Halloween 2015 - A First

This was Beckett's first time participating in Halloween. I personally think it's just a dumb "holiday" so I didn't dress him up or anything last year. Honestly, if my mom hadn't offered a costume that was my brothers (14ish years ago) then he wouldn't have dressed up again. There was no trick-or-treating because, come on, he's only 18 months and has no business going door to door getting candy from strangers. Maybe my take on Halloween will change as he gets older, who knows? What I do know is that he was a super cute little lion and he loved handing out candy to trick-or-treaters!

One of my girlfriends told me about a local event that was supposed to be fun for kids with some different things to do such as games and face painting. We got there late and kind of missed out on the events so we let the kids play on the playground and then went to lunch. Beckett was content swinging and we thought he was going to fall asleep at any second.

After lunch, we took him by my mom's house so he could get some special treats from them to fill his bucket up. He loved carrying that bucket around! I was actually shocked at how well he did with the costume and the bucket.

Later in the evening we took him over to my cousin's house to show off his costume and hang out for a bit.

Beckett LOVED handing out candy to the kids. He would drop it down in their bags and then run back to the bowl for more for the next kids. One little girl wouldn't come to the porch and without hesitation, he took candy over and dropped it in the bucket her mom was holding. It really was the cutest thing ever! I'm thankful that he loved the giving part and didn't seem to care much about receiving the candy himself. He didn't even ask for any of it as it was being handed out.

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night.

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
