Getting bigger...

I can't believe how fast they grow. This little guy has gained a pound a week...wow! We have had a lot of requests for more pictures of Beckham. And although it is naptime and I too should be sleeping I couldn't resist! Enjoy!

4th of July...

Our days lately...

Our days lately seem like they should be nights and our nights seem like they should be days. I had forgotten that miserable period of trying to get a newborn on a good nightly schedule and how that changes day to day (add a toddler to the mix and it is even more miserable)! He is sure cute though so you can't get too upset when he is wide awake at 3-4 in the morning just wanting to be held and loved. I am sure though that Kaden is wondering why his mom is falling asleep with whatever quiet time she can find and doesn't have the energy for coloring, trucks, trains and horsie rides all day long!

The 3 R's

So lately I am all about the 3 R's...I wish those R's were only two R's and I could say we were getting lots of rest and relaxation however that is not so. I mean the reduce (not with diapers of course), reuse and recycle. My husband likes to recycle but laughs at what I try to reuse. Take this shirt that Chris is wearing in the next picture for example. Love the shirt, one day however it got some cleaning solution and a few small bleach spots on it. Chris won't wear anything that has a slight flaw, hole, scratch ect. He was going to throw out this perfectly nice looking shirt (that was NOT a steal of a deal from Nordstrom!)
He laughed when I said how about I make it into another shirt. One for Kaden and if we have a girl I will make a dress with the fabric on top and black on the bottom and if we have a boy they can have matching shirts. Chris LAUGHED again (I am the queen of unfinished projects but it is a nice thought right?) And when I looked at Nordstrom the toddler Ben Sherman shirts they were like 40-50 dollars so I can have a homeade one for free! So last night I finally sewed the pocket on Kaden's shirt I felt a little overwhelmed by this project with no pattern and all. We will see if in all my free time I get Beckham's done while he is small enough to wear it...? The idea of making two shirts was maybe a bit ambitious but one is better than none right!?

Not totally professional but Kaden looks cute in it and it was going to be sitting in a dump or DI somewhere so I am glad we got a little more life out of the shirt!

Snips & Snails & puppy dog tails...

I love my little boys. I am suprised at how much Beckham ressembles Kaden when he was a baby. This week has been a lot of fun. Kaden is much more attentive and aware of Beckham than I thought he would be. He is ALWAYS wanting to kiss, hold and rock his little brother which is cute but also a little nerve racking. We have had a wonderful time with both the grandma's I am sure Kaden is going to have a rough time adjusting to a normal bedtime, not having a hotdog and chocolate milk at every meal and having a constant play mate. He has had a great time and I can tell he loves when the grandma's come to play. Thanks mom and Marianne for making these past couple weeks so special for us. We have had such a great time and it has been nice to be able to rest and get ready for the long tiring weeks ahead.

We have a name!!!

We finally picked a name... Beckham Scott. We love this little guy and it has been such an incredible amazing as well as draining week. Beckham is such a good little baby he hardly cries and he lets me have three hour stretches at night between feedings so I only feel a little hung over in the day! It is such a difference from Kaden's two hr feedings at night. That will all probably change when grandma leaves...right? Kaden is so cute with him he loves to hold, rock and kiss his brother Beckham. We had our first pediatrician appointment yesterday and he is back to birthweight...yeah!
