Beckett Anthony: 15 months

We had Beckett's 15 month well visit on Tuesday. He has gained 2 lbs and 2" since his last visit and jumped up to the 71%-72% for his age. Think maybe he's had a little growth spurt since his first birthday. His official stats are: 19" head, 31.75" length, 24# 2.5oz

He's had some big accomplishments since his first birthday, Mommy's favorite being that he is now sleeping through the night! Hallelujah! He still has nights where he wakes up once but most of the time he sleeps through the night. He now goes down for nap and to bed without being rocked. Another yay!! No more fighting sleep in Mommy's lap for 45 min to an hour. Which is really good because mommy doesn't have room for that in her lap anymore! Ha!
He also got his molars all in, top and bottom. He's blowing kisses and doing all kinds of sign language thanks to his new nanny. He can sign "more", "please", "thank you", "apple", "all done", and he's working on "mom" but that ones a little tricky. He shakes his head yes or no in response to a question or shakes it no if he doesn't want to do something. His jabbers are turning into very clear words and he repeats a lot of the words we say. I think he'll be putting words together soon! Probably the cutest think he says now is "mommy" and "daddy" putting an emphasis on the "ee" at the end. He's also started eating with a fork and spoon, or at least trying to.
Here's a couple more pictures of my big boy playing at the dr office. He loves books!

Love you, my ornery little firecracker.

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?...

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...

Beckett Anthony Allen

Beckett is here! (Well over 2 months ago) Born 11/26/13 at 5 pm 8 lbs 14 oz 20.5 in Contractions started 10:30 pm on 11/25. I was having r egular contractions but they weren't very strong. Around 2 am, they were getting a little stronger and we decided to go to the hospital. Jason grabbed Brazos out of bed, blankets and all, and took him over to the neighbors house. Then we were off to the hospital. We called all the grandparents to let them know we were on our way. They hooked me up to the monitors and watched me for an hour. I made about a cm progress and I was a day passed my due date so they admitted me (about 3 am) Mom, dad and heather first to arrive. I didn't know Heather was coming so that was an awesome surprise! She didn't get to be there with Brazos so I was beyond thrilled she could be there this time. My dad arrived shortly after. Contractions were still not painful so I waited for a couple hours to get the epidural, around 6:30 am. That was pro...
