Not a whole lot to report this time. Lets see, Brighton has been so sensitive to light all this time and he refused to open his eyes any time that we took him outside until last week. Now he is starting to look at the world around him when we take him outside. We are trying to get in more "tummy time" as well. We learned how to use the sling/carrier thingy. We were practicing today. He liked it. Dad or mom has yet to "wear" Brighton out in public though. The Dr said that him being in the carrier will help his head to shape up normally. Since babies sleep on their backs these days, this is so important.He is still having some gas pains and spitting up constantly (this is why he is always wearing a bib) but has his happy moments usually in the morning time. He does not love baths, but is usully happy right after one, which is nice! We are still trying the acid reflux meds. We went to the Dr. yesterday. Brighton weighs 12 pounds and 6 ounces. Everything looked good. He still has some baby eczema, so she gave us a presciption for that. Other than that, and the above, Brighton is good! He is a sweet pea.
Spring is here and the weekends are starting to fill up! We have birthday parties, special holidays, and lots of friends and family visits coming up!!
We spent Saturday celebrating Poppi's birthday. Brighton got his 1st taste of Baygents Beach but he promtly fell asleep! 
What have we been up to the past couple of weeks? Lets see, Stephanie came to visit us last Friday. We had a great time, and Jason and I met up with she and Patrick Saturday night, as well as Craig and Kelly. This weekend marks the beginning of Race Week or Race Weeks in Charlotte. Normally we would avoid all race areas as the traffic is crazy, but for the past 5 years, Jason and I have gone to a work affiliate of Jason's Carolina Restoration's gigantic tailgate party at the All-Star's Race. We have gone to the race in the past and let me just say this is the only Nascar race I prefer to go to, because they are short and can hold my interest. ONe thing is for sure, we always have a great time at the tailgate.
It is a family type of affair with plenty of fun, a huge RV, and lots of good food, drinks and people. This year, at 1st we thought that maybe Jason would just go, but then decided maybe we could go as a family. Glad that we did. We didn't stay long but long enough to let everyone meet Brighton and for us to have a taste of a good time!!
Here are some pictures from the day. Brighton was in good spirits!!
We really enjoyed our Saturday. Tommy and Emily's daughter Lakyn celebrated her 1st birthday. We went to her birthday party in Tega Cay. What a fun time!! We saw a bunch of Jason's oldest friends and their children. Ha, it was quite an experience to go and see all of the people that we used to hang out with just a couple of years ago and now to be with them again and add in all of our babies! Anyway, it was really good to see everyone. Had a great time. The weather was nice out on Lake Wylie, and there was a breeze. We got to visit with good friends and family today and it was fun. 
On a better note, he has been smiling and almost laughing sometimes. It is pretty cute. His little neck is so strong and he can lift it up and look all around. It is really impressive as far as baby accomplishments go, or at least the ones that we know about, which are very limited, but still. Gaining weight and eating like a champ! We go back to the Dr. late this week and will find out his weight. If he is not to shy about it I will post it next time. I will try to post more often, so try and keep up!
