6 months

I cannot believe my baby is 6 months old already! He is growing and changing so much lately, it seems like he's learning something new every day. Just after he turned 5 months, he figured out how to roll over, and ever since then there has been a landslide of new things he's learned! He can hold his own bottle, stand for a long time if you hold his fingers, take out his binky and put it back in, move a toy from one hand to the other, and work to get something he wants that's out of reach. He is getting so close to crawling! He scoots and rolls everywhere. Some of the shenanagins he's gotten himself into so far have been pretty funny. I can't wait until he's really mobile... or maybe I can. We've also started feeding him solids. Yay! So far he's only had rice cereal and sweet potatoes since we just started, but he is loving it so far. He makes me laugh so much and he's definitely getting good at keeping me on my toes!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

It has been an exciting and hectic few weeks around our house. Beckett has experienced his first (and second) baseball games, his first swim in the pool, and his first go around with rice cereal all in the last little while. He has also learned some new tricks recently, such as talking -nonstop-, scooting on his stomach and on his back, holding his head up on his own, and he has mastered the art of flirting with all the neighborhood ladies. So it has been a pretty fun time around here to say the least. Here are a few pictures of our recent adventures...
As you can see, we've been having lots of fun around here, but this post would not be complete without mentioning mine and Beckett's all-time favorite silly Dad. He works so hard for our little family, and I'm so happy Beckett and I got so lucky. We both love you to death Matt. You are a great Dad to our crazy kiddo.

Yellowstone

We decided to venture up to Island Park with my parents and the camping bunch for the 4th of July holiday this year. It's something they do every year, but we've never gone with them and for some reason we were crazy enough to agree to take our 2 month old along and go up for the first time. And we're sure glad we did! Beckett decided to put himself on a schedule literally the day before we left. I was so worried about him keeping everyone up at night, especially since we were staying in my parents' trailer with my parents and 2 siblings, but it ended up working out amazingly! Beckett was an absolute angel for the trip, and I'm sure he loved all the attention from his Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle and Aunt, and anyone else who could get their hands on him haha. Here are a few pics from our travels:My Mom had the genius idea to get a pack and play before the trip. This is where Beckett slept at night and played during the day during the brief intervals he was not being held and adored haha. As you can see, the mobile was a success. Beckett and Grandpa - I love this picture! He's so conked out.My Boys - yes this shirt was a purchase meant for Yellowstone. It was worth it. So cute!Like I said, Beckett was an angel for our trip. Even the day we drove through Yellowstone all day, he mostly did this. Matt's parents took us to dinner for his birthday, and our waiter made Matt wear this lovely sombrero while he enjoyed his free dessert. It was hi-larious.

Blessing week




This is us on Beckett's blessing day. I found the cutest matching ties for Matt and Beckett, and I love how the pictures turned out. I wish I would have gotten a few of just Beckett, and a few of just him and his Dad, but it was cold out, and Beckett had had enough of the picture taking. Matt gave him a great blessing though, and it was such a special day. Even though there was craziness surrounding the lunch for 50 people at our tiny house, I think it's a day we'll both remember forever.

During the days after Beckett's blessing, we were lucky enough to hang out with some of Beckett's ourt of state cousins. We went swimming and had a BBQ for Sadie's b-day, and we had a great time catching up and spending time with all of Matt's siblings together. Matt and Sadie at the pool. I hope the kiddos had as much fun with Matt as he had playing with them!
I wish I had gotten a better picture of Beckett's suit! Obviously he didn't get in the water, actually he slept through the whole outing, but his little froggy full body swim suit was the best!
