Brighton.
3:30 pm - Brighton eats.
4:00 pm - Play with Brighton, return phone calls, answer emails, do housework, plan dinner, etc.
5:30 pm - Jon gets home.
5:45 pm - Walk/Run (all three of us)
6:45 pm - Dinner
7:15 pm - Brighton's Bath
7:30ish pm - Brighton eats.
8:00 pm - Brighton goes to bed. We hopefully have one hour before Lindsay goes to bed to prepare for the next day. If we're lucky we might be able to watch a little TV.
9:00 pm - Lindsay showers.
9:30 pm - Lindsay goes to bed.

If we've neglected you dear friends and family, we're so sorry. Maybe now you can see what we've been up to. I'm sure it will be much easier in the near future, but it's taking a lot of effort to maintain at this point.

The weekends are priceless, but they must come to an end. Here comes another week, and this one will be five days - yikes.
