Briggs: 6 months

Briggs might be our wild child. 
 Looking a little less wild before church. 
Meeting Biju Thomas, founder of the Transformation India Movement.  This was such a special morning for Eli & Knox.  They pray for the children in Bihar, India before every meal. 

This sweet boy is six months old.  I cannot believe how much he has grown and how active he has become in the past month.  He is trying so, so hard to crawl and has mastered a number of yoga positions.  He is eating solids three times a day and weighing it at almost exactly 20 pounds.  He has a temper that has never shown up in his older brothers.  We can always tell when he is getting tuned up in his crib, we can hear his feet begin pounding the mattress in frustration.  He loves his Daddy a lot, more than I remember the older two favoring him.  He was sleeping soundly through the night right before turning six months old and has now been battling ear infections for more than two weeks.  We have already been referred for tubes. 

We are having so much fun with these little boys.  Tonight, I could hear something clanging through the dryer cycle and it took us a while to determine it was something in Eli's shorts.  Jerrold's first guess was a metal revolutionary war soldier...he was right.  It is ALL boy around here ALL the time.
