Ash Wednesday

Last week Bright's godfather, Brian, came for a visit. He brought his light saber and Bright fell in love!

Bright seemed so grown-up in this vest. Have to love those thrift store finds.


Bright and his proud Papa. Bright has been so chatty lately since Andy has gone back to work. As soon as he opens the door after work, Bright can't stop saying Dadadadada.

We tried to take Bright to Ash Wednesday mass. We lasted until just after the ashes were given out. He wasn't misbehaving- just jabbering the whole time and wanting to walk/crawl up the aisle. We left after I got my ashes. Good thing too since there was freezing rain outside. Almost got excited about the possibility of a Snow Day, then remembered that every day is a snow day for those of us that are stay at homes!!

Bright is walking about 70% of the time now. He is pretty steady most of the time. He can toddle around, scoop up toys and keep on going. Pretty impressive. He is working on his first year molars now. we figure he'll be eating steak and corn on the cob for his birthday. Last night was not such great sleeping, but he did have eight and half hours straight the night before that. Who knows what keeps him up at times and why he sleeps better on other nights.
