livin it up :)

first of all....thank you!!! thank you my fellow blogger friends and strangers and family for your comments and advice and support. i love the blogger world, and i love how easy and quick i felt better about life and motherhood and lack of sleep just from people taking the time to shed their wisdom in a few type written words. so, all of that jumble of words = THANK YOU muchly!

now, we have just been livin the easy life down here in portland. the weather has been great, and becks is back to his normal sleep after a few rough nights - yay! dust is back to school - in the 2nd quarter now and will start to get busy soon, but he quite enjoys that he's learning things that will actually come in handy in his career, so all is well with that :) becks is missing his dad after 2 weeks of having him around 24/7, and so do i cuz i got to sleep in every once in a while, but we can't wait til the next break when we get to come home and see everyone!

anyway, here is our little guy cuz i know that he's the one everyone wants to see. lacey got these shades for aj when he was just a little guy, and they were super cute and useful (but more cute) for beckam the other day when it was 25 degrees here and when the sun was shining in his eyes :) he fell asleep with them on actually, so i guess they really do keep the sun out - haha so cute! we are loving the portland springtime, that's for sure!

 

thank you grandpa and grandma peterson for our new movie - bolt! my little poser son worked hard to get some good pics to show how much he loves it :)

 

and here is some of what becks has been up to lately...not only is he loving his bumbo chair, but we've now attached the tray with some toys, and he has been concentrating super duper hard on the toys trying to figure out how to make his hands grasp them so that he can bring them to his drooly mouth to suck on cuz he must be getting sick of his fingers - oh the fun of being a baby! oh and our boy LOVES his basketball just like his dad. well...maybe he loves the TV with all of the colors and movement, but we like to say he's a straight up balla and that he likes watching his boys and his favorite sport :) he's also loving his chair still but pays way more attention to the toys now - so cute! lastly, he's just started to realize that he has feet and toes, and it's so fun to watch him throw his legs in the air and hold them there while he admires his new found friends. i'm not sure if he wants to eat them or play with them, but for now, he just likes looking at them and does countless leg lifts every day to do so! he's getting cuter and cuter, and we are loving each little stage that he goes through. i just love being his mom!!!
