Our Life Lately.....

Well life as been busy lately so I decided to make it easy on myself and make one big blog post about what we have been up to lately. They are a couple of big moments that I will put in their own seperate posts but this is pretty much what we have been up to lately!

Summer is here and so is swim time. This is the first time Beckett actually enjoyed swimming!

 And this is they way that Mia likes to swim...with her pink star tube. She actually does quite well getting around the whole pool with this little tube!

 Sleeping in on a Saturday....hogging all of daddy's space!

 Splash Pad with friends...Beckett and Michael playing together!

 and Mia and Lili playing together!

 Beckett first time in the splash river at Town Square!

 BBQ's with family and roasting marshmallows. Mia loved this!

 Hanging out at Granny Carol's House and watching some cartoons!

 Mia got her hair cut for the first time! She thought she was such a big girl!

 Beckett's first ice cream sandwich! I think he liked it!!!

 Feeding the ducks...Mia liked that they would get so close!

 Beckett's first time feeding the ducks...he wasnt so sure about giving the bread to the ducks he wanted to eat it himself!

Summer time seems to be so much fun...but so busy!!! We can't wait for all the rest of our summer adventures!



Beckett is 8 months old

Happy 8 Month Birthday Beckett...5/24/11

Weight: 20 pounds 1 ounce

Length: 27 7/8 inches

Beckett is such a cute funny baby. Instead of crying in the middle of the night he kind of growls at me through the monitor until I come and get him. He still doesn't sleep through the night but he will eventually get there! He has six teeth and likes to bite with them...I am trying to figure that one out! He also likes to pinch..another thing I am trying to figure out! He can now sit up on his own and is also trying to learn how to crawl. It wouldn't surprise me if he was crawling by his nine month birthday- time to get baby proofing! He WILL NOT touch baby food. He wants to feed himself and does really well so I let him. He eats pretty much anything and loves food! His favorites are bananas and spaghetti! He gets jealous whenever we eat in front of him! Lately he has been saying what we thinks sounds like the word "up". I am kind of thinking that he knows what he is saying because he usually says up when he is on the floor, in the highchair, or in his carseat! Overall Beckett is a really good baby and I can't wait to see more of his sweet personality!

We Love You Beckett!

Mia's 1st Dance Recital

Mia had her first ballet recital! She was so cute! She acted all shy when they brought her out on stage and then she warmed right up and did her dance almost perfectly! I love watching her learn and grow! Way to go Mia!

Mia backstage waiting for her turn on stage!

Afterwards with her flowers for doing such a great job!
