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

[Im]Patiently Waiting for Baby Allen - 4 weeks to go!

I started out this pregnancy looking like this: And here I am at [almost] 36 weeks: Holy crap, I sure hope that tiny tummy comes back to me after this baby is born...and I lose a couple chins...and a couple pounds off the cheeks, both sets. I think I'll leave my hair long though. Not cute in that first picture. Anywhozit - 4 weeks to go!! Yay, I'm so excited. I had my doc appt and BPP yesterday. Baby didn't want to do his breaths at the BPP so we had to do an NST (Non-Stress Test). Basically, I sat in a big comfy recliner while they hooked the monitors up to my belly and recorded his heartbeat/movements and my contractions. I dozed off a couple times while I was sitting there listening to his heartbeat beep...it was rough. He passed the NST with flying colors - Dr even told me they could use my print out for textbooks because my results were EXACTLY what they should look like. (My child's perfect already - jealous?!) Next week is his growth scan [possibly his last one] ...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

Romping In The Bluebonnets

This weekend was our weekend in Texas for J's buddy's wedding. So, J, j, Gemma and myself all loaded up, and we drove down Thursday night (overnight) to BCS to spend some time with J's family too. I, of course, have never been down to Texas in the spring, but the wildflowers are GORGEOUS, especially the bluebonnets. It just looks like they exploded all over the country side! They were everywhere. J's mom wanted us all to take some pictures in the bluebonnets so we drove out to the side of a road in the middle of wherever and took some pics. They turned out great. It was quite entertaining to get the kiddos (J's nieces were there too) to cooperate and the puppy, not to mention J's mom losing her balance to kneel down with her grandbabies . And she had to wrangle all three kids and a puppy to take J & I's pic together...God bless her. It was NOT easy. Ha! The most adorable picture of them all was of my little baby girl: How precious is this picture?...
