All In One

I don't have a lot of time right now to do separate posts for each event, so I'm going to roll it all into one. Here's some things worth documenting

- Beck is seriously chubby, (and adorable), and right now on this day, a whopping 19.6 pounds.

- We had our first trip to the Urgent Care center when we had a little bath incident with the hot water...Beck's leg got a big fat blister. I won't take a picture.

- Our babe now eats solid foods! He eats his fruits and veggies (most of his veggies) like a champ, and that rice cereal is like his bottle on a spoon. mmmm....





- Beck loooves to play with his cousins. These were taken at a 'movie night'



- Easter happened! Wahoo! More time with cousins! Oh, and if you hadn't noticed, he sits up like a champ.



- This is how happy Beckham is, all of the time. You can't not get him to smile. In these photos he has a pretty gnarly cold, but you can't tell. :)


- On a non-Beck related note, Kyle got an awesome job that he started today. It's full time, and is relevant with his major in school, which is awesome. We will miss Daddy at home, but we couldn't be more grateful.

Ode to Vinny

I went and bought Vinny the week I found out I was pregnant. I picked him because he looked stubborn, and I was determined to keep him ALIVE. So many...ok all of the stupid beta fish I've had just killed over after the first week. This fish was going to prove to me I could take care of a baby. Silly, right? That was seriously what I was thinking when I bought him, though. Stupid Vinny really is just as stubborn as I thought he was... because seriously, he's still alive. It's been well over a year. Just last week Beck was sitting with dad, grabbed the fish bowl, and pulled it over. He started to cry because he was all wet, and Kyle went in to get Beckham into some clean clothes, with the fish still lying on the floor. Ten minutes later, he comes back, grabs Vinny, sticks him in a vase (the vase with my cute homemade flowers in it), and he starts swimming! He's seriously still alive after laying on the carpet for that long. I keep trying to figure out if there's some lesson for me to learn from this...who knows. Way to go, Vinny, you survived.

It's so nice outside!!!!

Yesterday Beck had his first experience playing OUTSIDE! He was so giddy and smiley, and I can't WAIT for summer to be here. I'm hoping this weather doesn't go away so that we can have many more of these fun experiences...so...please please sun, stay here!

P.S.!! Beckham has a new trick! He's been sitting up for about a week now (for long periods of time) and he is so excited about it. Since he's been just tiny, Beck has a funny thing where his head comes up off the ground like he's doing an extended crunch because he wants to sit up SO BAD and now he finally can, without any help from his Bumbo or Mom and Dad. He still can't go from laying down to sitting by himself yet, though, so the crunch lives on until then.

Another trick to document (no video for this yet...), on March 17th Beck rolled over from his tummy to his back. :)

Alright, so I know Beck doesn't talk yet but I swear his faces tell it all...I snapped these just after we got back inside...

"OK Mom, last picture."

"Are you kidding me right now?"

"You better stop"

"I'm just gunna play with this horse and pretend you aren't there"

"MOM, are you KIDDING ME"

"Can you believe this right now, lamb?"

"MOM!"
