Life lately

Birthday party planning is in full force! We are scheduled for 1 year pictures this weekend and I am seriously starting to get excited!!!! 

Daddy is home so we are enjoying spending time with him! 

Beckham has a newfound obsession with the lower cabinets in our kitchen so we had to baby proof everything today. It's just a matter of time before he realizes how to open them, but for now he is leaving them alone! 

Today I....

Slept late- Beckham slept until 11... Yeah I have the best baby ever! Well technically he woke up at 7 but then went back to sleep so, yeah, I'll take it!

Cooked brunch and had some of Butch's fabulous homemade plum jelly!

Played outside, in the dirt, no less! We are trying so hard to grow some grass and it's actually coming in pretty good but of course Beckham wants to play in the spots where it's not growing! Go figure! He's definitely all boy!

Had a mani-pedi! It was so nice to get out and relax for a bit by myself! Plus, my nails and toes look very cute & match! :)

Cooked chicken fajitas & yellow rice for supper.

Stayed up late and blogged....ha!

Here's the usual photo dump:

Today I...

Today was very busy, although we never technically left our yard/house (other than riding the Ranger all of 100 yards to Grami's house)...

Today, Beckham slept until 10:00 AM; yes, my child is awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in! So, when we got up I fixed eggs and pancakes for breakfast. He eats so good for his age. Right now he has 4 teeth; 2 on top and 2 on bottom, but is trying to cut the two next to his upper incisors. So, according to this he is right on schedule. Back to today- after breakfast he was dying to get outside, literally beating on the glass door. So we played outside. ALL. DAY. LONG. I have a feeling this is going to become a daily occurrence with little man. He loves being outside and I totally do too do not. I should have added play outside to the to do list because we definitely could have marked that one off! Hey! And we ate sherbet today, that's kind of like ice cream...ha!

I can't seem to find a layout on this blog that I like......urghhhh. While trying to decide how I was going to, yet again, change it. I ran across this post. I literally LOL'd when I read that I wrote about losing 7 lbs. (I even said "bye bye baby weight") yeahhh...that's about where my weight loss stopped. It's depressing. I really wanted to be back to pre-baby weight by Beckham's birthday. That was a lie. Deep down inside I was thinking I'd totally bounce back within a few months. Boy, was I wrong. I can't remember exactly what I weighed when I left the hospital, I have a number in mind and if that's correct then I've actually lost 13 lbs since July 20th, which is sad! I've GOT to do something. And by something, I mean something soon. Beckham's birthday is quickly approaching and honestly, at this point, I'd be happy with just being 10 lbs lighter. OK! That's enough of my whining.

Here's a pic from today :)

Please excuse our mess of a backyard! We are currently trying really hard to get the grass to spread. The part Beckham is standing in is growing beautifully, now we need it to spread out.

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!)
