"Cole Slaw" (Uncle Chris) and "Cod Fish" (Cousin Jax) came for their summer vacation and spent some quality time with our boy who they now call "B Dodge." During an overnight diaper changing/feeding session while Brighton was crying Jax woke up and said, "He's making me nervous!" Jax is going to be a great cousin and I'm sure he will show my son how to rock out to Queen, play lightsabers, and do "flip ups" (his very own unique exercise move).

Another nickname Brighton earned during the Dodds Boys' visit is "Gee" (hard G) because when the boy is REALLY hungry his cries sound like "Um Gee, Um Gee" while his face gets red and scrunchy, what Chris calls his "angry raisin" face.

We've been a little behind on our blogging these days...Brighton has been enjoying spending time meeting new family members on Cape Cod and even managed to dip some toes into the frigid Atlantic! Our little boy is almost 12 lbs now and has grown about 2 inches since birth.
