We made it!

We finally made the big move to sunny Arizona and we are loving it! It is SUPER hot and humid because of monsoon season but we don't mind. We just got internet today and we have been going non-stop since we got here so as soon as I have a little down time I will be posting a nice big update for all of my friends and family! Adios for now!

4th of July... a few weeks late!

I'm a little behind with updating this blog but I thought I would show you how cute the one and only picture I took on the 4th is! We all had a great time on the 4th this year and it is always our favorite holiday. Logan, Beckham, and I spent lots of time with family, ate lots of food, and then watched the awesome fireworks down by the river. Beckham LOVED the fireworks and didn't peel his little eyes off of the bright colors the whole time. We were worried that the loud booms would bother him but it didn't phase him one bit!

On a different note, we are moving to Phoenix exactly one week from tomorrow! BAH! It feels like it has just snuck up on us and I have no idea where the last few months have gone. We are sad to leave family and be so far away but we are so excited to start this new adventure! Wish us luck... we have a lot of packing to do and a long drive ahead of us before we get to settle in and melt in the 120 degree heat.

7 months

This post is a little overdue but on June 23rd my little baby boy turned 7 months old! I can't believe he has been here that long already. Seven months of being pregnant definitely felt like it took a lot longer than the last seven months of Beckham's life. Logan and I took Beckham to his 6 month check-up appointment in May and here are his stats.

Height: 27 1/4" (70th percentile)

Weight: 18lbs. 13oz. (75th percentile)

Head: (97th percentile)

The nurse didn't tell us the exact measurement of Beckham's head but all we know is that it is HUGE! I think that people think Beckham is much bigger than he actually is because his head is so dang big. 

Here are a few things we love about Beckham James Cooper:

• He loves to eat
• He has the chubbiest cheeks ever and I can't help but kiss them whenever I can
• He can sit up all by himself
• He babbles to everyone whether they listen or not
• He is an awesome sleeper. He has slept through the night since he was just a few weeks old. (Yes, I know how lucky I am!)
• He has a goofy personality and always thinks he is pretty funny
• He got his first tooth on Saturday June 25th
• Bath time is his favorite time of the day
• His laugh is the best sound in the world
• He loves to jump/bounce
• He loves to roll around on the floor
• He is happier naked... seriously
• He can click his tongue

I know I might be a bit biased but Logan and I both think that we have the best baby ever. We are so lucky to have him in our lives and he makes everyday special. I can't wait until he wakes up everyday so I can see his smile. I love being and mom and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

(Sorry that I don't have any pictures for this post... I am using Logan's new computer and I don't have any pictures downloaded on it yet! Just picture the chubbiest, cutest, funniest baby you can think of and that is Beckham!)

Sticky mess!

Today Beckham got to try his first sucker! He LOVED it and slobbered everywhere!

 By the time we took it away Beckham was a sticky, slobbery mess and I couldn't get him into the bath fast enough. 

He even had a purple tongue!

I think it will be quite a while until I let Beck have another sucker but it was fun while it lasted!

Ain't he cute?

In case you haven't heard...

We are moving!

This isn't super new information or anything but Logan and I are happy to officially say that we will be moving to Phoenix, Arizona in July! Logan has been accepted to attend medical school at Midwestern University in the fall and we are so excited. This is the beginning of a long road for our family but the reward in the end will be worth waiting for. 

I am excited to move away and live our lives away from Idaho for a few years but I am also really nervous too! I  am going to miss all of the help I get from family when it comes to taking care of Beckham and getting to hang out with them whenever I want. I haven't been more than 10 minutes away from my family for a very long time and it is going to be hard for me to handle when we are 14 hours away instead of 10 minutes. I'm sure I will adjust quickly though!

We are going to be buying a house down in Arizona and we are just waiting for the bank to accept our offer which should be any day now! I can't tell you how excited I am to have a place of our own because I LOATHE RENTING! It drives me nuts that I pay a bunch of money every month to help some other guy pay his mortgage. I am happy that soon all that money will be going to pay for OUR mortgage, not our landlord's. If we get this house we are going to need to replace the carpet in every room, does anyone know where the best place to buy carpet for cheap in Phoenix is? I also need to know where the best place to buy new appliances would be... or any great restaurants we need to try while we are down there... or fun places to hang out and enjoy the warm weather while my family is freezing their butts off in Idaho? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 

At least someone thinks I'm funny!

Beckham has turned into quite the giggler lately. I am loving it because no matter what I do, he thinks that I am pretty dang funny! Oooh, I love him so much!

Enjoy!

Wii have another problem.

Beckham and Logan wouldn't be boys if they didn't love to play video games! It doesn't matter what game, Beck just loves to sit on Logan's lap and play the Wii. I think its time to break my 6 month old of his Wii habit, and while I'm at it maybe I can help my husband kick the habit too! Wish me luck!
