Nights Out on the Town

Beckham does not only love tummy time, but loves story time as well. We've gotten in a routine of reading before bedtime and I think it really helps Becks relax! I love how Becks is smiling at GeGe in this pic... too cute!


GeGe was here this weekend to help while Brian had a boys night out on Friday and we had our first date night since Beckham was born on Saturday. It was so nice to get out of the house and know our little guy was in good hands.



The reason we went out on Saturday was because one of my dearest friends, Melissa was getting engaged! Her boyfriend, Michal and I were in cahoots together to plan this special night. We felt so honored to be apart of their night and couldn't be happier for them! Congrats Melissa and Michal!

1 Month

How is it possible that Becks is already 1 month old?!? I seriously can't believe it! Now I understand when parents say, they grow up so fast! Beck has grown so much in the past couple weeks. I can't believe how much he's changed. We took him to his 1 month check up... He weighed 9 lbs 3 oz and 21 inches long. The doctor was pleased with his stats and said he's right where he should be!

Beck has gotten so good at lifting his head up, I can't believe how strong his neck muscles are.

I think he's gotten so good at lifting his head because he LOVES laying on his tummy. Tummy time is his favorite thing by far!

Watching Tatum, our boxer get familiar with Becks has been pretty funny. She absolutely loves Beckham. She's always likes to lay near him, no matter where he is. We usually don't let Tatum get this close because when she hears noises, she freaks out and wants to see what she's missing out on. However, we let her check him out and then she got off the couch.


Beck has also grown fond of his activity mat. He loves to just lay there and watch the toys above him and chit chat with them. Recently, he has found himself in the mirror. It's so fun to watch him be amazed and ahh at his reflection.

We had a great surprise! My Uncle Bill was in for a quick trip to Manhattan from Tahoe and decided to swing by on his way to the airport. We were so happy he could stop by and meet Beckham. Uncle Bill is the only relative that has seen all the new babies in our family, Beckham, Indie, Scarlett and London (my cousin, Lindsay and Jenni's new babies).What a lucky guy! We literally had a baby boom in our family... My cousin Jenni had London in May, Jessa had Indie in July, and Lindsay and I had our babies in August (about a week apart). Our family had a busy summer to say the least. Haha. I'm looking forward to watching the babies grow up together!


Well, my little handsome Beckham it's been such a joy watching you grow and change. Your dad and I love you so much and have enjoyed every single minute, including the sleepless nights! I can't wait to see what you do next. We love you Becks!

Becks First Trip to Manhappy

We ventured over to Manhattan last weekend with Becks for our 1st family mini vaca. It was great to see our family and friends and introduce Beckham to some extended family. He met his Great Grandma, Grammy and Great Grandpa, Gramps. It was so important to me that they get to meet Beckham and spend some time with him while we were there. I love spending time with Grammy and Gramps.




Of course we spent time with his Auntie Jessa, Uncle Scottie, and Cousin Indie. It seems like Becks is always asleep and Indie is wide awake when they're around each other. haha! I'm sure that will change with time. I seriously can't wait to see Becks play with his cousins. This picture makes me giggle because Beckham always seems to have his arm in the air. So, now it's a running joke that he has a question or is playing "Mother, May I?"

We also took Becks to his first tailgate at the KSU football game. He did great, hardly made a peep. We kept him in the stroller the whole time cause it was pretty hot out. I can't wait for him to get a little bigger and carry him in a baby bjorn. This weekend we will venture to our first KU football game and introduce him to our tailgating traditions!

Becks loves sleeping with his mama and daddy.....


There's nothing better than taking a snooze with our little guy!!

Speaking of naps... I love this picture of Becks. He always looks so peaceful when he sleeps. What a cutie!!
