Knock On Wood

What is it about knocking on wood that is supposed to make the things we say come true? So, since our last blog Beckham has been sleeping through the night! Beckham and I went to a baby shower yesterday where one of the ladies asked me whether he is a good baby or not. Of course I did the proud-mommy thing and told all about the adorable things he does, then I mentioned how he's been sleeping 12 hour nights for almost a week. So she says, "knock on wood". I thought, "nah, that's not gonna change". Go figure, he only slept 9 hours last night. He has been waking up between 8 and 9 am, and today he woke up at 5 am. What do you wanna bet if she hadn't said "knock on wood" I wouldn't have been up at 5 this morning!

Our First Blog

Life couldn't be more exciting now. Beckham joined us in November to make our family fuller. He has done nothing but bring joy into our lives since then. We had a wonderful Christmas (though he slept through most of it) and spent our New Year's Eve at home where we attacked Becks with kisses rather than toasting with champagne. Each day he does something new that has us laughing (ie. a new facial expression, sitting up, standing, laughing, smiling, a new sound, etc.). We are so blessed to have him in our lives.



Today started out so wonderful. After sleeping the whole night through (12 hours), his first time to do so, Beckham woke up doing push-ups in his crib and smiling rather than the typical cry. All I could do is laugh when I walked into the nursery and his whole face lit up! I absolutely LOVE being a mom!
