We are lucky!

Below are Beckett's two month photos. His Aunt Flash took the pictures and created the slideshow. She is an excellent photographer!

First Sport Outing

Hangin' with the guys. Too bad I can't keep my eyes open.
How cute are my nephews? I love them like my own!

We went to play putt putt with Michele, Chris and the boys last weekend. Aidan and Ethan had a blast as did the adults. Ethan invented a new kind of game "Running and Putting." Beckett liked watching and cheering for mom for awhile but by the 12th hole he was sound asleep!

Baby giraffe escapes from zoo!


I caught him!








New mom mistake!

Well...Most of you know that Beckett has a had a hard time sleeping throught the night since about 13 weeks. At 8 weeks he was sleeping through the night and it stopped when I went back to work. Sometimes he was up 6-8 times from 12 a.m to 6 a.m. There were so many nights Bradley and I were both so frustrated. He would go to sleep and then wake up after 10 min. We would repeat this numerous times throughout the night. We just kept being thankful he was happy during the day. Finally after trying everything we could think of and asking advice from numerous people I listened to MommaSchelle (his aunt). She told me he was probably cold and I thought surely that's not it because that's too easy to fix. So after turning off the fan in his room, dressing him in his jammies and a sleepsack and covering his hands, Beckett is on his 5th night of sleeping through the night! Yipee!!!! I keep feeling guilty and asking myself why I didn't figure it out earlier when I was under covers and in flannel pj's when I slept in his room all those nights trying to get him to sleep for a longer than 10 mins at a time. Oh well! Here's a picture from the first morning after. I am sure he is saying "thank goodess that woman figured it out so I can finally get some good sleep!"

I love MommaShelle!


Last Sunday we took Beckett to Magic Springs with my family. Like most babies he LOVES being outside. There are so many new things for him to look at. He's started being more intersted in the camera then smiling because as soon as we hold the camera up he stops.

Bedtime



Beckett's so excited about getting ready for bed these days. Too bad he likes to wake up every couple of hours. (and he's not smiling when he wakes up!)

The day Beckett was born..










Beckett was born on Tuesday June 10, 2009 at 12:09am. It was my last day of work before summer break and it was the day I HAD to make it to so I could have a longer maternity leave. The two nights before I had been unable to sleep and had lots of back pain. I went to school and was pretty miserable but not sure if I wan in labor or not. My principal called Bradley and made a big scene but Bradley quickly came to pick me up and take me to the hospital. They checked me and my water had not broken but I was dialated to a 3 and having contractions. After walking around for an hour they admitted me and the fun began...
