What a weekend!

We had a busy weekend! Friday night Rodney and I took Beau to the mall to go to dinner. We normally don't venture out on Friday's because we are tired from the work week. Beau LOVED being strolled through the mall by his Dad. He checked out all the people and did not care that we ate dinner 30 minutes past his normal meal time. If we were at home....he would have been screaming! Beau is very mild mannered most of the time, but especially in public.....he loves to check out everyone and everything.

Saturday we went to Jeremiah's 1st birthday party. He and Beau rode in a little red wagon in the Day's front yard. Beau was holding on to the sides of the wagon for dear life. It was hilarious! That night we said goodbye to our friends the Mills. They have a son, Parker, who was born 2 months before Beau. They are moving to Texas to help with a church plant. Beau had a pretty good time at the party, but was starting to get a little fussy. So, we loaded him up in the car and came home. We woke up to him screaming his head off around 1 am. We could not calm him down at all.....it was so scary. Finally, around 3 am he fell back asleep. Sunday was filled with times of fussiness as well. Rodney took Beau to the doctor Monday morning and Beau has his 1st ( and hopefully last!) ear infection. He has handled it pretty well, but the screams of pain have definitely hurt our hearts(and ears!). Even through the pain, he still is a sweet baby who loves to scoot around on the floor and play all the time!

Beau and James hanging out at the birthday party....it looks like James is telling Beau something that Beau can't believe!

On a side note....I found this picture and thought it was too funny....this is a picture of a small group we were in a few summers ago. So many of the friends we made in this group are our good friends now. In the picture, there are 3 babies. Now this same group has 8 more babies and 4 on the way (that I know of!)

Scooting Around

The past 2 weeks Beau has learned how to scoot acound the house. He has not quite gotten the hang of crawling....the whole getting up on the knees move throws him off....but he has mastered the art of scooting around. He has also been watching Mom do her Billy Blanks workouts some and can do a baby push up....no joke! I tried to get a picture, but he can not hold his push up for very long yet.

We had such a fun weekend together. Dad took the day off Friday to be with Beau. Normally when I leave for work, Beau will whine or fuss (so sad for me to hear!), but Friday I told him bye and that I loved him and he just gave me this look....like go on Mom, I get to play with Dad all day! They had a great time that day and that night because Mom went to her school's beauty pageant. 3 of the girls in Mom's class placed in the pageant. When asked what they liked most about school, one of the little girls said she liked her teacher, Mrs. King, the most....too sweet!

Then on Saturday, we celebrated cousin Blake's birthday at the bowling alley. Beau was in heaven with all the people to look at and all the attention he got there! The rest of the weekend we have spent playing with Beau. He is so much fun!

Here are some pictures of him scooting around......

Rocking on his knees in his pack n play

Love the look of determination


His favorite toy was the orange one, once he got it.

After all the scooting around, Beau decided to relax for a stroller ride around the neighborhood. He loves to chew on the sippy cup, but when water actually comes out of it, he has a surprised look on his face and he spits it out. Oh well!
