This One Is For Grandma

Today Beckett's Grandma came over to play. She wanted to hear him laugh. We did not realize that all we needed was Ellie the Dog to make him laugh.

Weekend Trip to Portland

This weekend we took another road trip to Portland. We had a great time, as you can see by Beckett's face. He loves going to his Nana's house! Beckett's Uncle Eric turned 17 while we were there.
During the birthday party, Beckett made a discovery...he can get his toes into his mouth!! Fun times!!

He is sure flexible. :) On Saturday night Grant's brother, Brett, invited us to his Murder Mystery party. Brett wrote the script and then invited 20 friends to come and act out the parts. At the end of the night we had to try and solve the murder mystery.

Here is a picture of Grant and I in our costumes. Grant was Chief Swifteye and I was the mayor's wife, actually his widow since he was the one killed. A side note: Neither Grant nor I were the killers!Beckett taking his first piano lesson from his dad.

Summer BBQ At The Couch's House

While we were in Portland, we had the pleasure of going over to the Couch's house for a BBQ. I met Hannah when we were both nannies in the Hamptons one summer. We traveled across the country before meeting, but now we both live in the same state! Here is a cute picture of Beckett and I with the Couch Clan. Aren't their kids adorable?! Kelly cooked up some great burgers that day. Kelly's motto is "Go bloated or go home" and we certainly did so.
The Lunde's :)

Hannah giving Beckett lots of snuggles. He LOVED every minute of it!

Beckett's Baptism

While we were in Portland, Beckett was baptised. Grant's cousin, Pastor Travis, performed the baptism at his church out in Damascus. Here is Beckett looking cute in his baptism outfit. We were excited to have my cousin, Tera, and Grant's brother, Brett, be Beckett's godparents.The five of us :)Here is an action shot of Pastor Travis and Beckett. Beckett let out one little squeal and then he was quiet. I think he was confused and thought it might be bath time! He loves it when Grant washes his hair at bath time and as soon as Travis touched his head he was quiet! :)Beckett had a lot of special family come to the baptism. Here are just a few of the people!

Here he is relaxing after a hard morning work. He was happy to be with family!Grant was a proud daddy. Here he is filming Uncle Eric on his new camcorder.

4 Month Check-Up

Today Beckett had his 4 month check-up, but actually he is 4 1/2 months now. He now weighs 17 lbs. 4 oz. and is in the 75th percentile for weight. He is 26 3/4 inches tall and is in the 90th percentile for height. We were told several times by the doctor and nurse that we have a healthy, big boy!

When I was pregnant the doctor detected a dropping of his heart beat, every 20 beats. We were told it would most likely clear up on its own. Well today the doctor discovered that it is gone! We feel very blessed to have a healthy baby!

Look At My Feet!

At the beginning of the month, Beckett found his toes. Ever since then he has been playing with them! :)

Happy First Father's Day, Grant!

Grant's First Father's Day!

Beckett and I wanted to make his dad's first Father's Day special, so we did a few things for him. We went shopping and got him a tent to go camping with this summer, socks, and a cute mouse pad with our pictures on it!

For lunch we took Grant out to eat at Whaleshead Restaurant. Beckett enjoyed looking at all the mounted animals on the walls.

By the end of the day we were all exhausted! Here is Beckett and his dad at their favorite time of day! Each night the guys have their "special time" while Grant gives Beckett his bath and puts him to sleep. Grant is a GREAT dad!

In the Garden

We went over to Medford this weekend. Beckett and I spent some time with his GG. Here are a few cute pictures of Beckett discovering GG's beautiful garden. He ate a few pedals while he was out there!

Beckett's favorite toy is a safari giraffe and now he has the outfit to match.
