Mimic Me

I try to be careful what I say around children, because they usually mimic very well. I never thought about the other things Brigham might mimic that I do or say. I find him doing things I do quite often. When he wants something from me he will say "how 'bout ..." I guess I say that to him a lot.

Yesterday I was hand mopping the floor and he came in and said "Mommy, how 'bout milk?" I told him to hold on a second while I finished what I was doing and he said "Hop up! How 'bout milk?". It amazes me the things they catch onto.

Journaling

I need to journal about some cute things Brigham has been doing and saying lately before I forget.

I am now three months pregnant, and for the past little while have been having morning sickness. Every time I am having one of these bouts Brigham follows me into the bathroom and asks "Mommy, ya okay?" with a very concerned face. I catch him occasionally in the bathroom taking his turn pretending to be sick and then flushing the toilet. I am afraid he is a little confused on the concept of the potty, do you sit on it or spit in it?

He says his name Bigbum, so funny.

The other day on our way home from church Brian had said something about Brigham being a sweetheart and Brigham looked at me and said, "Mommy sweet heart". My heart melted it was so sweet.

Brigham is leaning new words every day it seems like. His vocabulary increased this week to include apple pie and pumpkin pie.

Brigham has been such a joy to have in our family, and I am excited to have a new addition in June.
