thats my cue.

I always planned on stopping nursing when Beck turned one.  Then the day came and he wasn't ready to give up his last morning feeding.  ...or it may have been me that wasn't ready.  ;-) Either way, I decided to keep going awhile longer.  This morning while Beck was nursing he kept pulling off and pointing to the bottle on the dresser.  After the third time of him stopping, I went down and got him a bottle and he downed the whole thing.  I guess that means this is the end.  farewell ugly nursing bra.  Hello big boy.  Can I still call him my baby? Because I'm not ready to give that up yet. 

FREEZE!

I can't believe how fast time is flying, my baby is already 5 weeks old! He is such a sweetheart and is growing so quickly. It seems like every day he is bigger and looks different. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze time so that my teeny tiny baby can cuddle in my arms forever. Life with a newborn definitely keeps me busy! Right now I'm trying to figure out how to keep a schedule with a family member who has his very own schedule. For instance, we were 45 minutes late for dinner the other day. So here is my honest question, I need your ideas on how you deal with these little problems. Beck eats pretty regularly-every 3 hours from when he finishes his last meal. So I knew he would be hungry at 5:00 which was when we were supposed to be at dinner. I had two choices, I could either wake him up to eat at 4:15 or so and possibly be late for dinner, or just let him sleep and go to dinner, knowing that he would wake up with a hungary vengeance as soon as we got there. He ended up waking up on his own at 4:15 but he ate for so long that we ended up being super late for dinner. So embarrassing! Any ideas? How do you balance your baby's routine with life?
Penny has pleasantly surprised us with the new family member. She loves Beck and loves to cuddle when I am feeding him. In this picture she is resting her head on his feet-how sweet!

Beck got to meet his good friend Jude a few weeks ago, Jude was so cute and curious and just wanted to play with Beck. Don't worry Jude, it won't be long before you can play together!

Beck also met his first crush, cute Stella. This picture was the first time all night one or both babies weren't crying. We realized having twins would be really hard!

First time wearing shoes! Thanks Aunt Tiffini!
