Sleeping

One of our favorite things to do is to sneak into Beckham's room after he's gone to bed to look at him ... creepy? Nah.

He starts in the center of his crib and always ends up at the top, pressed against the bumper in some way or another. We love predicting what position he'll be in.





The last couple of months we put him in bed with Moxy (featured below). They are besties .. He hugs onto Mox & rolls over to one of his sides. He also balls up his blanket in his fist and sucks fiercely on it. When I get him after a nap he has usually soaked a good quarter of the blanket.

Baby Mum Mums

Beckham LOVES Mum Mums, but they make a MESS for his mum mum. (I'm lame, I know.)


He eats them by himself, but kindly leaves a thick coating of the most impossible-to-remove-goop so that I can be a part of the fun!


He loved his cousin Sofie's high chair so much that he had to copy her. Thanks Frofie!

Doin the worm ... backwards.

Beckham is SLOWLY getting more mobile. He really doesn't like being on his tummy, but we have started to force some tummy time everyday. We slacked for a few months.

When we put him on his tummy he gets his hind legs scrunched up and his booty in the air then pushes ... backwards! He doesn't move intentionally yet - like see a toy and scoot backwards for it - but hey, it's fun!

Whatever gets you from Point A to Point B, right?

Point A


Point B

I got my hair did.

Well I decided to mix it up a little and chop my hair! I was scared to death, but I am happy with the results. It's a fun summer cut ... (I know it's only March, but it is already summer weather here in Austin!)

I {heart} Jimmer.

We went to the BYU vs. TCU basketball game a couple weeks ago up in Fort Worth. We stayed the night before with Jarem, Camilla and their family. Like a fool I forgot to take pictures with them.

The next day we met a bunch of friends from Austin for lunch before we all headed to the game.



Beckham loved the game and was so happy in the bjorn we borrowed from my brother.





My brother Jarem & I.


And yes, I {heart} Jimmer.

Flip Flops

Beckham & his favorite toy.

Hiding

Where did Beckham go???



THERE he is!!!!!

Puffy

Beckham is too puffy to fit in his carseat when he has his jacket on ... he gets so mad!!

Big Boy

This big boy has started eating solids and it is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.



The first few nights I would describe as "force feeding", but then all of a sudden he started opening his mouth as the spoon approached, then swallowed like he knew what to do all along!

I totally teared up and was a little embarrassed and didn't want Brian to see me ... but I looked over and Brian was crying too! Ha ... our baby is just growing up too fast!

Cold cold cold in Texas

It got cold in Texas. Like cold I've never felt before. It was bone-chilling.

So ... I had to keep Beckham warm at night ... we had to improvise and turn his leg warmers into arm warmers. And yes he slept with mittens. It was THAT cold.

My Birthday

@ Dinner with my friends for my birthday! So fun!
