Beckett Anthony Allen is TWO

This sweet, fiesty, silly, stubborn boy, oh how I love him so...
Beckett turned two on Thanksgiving this year, one of many turkey day birthdays in sure. We celebrated his birthday the following Saturday and he had lots of friends and family attend.
Happy Birthday Big Boy!

Yummy banana cupcakes with chocolate ganache - so fancy!

Eatin some dip. This boy loves to dip!!

Lots of love for Beckett <3

Birthday boys special cake!

Little monkey enjoyed his banana cake!

At Beckett's 2 year appointment, he weighed 27.4 lbs and measured 34.75" tall (head circumference measured 49"). If you double his height, he's estimated to be 5' 9.5" when he's as an adult. Not short, but not tall. Still taller than his momma and daddy though!

I spoke with the doc about my concerns over his digestive issues and the horrible diarrhea he has. She did some blood work as well as had us do a urine and stool sample...that was fun with a 2 yo. Especially since you can't collect the stool after it's been in his diaper. We finally got all the samples in and everything came back normal except he has low iron. She put him on an iron supplement which has only made his stools worse ;/ I won't be giving up though. Gonna try some TummyGize essential oils and a kids probiotic. We've cut out milk and juice which has helped but he still had spells of very watery diarrhea. To be continued.

Other than that, Beckett is a fiesty, fit throwin, silly two year old that makes me laugh and smile every day (when I don't want to throw him in the dumpster for the trash man to come get him - ha!). He's getting such a funny little personality. Is stubborn as all get out. Loves to play with his big brother, building blocks, or throw a ball and play catch, climbing up the bathroom counters to eat your toddler toothpaste, and coloring on Mimi's walls. He's a very sweet big brother most of the time and only occasionally tries to ride Hudson like a horse or roll around on top of him. Usually he just lays next to him and talks to him or gives him sweet forehead kisses. He's still a mommas boy but momma is quickly being replaced by Mimi or sometimes even Popo! He sure loves his Mimi...

He's officially started big boy pre-school with Brazos and seems to finally be settling in and likes his teacher.

My sweet, fiesty little Becktoni! I can't believe you are two already. I love you so much my middle baby boy and I can't imagine life without you and your fiery temper and sweet cuddles. My sour patch boy, my little teaser, my big little man...we love you so. <3

Jason's Graduation: Part I

We drove to KC a couple days before Jason's graduation (Wed) since we had Jason's presidents dinner the night before. I love the big windmills in Oklahoma.  We made it into KC fairly late and got to our hotel The Great Wolf Lodge. The keys weren't in the packet when we got up to the room so daddy ran back down to get them while we waited in the hall. Brazos looks way too old throwin up the dueces in this pic... Daddy and Brazos trying on their wolf ears.  Brudders Hudson was very happy to be free of his car seat! Daddy took the boys to check out the hotel and get some energy out before bed while Hudson and I settled in. Everything was decorated for Christmas and was so beautiful! The next day I went into the office to work so daddy was at the hotel with the boys for the day, waiting on Mimi and Popo. They went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.  Probably the sweetest picture of those wolf ears you'll ever see in your life. <3 Thursday night, Jason and I went...

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

Jason's Graduation: Part II

Dr. Allen, DC 4/5 of our marriage has been spent working towards this day. To say we are excited would be a great understatement. I can't even put into words how excited/happy/scared/proud/relieved, etc, etc, etc we are. There just are no words. Jason has worked tirelessly towards this goal. Countless hours of studying. Sacrificing time with me and the kids. And all the work he put in advertising and recruiting patients into the clinic. Personal training early mornings and late nights to help makes ends meet.  And I think of all the sacrifice we've made as a family. Living in a townhouse and then a tiny apartment. I've been the primary provider and a mostly single parent during some stages. And a constant cheerleader and standing behind pushing. We've both been pushing uphill for what seems like forever towards this goal. And we've made it. Not to discount his hard work, because he was the one who really accomplished this goal but I like to think we accomplished thi...
