Beckham's turned 4

Beckham is such a joy to have in our family. He is so thoughtful and kind. He has such a happy demeanor. Beckham is very determined to do things himeself. He wants to do everything Cooper does, including read Cooper's sight words that are on our wall. Beckham loves to give hugs and kisses to everyone especially Quincey. He is a great son, brother, and friend. We love him very much.

Quincey 2 Months

Quincey is now 2 months. When I took her to her check up she weighed 13.4 lbs and was 23.5 inches long. Dr Santos informed me that she is in the 97% for her weight and 90% for length. Quincey is on track to be 5'8". I am going to try to remember that to see if she really turns out to be 5'8". The picture with another baby is my cousin's baby Andi who was born 2 days before Quincey. Notice the size difference. I did not think she was that much bigger than other babies til I saw Andi. Quincey had to get her first round of shots at her apt. She was not happy to say the least. Over the last couple of weeks Quincey had started to smile in response to us and just the last few days she has even started to laugh a little. It is so fun to hear/see her smile and laugh. I did not do a good job at taking pictures this month but here are a few.

Super Stressful Day

Oh my GOSH!! We have had the most stressful 24 hours! Last night Chet got fired! Out of the blue, he had no idea it was coming! Can you believe it, his boss just came in and said this is not going to work, leave your key at the front desk. Are you freaking kiddin me!! 10 days before Christmas, no warning, no severence pay, just leave your keys!! So of course last night we were freaking out. How long can we live on our savings and food storage. Then this morning Chet started calling his friends to see if they have heard of anywhere that is looking for a new attorney. This afternoon almost 24 hours exactly from when he got fired his old boss called him and offered him his job back. Chet has said a few times over the past 6-8 months that he should not have left Tharpe and Howell. He took a chance on something that he thought would be a better fit for him and it turned out not to be. Needless to say he is happy to go back to doing what he knows and at a place that he knows. What a blessing!! What a stressfull day. We are so thankful to a Heavenly Father who watches over us.

Soccer

Cooper finished up his soccer season. He had a great time playing. He had two wonderful coaches (Angela and Skip). We could really tell that they enjoyed soccer and teaching the kids. They had great practice drills and we think that he started to get it over the last few weeks of the season. However, there were more times than we would like to admit when he was a little on the lazy side and did not want to run! Can you believe it? Cooper the boy who never stops, did not want to run. How ironic right. This was the first sporting event that we have been involved in and We are excited to see what next season will have in store for Cooper.

Fun Pictures

Here are some fun pictures of the boys over the last month. The first is of them playing on the computer. The second set of pictures are of the boys making some Halloween Rice Krispies. I just think they are so cute!!

Quincey month 1

 

Quincey is now one month old. We love having her around. Chet said that she has smiled at him in response to his smile, she has not done that to me yet. She has started to focus on us while we hold her and she can cry well scream rather. I think that I ate something she did not like the other day because she cried for almost the whole afternoon. We still wake up every 2-3 hours but then we go right back to sleep thankfully. Quincey is starting to be awake for 2-3 hours at a time about 3 times a day. Hopefully that will help stretch out the amount of times we wake up at night. Cooper and Beckham love her a lot! I mean really love her. They both kiss her to death and they both want to hold her multiple times through out the days.

Quincey

Quincey is now 10 days old. It is so fun to have a new baby in the house. A side from the lack of sleep I am feeling great. Quincey loves to eat! At her week apt she had already gained 3 oz. I thought that was a lot. She has another apt on Friday I wonder what she will weigh then. Cooper and Beckham still love her to pieces. Cooper wants to give her lots of kisses where Beckham wants to hold her. I admit that I am not a professional photographer so please bear with these pictures. I did my best to get a few pictures of my cute little newborn.
