happy halloween

As you can see, Beckham enjoyed his first halloween.

little things at 7 weeks

Beckham is now a whole 7 weeks old.  Goodness sakes! Time has flown by.  It is amazing to me just how much he is changing every day.  Just for the sake of keeping record, here are some of the little things that Beckham is doing.

One of the many facial expressions of Beckham.  I love this little expression he does.

*Beckham is a growing boy!  We are growing out of some of his clothes and into others.  It is quite exciting.  The problem we have run into is that Beckham is out growing the sleeper faster than anything else.  Not because he is filling them out or growing to long for them.  His feet don't fit in the footies.

* Beckham loves to talk to Dad.  Jason can just tell him anything and Beckham smiles and talks back to him.  Simply darling to watch.

* Speaking of talking, Beckham tries to talk with his binkie in.  This generally happens at bath time when I take him out of the tub.  He will yell at me (bath time is so fun!) and I put the binkie in his mouth to calm him down while I get him dressed for bed.  While he sucks on the binkie he groans and mumbles to me until he has his sleeper on.  I guess he just want me to know that I really spoiled his fun by taking him out of the tub.  It is pretty funny to watch each night.

* Beckham and I read books every day.  Our current (and only) reads are I Love You Through and Through, Hickory Dickory Dock: and Other Nursery Rhymes, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See.  We started reading these the week he came home.  Every time I read to him, he sure knows what is happening.  He looks at me and the sometimes the pictures on the book and seeks to try to absorb every word.  I personally love it.

* Beckham is a good eater.  He eats about 6 times a day.  He usually likes to have his hands up on his chest while he eats, resting on the bottle, or holding onto my fingers.

* In general, Beckham likes to have his hands up by his face all the time.  Even when we swaddle him for sleeping, he preferrs to have his hands near his face.

* Sleeping.  We are now up to about 4 naps a day and he is sleeping about 5-6 hours at night.  He still sleeps in his bassinet and does not like the crib (no matter how hard I try).  He is a good little sleeper though.  My favorite part of the day is waking Beckham up in the morning.  I love his morning stretches. So cute.

 

* I sing songs to Beckham and somehow they are the same ones over and over again.  Beckham enjoys I am a Child of God, My Heavenly Father Loves Me, and I Love to See the Temple.

* We have a picture on our wall of Jesus.  Whenever I feed him in that room, Beckham stares so hard at it.  I don't know if he can see who it is or it is just the contrasts of the wall and picture.  Either way, I think it is sweet.

* Beckham is now smiling!  I LOVE it and think it is the cutest thing!

 

We sure love this little boy and enjoy watching him grow each day.

halloween party

Beckham experienced his first Hall Halloween Party this past weekend.  What fun!  Most of his cousins came all dressed up and we had a grand time.  Grandma prepared some fun games and activities for the kids.  We had doughnut competitions, mummy wraps, and a craft.  Maybe Beckham will be more involve next year.  He slept through most of it, but Mom and Dad played and enjoyed themselves.  Beckham is sure blessed to have so many fun cousins. It really was a great time to be with family.

 

 Here are the snap shots of the party.

 That's all until next year...

blessing day

Beckham was blessed today by his dad.  It was so special and wonderful to have family all around.  Thanks to everyone who made time and sacrafice to come.  We sure appreciate the support we have from our families.  It was a wonderful day.  I have tons of pictures on my camera from the day, as I should for a day like today.

I believe that this was seriously the earliest Beckham and I have been ready for the day.  I was right pleased with myself to just be dressed and out the door in time!  What an accomplishment!  

We had just about everyone from our family with us today.  The grandparents were there.

And most of Beckham's uncles, aunts, and counsins.

 We also had Great Grandma Hall and Great Grandma Richards with us for this special day.

 It was so fun to have Beckham see all of his family.  

By the afternoon, Beckham was exhausted....and Mom and Dad were a little bit tired too.  We had a good nap, and now Beckham has his second wind.  Let's hope we are not in for a long night!

We sure enjoyed the day with everyone.  Thanks again for coming!

1 month

I can't believe it, but this little guy is already one month old!  He is growing so fast.  Mom and Dad are just so happy to have this little one in our home.  What a blessing.

Beckham's first trip

We took Beckham on his first trip to Burley this weekend.  We were all so excited to see all our family there.  Beckham was completely spoiled and loved having everyone hold and pay attention to him.

It was quite a treat for everyone because Uncle Neal and Aunt Connie came to visit from Maine.  We had some much fun seeing them and playing games with our cousin Michael.  We played SkipBo and Guitar Hero while Jason and I were there and had a good time. 

They even brought delicious Maine lobster with them!  Thank you, thank you!!   I love this picture with Kayson.  He was not too sure about the lobsters.  So funny.

All this fun can wear a boy out!  Beckham slept a full 5 hours the night we got home.  This was quite a blessing for Mom and Dad.  We hope to get back up Burley soon!
