Beeboo!

Hello to you my little beautiful baby Beeboo! Hopefully, this is the first of many posts. Your mommy and I are planning to keep this blog updated so you can enjoy reading it when you are much older (but, we don't want you to ever grow up!). We love you so much as our little baby girl!

First of all, you are the most gorgeous baby ever. I know I am biased on that one, but you really are like a baby model. Your cheeks are so soft and kissable. You have these big bright blue eyes that mommy says you got from me. I think right now that you do look a lot like me, but that over time you will start to resemble your mommy in a big way.

You are really the first born of the new generation. You will be the "old" cousin. Since right now you are the only little baby, you are the hit of the show everywhere we take you. There are countless examples of this. A couple nights ago we were at Grandpa Laughlin and Tootsie's house. Tootsie was throwing a jewelry party for all her girlfriends. Every single person there was either obsessed with staring at you or had to hold you. You were the star, beeboo!

A few of my other general observations about you and your daddy (me):

- You are incredibly well behaved. You don't cry that much and when you do, it's usually for some specific need (hungry, tired, etc.). As soon as we fill that need, you are so happy.

- Daddy loves to put you in the baby bjorn and take you for walks or have you on his chest at the grocery store. You have never cried in the baby bjorn, we think you absolutely love it.

- Daddy gets crazy excited to come home from work and see you. When I'm driving home it feels like I haven't seen you in forever. You're usually fast asleep in the morning when I give you a soft kiss goodbye. Daddy cannot go to work without kissing mommy and Beeboo each morning!

- Your new thing when being held is that you have to face out. In the beginning, I would hold you facing me and you were fine with that. Now, you have to have your view of the world. It's funny because if you're facing someone's body you'll cry until they turn you out. You love laying on the couch, sitting on Daddy's lap, facing out, and watching TV together.

- We really think that you love the water and seems you will be a natural in it. We have dipped you in pools a few times now. You have a curious look on your face when you're in the pool as if you are trying to figure out what's going on. But, you never cry in the pool. We can't wait to dip you in the ocean in a few weeks when we take you on vacation to Destin!

Till next time.......

I love you,
Your Daddy

Wow! How amazing it has been loving you the past two months. Everyone is in love with you and says, "She is such a gorgeous baby." We know this, but still can't get over it. Your Daddy said just last night, " She gets prettier and prettier every day." I agree fully. Now you are starting the make noises and smile at us so much! It is so wonderful. We sing to you and you try to sing back. It is the cutest thing in the world. You love your crib toys now on your bed and stare and smile at them. You really love fans and lights, you are fascinated by them. You also love to blow little bubbles in your mouth and drool a little on us. When you wake up in the morning your little cheeks are cold from your drool. Hehe. You smell like a baby and we love that too. Your Daddy wants to make you a baby model!

We drove to Colorado, your first vacation, with Mimi and Grandpa Beck, Aunt Lainey, Aunt Colly, and Uncle Paul. You did well in the car but we decided to fly from now on for long trips like that. You hiked the mountain, went to a dude ranch, swam in the pool , and loved every minute of it. You really love the water and the lake at the farm too! You love being outside and the sounds calm and sooth you.

We are trying to give you tummy time to strengthen your neck and shoulders, but you hate it. You cry and we can't stand to keep you there longer than a minute. We love you so much there are not words to describe it. Like I said earlier though, your smiles and coos and SOOO adorable. We could sit all day with you and watch you smile, laugh, and talk to us.
