Is he really 10 months old?

It's official...we have our work cut out for us! We are only 2 months away from Kash's 1st birthday! This little lion will be making his debut as King of the Jungle on his 1st Halloween this year! We are excited that his Uncle Thad will get to celebrate his first Halloween, Thanksgiving, birthday and 2nd Christmas with him too!! Kash is now standing, playing in the dog bowls, saying "Dadadada" and "Mamama," creating tidal waves in the bathtub, screaming and throwing tantrums when he doesn't get his way, waving, playing copycat and peek-a-boo!

Keep being patient with me and this blog stuff....I promise I will become a regular one day!

Back to School....for the both of us!

Summer is coming to an end....and so is my year long maternity leave! As Kash starts a new adventure at the Goddard School, I start a new adventure in Fourth Grade back at Creekside! Yes, it is a scary transition for the both of us, but I think that we are both ready for a little socialization!

All ready for my first day of school with my new school clothes and backpack!

Me and my Daddy next to my new crib!

Mommy....I have to go play with my friends now, so put me down!

 As always, Kash had his 8 Month photo shoot this month! He is sitting up in his bed now, eating "big boy" foods with his 6 teeth, saying "Dadadadada..." and scooting backwards ("Wrong direction Bubba!")

Love to all!

Lucky number 7....months that is!

Yes...Kash Beckham is 7 months old and getting more rotten (spoiled that it is), by the day! Yes...he is the first grand-baby and great-grand-baby on both sides. Need I say more? He is clapping, screaming, growling, growing teeth by the day (6 and counting), and is now ready for finger foods!

Kash had his latest photo shoot with the classic summertime favorite....watermelon!

Yes...Mommy also updated his monthly pics too!

"I have a question!"

We enjoyed the fourth with family, and the spoiling that took place at both houses!! But we didn't forget about Uncle Thad during all of our 4th family fun...how blessed we are to have someone like him defending our country! We love you Sergeant Beckendorf!

Love to all!

Thad B...who...Sergeant B!

We got to spend some QT with our favorite soldier..oh, excuse me...Sergeant, for 2 weeks! Between the catch-up sleep, friends and family flooding in, and much needed civilian life refresher courses at the Diner, Wal-Mart and anywhere and everywhere he requested us to take him...Thad was about ready to go back and finish his time in Kuwait.

We weren't so ready though:

We pulled it off! Our soldier surprised the entire family. (Except me of course...his accomplice!) Yes...I picked him up from the airport and hid him in the back of my car...only to surprise Mom and Dad soon after. I wish I would of taken a picture of their faces when they opened up the back of the car and he was hiding inside! I usually suck at surprises, so I have to pat myself on the back for this one! Keep praying that he stays "Army Strong" until his return this Fall.

Love to all!

Firsts...Firsts...Firsts...

Uncle Thad is home to visit us from Kuwait, and we could not be more excited, blessed, overjoyed, thankful....the list goes on and on. Prayers have been answered...he is home safe! (Even if it is only for 2 weeks)

First time to meet my Uncle Thad...that I can remember at least!

Thank you for my USA outfit Lala! Thad was so glad to see me supporting my favorite Uncle...Even if he is my only Uncle!

Me and my Mom missed him...I brought my camel that Thad sent me too!

 On to our next first....

First Day of School

Yes...I need all of the attention please! The first grand-baby on both sides....what do you expect? My new friends cried and it made me cry too....I am very empathetic!

 Guess what else I did for the first time??

I rode in the grocery cart like a big boy!

 Well....I guess this goes to show that Kash is doing something new every day! Mommy has her camera ready at all times to document all of these "firsts."

Love to all!!

Six Months and More...in the making!

Long time no type! Sorry about that everyone, but I am back!
I must pat myself on the back with this one because I have a six month old, and I am still alive!
Kash is nearly 20lbs and I feel every bit of it every time he is on my hip! He has had a lot of firsts lately...first swim, first sleep over at Sassy and Pappa's house, first time eating baby food, first go around at being sick, first teeth, and first "somewhat" understandable baby babble!
I must also brag that he is quoted as winning The Best Personality award with his doctor!

Check out a few of our most recent pics:

Did I forget to mention that we had a double birthday? Yes, Kash turned 6 months and I turned 27 on the same day! Check out his cute birthday outfit from Sassy!

Love to all!!

My 1st Mommy's Day!

Well, it must be official now...I am a Mommy! My special weekend with Kash started with a special day for a special friend. Patrick's sister got married!

Mom dressed me in my sailor suit!

Happy Mommy's Day Mommy!

Me and Daddy, dressed to impress!

Me and Sassy stayed inside and played...it was too hot for our taste!

The Mom's...and Dad!!

The Man of Honor!

 I finished off my day with some tasty Italian food...courtesy of MB!!

Sunday was a day of relaxation and more family time...poolside! Yes, Kash had another first....first time modeling his trunks and matching hat for his first swim session at Lala and Poppe's house!! Thanks to his fabulous Auntie Coco, we were able to document every splash!!

Enough pics already....I'm ready to get in!

Probably the most pool prepared baby of his day!

The famous curled toes!

Yes...french kissing is my new thing! (I think my brother Guns and Sis taught me this!)

Freestyle is officially mastered....breaststroke next!

Me and my Mom and Dad....soaking up some sun!

Mommy and Me on her special day!

Well....I celebrated and survived my first Mother's Day! We ended our weekend of family fun with much needed aloe, Whataburger and sleep!!

Until next time.....I need my beauty rest!!
