Babies First Swim

On Saturday we had some McDonald friends over for a get together. We grilled shish kabobs and swam! This was the babies first time in the pool. They loved it! Well, they really didn't show any emotion but I will take that over crying! Can't wait to do it again!

Thanks to my friend Susan for the SUPER cute baby swim suits!

Guess who's 3 months!

Wow, time sure does fly! We love these kiddos!

Their 3 month check up went well minus them having to get their shots and blood taken :( They are growing on target and hitting all the milestones they need to so far.

Beckham is such a little lover. He is a mommas boy for sure. He continues to smile at people and has started to babble a bit. The other day I put him down to take a nap and I heard a little giggle. Beckham was looking up at the the mobile mirror above his head and giggling. It was pretty cute. Beckham loves bath time and kicks his legs over and over. He tends to get mama wet! He also love it when he gets his diaper changed. I mean who wouldn't like a fresh diaper on their tush? I just love him so much. He brings so much joy to our family.

Beckham's 3 month stats:

16.5 lbs

24.75 inches long

95% in weight and 75% in height

Brooklyn is such a little cutie. I love this little girl. She eats her hand and sucks in her top lip when she is hungry. It is prettttty funny! She is more of a drooler and talks to you a little more. She loves talking to people and will smile real big! The best part of my day with her is when I go in to get her from her naps and she knows you are going to pick her up and feed her so she smiles REALLY big! I love it! Brooklyn also likes bath time and getting her diaper changed.

A Visit to Douglas, GA

This week we had the opportunity to visit my family in Georgia! This is the first time my mom's side have seen the babies! It was really important for us to visit sooner than later because of my grandma's condition. Her cancer has come back and we wanted her to have the opportunity to see her new great grandchildren :)

Here is a four generation shot.

A few cousins wanting to hold the babies they have heard and seen pictures of for so long!

Us enjoying our furniture we have stored at my parent's house.

Pictures of the babies!

My cousin Lydia is having a baby boy in August. We had a shower for her at my mom's house. Little Asher will def. be spoiled! :)

Even though the drive is pretty long (7hours) I can't wait to come back!

Just Hanging Out

My sister in law Kristin gave me these onsies at my baby shower! I'm glad I can use them now!

I love that Brooklyn is starting to coo and smile! It melts my heart!

I interrupted Beckham and his staring time at the ceiling fan to grab a picture. He LOVES looking at the blades go round and round! He will just smile and smile and coo! I love it!

Better late than never

Thank you Tambo Creations!

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July yesterday! We spent the day chilling at home and eating some good ole steaks, chicken, and hot dogs!

The babies first Fourth!

Phil, Vicki and I went to the fireworks this year. Hopefully next year the kiddos will go and enjoy it!

2 months old

Today was Beckham and Brooklyn's 2 month check up! They did super well considering they had to get 3 shots :( Lets hope that makes them sleep a little more today ;)

Beckham is growing so much every day. He loves to be held by anyone but he constantly moves and kicks his legs. He never sits still! He doesn't like to take naps and mommy doesn't like that very much. He coos and smiles every day and its so adorable. He recently found his hand and has started to suck on it. Beckham rolled over for the first time a few weeks back and I think its because his big head helped him out! We recently introduced the paci and he doesn't care to take it. That can be good and bad! He also loves tubby time!

Beckham's 2 month stats:

13 lbs

22.25 inches long

90% in weight and 25% in height

Brooklyn is starting to fill out more and is getting some rolls! She still loves to sleep and mommy likes that!!! She smiles and knows who her mommy is :) Brooklyn rolled over one day before Beckham! She has also found her hand and sucks on it sometimes.  She is cooing too and will take her paci! It had been a lifesaver some days. She loves to be rocked to sleep and to be held. She is a snuggle bug. She likes to nap on her stomach and will sleep longer when she does.

Brooklyn's 2 month stats:

9.4 lbs

21 inches long

15% in weight and 8% in height

 

We love our little babies! I wish I could get a nap in once in awhile but with two it can be tricky! Brooklyn is sleeping as we speak and SURPRISE...Beckham is wide awake!

Our Growing B's

These babies just don't stop growing! Brooklyn has almost doubled her birth weight. Just give her another week or so and she'll be over 8 lbs. She loves to sleep on her tummy and will smile just a few minutes after she closes her eyes close. She loves being held and likes for you to cuddle her up on your stomach. Her eyes are still blue so she may just be lucky and have Clark's eyes! She still looks like me I think!

Beckham is our little/big butter ball! He sure is a chunker weighing over 11lbs! Sometimes we joke and ask him where his neck is. He is the sweetest little boy there is and you just want to kiss those chunky cheeks. He still smiles ALL the time and loves being held as well. He likes to be facing outside so he can look around. We've noticed recently he has a tired whimper. I can't get over how much he looks like Clark!

They both have strong legs and love to kick and try and stand up when you have them on your chest. They'll hold your finger while eating and sometimes try and hold their own bottle! Maybe that is mom's wishful thinking ;)

We love them but can't wait until they can sleep through the night! :)

Beckham and Brooklyn's Baby Blessing

Today was such a great day! Beckham and Brooklyn received a baby blessing at church from Clark. For those of you who don't know what this entails: Clark gives the child a name and adds words of blessing as the Spirit directs.  It was such a sweet spiritual experience to hear Clark speak loving words to our kids. It was also great because all the men in the Gray family and my dad participated in this.

Chad wasn't able to make it in the picture :(

This is what happens when you try and take pictures of two babies!!!
