Beck @ 2 months



This kid is a tough one, he has to be with a big brother like Linc. Linc loves Beck...a little too much. Linc loves to give brother kisses but often will hurt him in the process. Linc doesn't realize how big he is compared to Baby Beck.

Milestones:

Sleeps 8pm-6am
Smiles!
Coos
Shots :(
Holds head up more and more
Went to church for the first time
Took a bottle for a week....then decided never again 
Laughed once
Sleeps in his room most nights
Will not sleep during the day unless in carseat or being held
No longer rolls over stomach to back

Beck @ 2 months:
Weight: 
Height: 

(I was a little distracted at the doctor with Linc so I didn't write down his weight...I will call tomorrow for that info)



Holland, MI

We are loving having Daddy done with school. The last couple weeks almost killed Mommy. To celebrate we took a short trip (3 hour drive) to Holland, Michigan to see the tulip festival. They are very into the Holland culture and they actually broke the world record for most people dancing in wooden shoes. It was so fun to get out of town for a little bit and enjoy the beautiful world around us. The tulips were amazing and the locals were all dressed to the nines and wandering around town. It was so fun. Here are some pictures.









Such a fun adventure!

Family Photos




I love this smile. What a silly kid.












Easter

 Since Easter Sunday was also General Conference the boys dressed up the week before. Beckett and I missed it but Darla got this cute picture of Lincoln and Ryan. Lincoln had the cutest bowtie and suspenders. 

We had so much fun with Grandma Darla coming to help. 

The first Easter Bunny we saw was at the Chocolate Cafe, a local restaurant. Linc loved to wave at the bunny and took a picture with him only if I held him. 


Easter Sunday we did a little egg hunt in our front room. Lincoln loved getting the eggs or more importantly the treats inside. The eggs were filled of fruit snacks and smarties. 




Towards the end of the hunt Linc got the hang of it and was finding eggs on his own.  He and I did another small hunt after his naps. That one was more about finding the eggs then eating the treats. 


The Village did their annual Easter Egg Hunt Monday after Easter. 
We had the giant, scary bunny come. Linc didn't scream but he did cling fiercely to Daddy.


 Look at Lincoln eye that bunny down. 


Lincoln did great finding the eggs on the playground. Luckily we practiced Easter Sunday.  After the big hunt Ryan and his dad went golfing while Melanie and I let Linc play his heart out on the playground.



Random pictures: 
Whenever Beck does tummy time Linc loves to get down in his face and play with him. Its adorable but also terrifying. Linc loves to give Baby Beck kisses and hugs too bad he doesn't realize how big he is compared to itty-bitty baby. 

I am constantly surprised at how Linc reacts to Beck. The first week at home Lincoln ignored baby and stayed far away, unless I was nursing then Linc would come and whine to be held and yank Beckett's legs and arms. Now 3 weeks home Linc loves Beck. Whenever he hears him cry in another room Linc will put his hand to his ear and say "baby?" Linc will then go and pat Beckett's belly or back.  These brothers will forever make my heart sing....hopefully ;)

Heart Melted!

Yesterday we decided to see if Lincoln would hold Beck. Be still my heart, it was the most precious thing in the world. 

Lincoln has been keeping his distance from Beck, the only time he will get close to him is when I'm feeding him and then he only wants to look at his clothes. 


At first he only wanted to point out the different animals on Beck's outfit. He also tried to get Beck to play with his bus so we quickly got rid of that. 

kisses for brother

He was amazed to discover that Beck has toes like Linc and hands.  If you look close at this picture Linc is holding his foot while he looks at Beck's. He kept looking at his feet and pointing to baby's feet and showing us his hands then feeling for baby's. So cute. 

I think this was one of the first times Linc realized that baby brother is just a mini Lincoln. He was enthralled with his feet and hands. (We kept him away from Beck's face) 

Looking at Beck's fingers.

So cute!

After Linc went to sleep last night we gave Beck his first bath. He loved the warm water on his head and didn't seem to mind the whole tub thing.
