11 months

OH Beck. 11 months has been the best, most exciting month yet...


Beck weighs about 22 lbs and is ready to move on out of his infant car seat. I thought that meant he could face forward but apparently he still has to ride back of the station wagon style. I know it's safer but I can't wait to be able to look back at him and see his face. I guess for now I'll just have to keep my eyes on the road.


Not only is he walking, but he is running... and he is running everywhere! My Lord that kid is fast. (My genes)

Beck has 3 official teeth, one that is about half way in and another that is about to cut his gums any day now. The little suckers are adorable. So now he has his 2 center bottom teeth, 1 center top tooth, and one side top tooth. The other center top tooth is on it's way.


Beck waves bye all the time. In fact one day I came home from work gave him a big hug and he looked at our babysitter, Shamira, and started waving bye to her. He is also really, really, really saying "doggie." There is no doubt that's what he's saying. There are a few other words I think may be official any day now... hi, bye, mama, dada, BOB Revolution...


Speaking of Shamira, SHE is the reason this has been the best month ever. We pulled Beck from KinderCare and hired Shamira to babysit and I can't explain how happy we are. Beck adores her, and she is the best, most hardworking, loving woman around. She is from Congo and is teaching Beck Swahili too! We are beyond ecstatic to have her. If anyone is looking for a babysitter, don't get any ideas, I will NOT give you her contact information. She is OURS.

Only 1 more month until the big O.N.E.

Best $10 I ever spent

No, not a meal at Arby's. (who do they think they are, by the way??)

A baby pool at Walgreens.

Beck LOVES this thing! It's perfect for sitting out back after work, when we don't want to head out to our neighborhood pool. This particular day it was pretty cold outside, not to mention the water being a little chilly too. Beck did not notice at all, what's up with kids not getting cold?

HOLY CRAP

I'M AN IDIOT!! JUNE 10TH IS TOMORROW!!!!!

NOT FRIDAY!!!

MY RUG SHOULD BE HERE TOMORROW!!!!

I KNOW IT PROBABLY WON'T BE!!!

AND I'M SETTING MYSELF UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

EVE DOBBS, WHY ARE YOU THE DEVIL???

Stay tuned... tomorrow could be monumental. I will either have a rug or restraining order.

I See You!!


How bad do your knees hurt after watching this? Hopefully in less than 48 hours his fat little knees will be protected by a rug... a cotton rug.

Took Beck to the Dr. this afternoon, thought he had an ear infection, he didn't (I KNOW!!!) but he does have eczema and the doctor told me not to let him crawl around on any wool rugs. I silently cursed Eve Dobbs because I just figured my new rug was wool (and that is clearly her fault) but I just looked it up and it's cotton!!

My sincerest apologies, Eve.
