smiley crib time :)

so, we put some pictures up on the wall above beckam's crib cuz the room just looked bare without something up on that big wall. we are too poor to go and buy a bunch of frames, so they are just taped up there, and they not only look cute but also provide some serious entertainment for our little guy :) he loves looking at them and giggles and smiles up a storm, especially first thing in the morning when he wakes up. i guess he thinks he's pretty good looking (or funny looking) cuz they are just pictures of him and us, and we just can't help but smile too cuz he's so cute! here's our little buddy just before bath time last night just lovin life in his crib....

told you so!

part of beckam's bedtime routine is a bath, and it's just worked out that dust gets him undressed and ready, and then i give him the bath and get him all jammied up and ready for bed. becks loves his bath time, and we love it too, but as with all boys, there is always a huge chance of our little guy peeing on us. we've been lucky so far, and i'm always careful to make sure he's aimed away from me at least. dust - on the other hand though - has more confidence and always seems to take the risk of holding him naked for a minute or two before he puts him in the bath. i've always told him that he's gonna get sprayed one of these times, but he's been lucky until last night :)

becks had his 1st bath in the big bathtub, so dust got him undressed in the living room and headed into the bathroom. he was just giving him some cuddles when he felt something warm on his hoodie, and i finally got to say i told you so! haha becks let loose on daddy! hopefully he'll learn his lesson and be a little more careful next time. welcome to world of baby boys i guess!

 

mean mom

i hate shots! i hate getting them, and i definitely hate watching my son get them! it was 2 months shots day on saturday, and it wasn't really fun to say the least. they have these free clinics on the 3rd saturday of every month down here where you can take your kids to get shots, so lace and i headed over with the boys. the room was full of kids waiting their turn - all oblivious to the fact that they were gonna get poked in a matter of minutes. beckam got a little fussy when we got there - he probably sensed what was to come - but he settled down and was half asleep when we went into the back room. thankfully, we had a nice nurse who let him stay in the position he was in and just pulled down his sweats and then did her thing. it was totally killer to watch his sleeping content little face turn to a screaming horrified beat red one. i felt like he was screaming at me asking me why in the world i would ever do such a thing to him, and i was wondering the same thing!

becks got 1 shot in 1 leg and 2 in the other and then had to suck down some liquid stuff too. the shots were no fun, but he loved the liquid. i had to look away from the nurse, and i just tried to cuddle and comfort him the best i could. i wish that they could give babies just one needle cuz the hardest part was to try and settle him down in between each poke knowing that another shot of pain was only a poke away.

anyway.....becks was asleep within a few minutes after the shots, and he had a fussy uncomfortable 24 hours or so after, but i think he's back to his normal self today, and hopefully he'll forgive me and understand when i take him back for more pain in 2 months! i'm not a mean mom i promise!

bumbo hunter man

here is our life today - trying out the bumbo chair and trying on the camo onesie grandpa hill got becks :) i can't believe my son (i still love saying that by the way!) is old enough and strong enough to sit in our bumbo chair! i don't know how much he loves it yet cuz it takes a lot of work to keep that little head of his up, but i can see many a kitchen baking parties with me and him and the bumbo chair to come!

and finally grandpa hill can stop asking us about why beckam hasn't tried on his camo clothes yet! this onesie is still a little big on him, but it's super cute, and now my dad can stop asking us why his grandson isn't a hunter yet! i can just see him now in his full on camo gear out hunting in the coulees with dad and grandpa - can't wait! thanks for onesie dad, and becks told me he wants to sleep in it tonight he loves it so much :)

for kait

 

sunday best and balla boy

here are some new ones of beckam in case you haven't gotten enough lately! kristen got him a new shirt/sweater combo for church, so he tried it out for the 1st time while she was here visiting, and we had to fend off all of the little girls who wanted to hold his hand at church :) he was a total stud and looked so grown up!

 

 

then....we got him some little shorts and a cute t-shirt when we went shopping at the outlet mall too, so here is beckam balla style! he tried on his basketball shoes with his new outfit, but he still needs a few months before those will fit! he sure is getting big though, and we just can't get enough of him!

 

 

thanks auntie kris!

i have the best siblings in the whole wide world! i miss kait like crazy, and i can't wait to see cars when he gets home from the mish in a year, and lucky for me - kris was here visiting this last week! she's off to south korea to do some english teaching in a couple of weeks, so she decided to come on down for a visit before she takes off for a year, and we had lots of fun :) i loved having my sister around again, and beckam loved seeing his aunt again, and we're just gonna miss her tons!

she had lots of fun cuddling with becks and helping me with the day-to-day fun of being a mom, and i just loved having her here. i'm so proud of her, and i hope i can be more like her. she's so easy to be around and makes me smile, the room just lights up when she walks in (as long as it's not 1st thing in the morning - haha). so....love ya kris, and thanks soooo much for coming to visit! we miss you already!

 

 

 

 

ps - these pictures were all taken on different days, but kris found a hoodie that she fell in love with and pretty much didn't take it off! us hill girls are serious hoodie lovers :)
