Tada!

And got a haircut! No more tangly, long hair for baby hands to get stuck in :)

Soakin' Up Some Rays

Hooray! The pool has been open for a couple of weeks now, but we wanted to give the sun some time to warm the water (and Beckham some time to get over a virus?). Scottie stayed home today to make the most of my last weekend on maternity leave, so we headed down to the pool for some family fun!

It took Beckham a few minutes to relax in the water. (Check out his cool mohawk- I cut it last week.)

Brooks, on the other hand, was not about to relax in the water.

He decided to take a snoozy instead.

We only spent an hour and a half in the sun, but I had 3 wiped-out boys on my hands when we got home. Like any lady would, I put them all to bed and headed to the salon. . .

Ribbit!

Corn on the Cob

Beckham watched close as Uncle Brandon ate his corn on the cob on Mother's Day. Ever since, Becks has had to have his on the cob, too. So precious!

My Boys

2 Months Old

Okay, I remembered the camera this time!! Brooks had his 2-month check-up on Tuesday and weighed in at 14 pounds 1.9 ounces, the 95th percentile for his age group- haha!! He smiles, chuckles, babbles, lifts his head, and pushes up on his belly. If you ask me, he's getting a little too big for his britches already (literally and metaphorically- he wears 3-6 month clothes already).

Here is a little clip of him doing his thing!

"Mommy, I Want To Hold Him"

We're sitting on the couch the other day, and Beckham walks over and says, "Mommy, I want to hold him". Melt my heart! He loves to pet his head, play with his feet and hands, give him kisses, and (he wouldn't be Beckham if he didn't do this) play with his belly-button. But he NEVER asks to hold him! So cute!!

Parker's Pizzaria

Scottie worked at an Italian restaurant back in our college days. If he could make money working in a kitchen, he'd probably still be doing it. He LOVED it! He got an itch to make some homemade pizza this weekend, and Becks jumped in to help. It was DELICIOUS!

Just Another Day in the Life of Beckham

More Mother's Day

Since we didn't get to see her over the weekend, the boys and I took Grammy out to lunch for Mother's Day on Thursday. We ate the most delicious Mexican cuisine I've ever tasted at a new restaurant named "Cinco". YUM!!

Beckham was especially excited to pick Grammy up at her office so he could walk through "the spinny door".

Sweet Home Alabama

The boys and I ventured over to AL on Wednesday for some much needed Nana Murphy and Aunt Kathie time. They were little angels on the car ride over! When we got to Nana's house, Beckham waltzed right in and started exploring. I couldn't get him to sit down long enough to even take a picture!

I think Aunt Kathie felt bad at the end of the day. I even overheard her apologizing to Nana for hogging the baby- haha! We got to AL before lunchtime and didn't leave until around dinner time. It was so great to just kick our feet up and visit! Aunt Earlene even made it over for some girl talk. I love my family and wish I got to see more of them!

The look on his face might give you some indication as to how the car ride back home went ;)

Parker Bros.

Farewell Friends

Since Tuesday was the last time Jane, Abby, and Lilly would be at playgroup, we through a little party for them. We had cupcakes, cookies, fruit, and juice- in other words, anything with sugar in it!!! The kids had fun chowing down on their yummy snacks.

And Brooks and Lilly enjoyed getting to know each other. Lilly was so funny touching and looking at him. She even slobbered his cheek at one point- haha!

And the other kids had to get a piece of the baby action, too! I wish I had gotten a picture of it, but as a parting gift the kids all put their hand prints on a pillow for Abby. It turned out SUPER cute! We'll miss you, Autenrieth family!!!!

Dr. Beckham

Mother's Day

As the princess of the house, my boys took good care of me on Mother's Day. Beckham was courteous enough to let us sleep in a little. Then we all went downstairs and my men made a delicious breakfast. Daddy fried up some bacon while Beckham mixed the scrambled eggs VERY well! We all ate and spent a lazy morning at home then headed to Snellville to wish Mom and Grandma Helen a happy Mother's Day as well. When we got there, we sat out on the back porch for a little while. Unfortunately, the joke was on us. It was too cold to sit outside. . . in MAY! So, the day was spent inside. Tim made a scrumptious Low Country Boil. Beckham entertained himself with Uncle Brandon. . . and a box. And I fit a little reading in.

GRANDMA'S BOYS

Happy Birthday, Jeb

Hooray for birthday parties! We had such a wonderful weekend! It started with a traumatic haircut for Beckham courtesy of yours truly. The we went to a first birthday party for my friend Becky's little guy, Jeb. We got there a little early, so we stopped at the ball fields and watched the little ones attempt to play baseball- so cute! Then we headed over to the party where they had a petting zoo set up. Beckham was in animal heaven! Unfortunately, the animals he was most interested in were not contained in the small pin. He did make every attempt he could to open the door to the barn and climb in with the horses, though- haha!

It was so great to see Becky and her family. She is such a good mommy!

And we also got to visit with Katie. I LOVE living in Kennesaw, but it sure does stink living over an hour away from some of my oldest friends!

Best Buds

Beckham and his girlie-friend, Abigail, have been getting to spend a lot of time together lately. I've tried to lend a helping hand while her parents prepare for their move to Florida, so Abby has come to play some. She and Beckham play so well together, so I'm really sad to see them move. Not to mention, I've really enjoyed getting to know her mom, Jane, too.

Last Friday, Abby came along with us to Storytime. When we got home, the kids played outside for a while (with Harrison- for some reason I didn't get any pics of them outside while he was here). Then we headed in for lunch and played some more. By mid-afternoon, they were worn out so I had them take "down time" on the couch and watch Nemo. Beckham thinks its cute that Abby gets a paci and blankie when she's sleepy, so he had to have one too. . .

Not long after said "down time". . .

Wiped Out

All together now, "Aaaaaawwwww"!

Pucker Up

Like most toddlers, Becks likes to give absolutely no effort in kisses. So, I started telling him (in the voice of Sebastion the crab from "The Little Mermaid") to "pucker up a-like-a this". This is his version of puckering! Haha!
