Today I....

Today I.... (got this idea from here.)
-Actually didn't go to bed until this morning (around 1am) thanks to Pinterest and online shopping for things I don't need....as usual.
-Woke up to Beckham at 4:00a- changed, fed, and back to bed by 5:00a.
-Woke up again at 7:30 to Beckham wide eyed as could be just laughing and playing in the bed.
-Changed him, got a shower, fed him and got him ready to go.
-Went to a friends to pick up some baby food she had for us and give her some formula. We switched from Enfamil Infant to Gentlease about a week ago and she uses Infant. So, we had some to give her since we weren't using it anymore.
-Went by the donut shop for some yummy donut holes. My fav! Totally not helping this whole, lose the baby weight thing. Ugh
-Went to Grammy's to help her watch the twins again. They were really good! We figured out they LOVE Happy Feet so it was a pretty easy day.
-Beckham decided to get fussy towards the end of the day so we called it an early night at Grammy's came home, got a bath, some cereal and rocked for about 20 minutes. We both loved it and he was out by 9:30p! My gosh that boy fights sleep to no end! I just don't get it. I love sleep- why can't he?
Today I also......
:: Thought about how much I miss Butch! I'm so ready for him to be home. Three weeks 23 days is a long time. I'm never 'ready' for him to go back to work, and I miss him the second he walks into the Airport. :(
:: Enjoyed the rain shower that came through around 6:00p. It has been so unbelievably hot, the cold front is much appreciated!
:: Freaked out because I thought Beckham rolled over.... turns out Uncle B flipped him while we weren't looking.
:: Got good news about my possible upcoming job....update soon!
:: Thought about Beckham's 1st Birthday party....it's not like I have 10 months to plan it or anything.:)
:: Missed Daddy more.
:: Smooched and rocked my sweet little boy to bed. My favorite part of the day (Mommy cuddle time!)

Swimming-success! [HF4F]

So it has been about 1000 degrees here all Summer but particularly hot the last few days. The pool was pretty warm last weekend but not enough to let Beckham try it out. I didn't want to traumatize him on his first experience in the water. He likes his bath water unusually hot for his age (seriously, his 1st bath with luke warm water- screamed the whole time!!), so I knew the pool had to be very warm for him to like it. Today was the day to try it out. The past three days have been in the 100's, yes, one. hundred. degrees, folks. HOT! Turns out- he LOVED it! We played for about 45 minutes. He was giggling and smiling and having a great time. His diaper weighed about 20 lbs when we got out, but nevertheless it was great!! Hopefully we will have a few more chances to play before it really starts to get cool and we will have to wait a whole year!

On another note- I got my portfolio all ready to go for my job interview. I just keep telling myself, 'if it's meant to be it will happen!'.

1. My Mom and step Dad came over this past weekend- so fun! Had a great visit! Wish they lived closer!
2. Labor Day was Monday- food, friends and fun!
3. Hubby had to go back to work, but thankful he has a job. We are blessed.
4. Baby boy went swimming for the first time! I am so lucky to be in his life.
5. Girls night out tomorrow! Yay!



Here are some photos of my adorable kid...enjoy! :)

the hat- he did not love. probably because it's 10x too big!
