3 Weeks and Kicking!

Last weekend Aunt Tara came down from Idaho to see her little nephew. We're so glad she was able to come down, even though it was a busy weekend! We'll see you again in 5 weeks Aunty!

Graydon is still doing good. He's discovered his lungs, so his once little bitty squeak of a cry is now a full-fledged one. But still, we really don't hear it much except for what's expected. He's broken out in baby acne, which mom and dad are hating! We know all babies go through it, but it still breaks our hearts to see it!
Here's Graydon doing his favorite activity: sleeping (except at 4 am!).

Today we applied for Graydon's passport because we'll be going to NZ in October. It cracked us up to put down on the application that he was 1 ft 8 in tall! We had to pick hazel for the eye color because we don't know yet! We figured since mom's are brown and dad's are green, hazel is a good mix of the two! He had to have his picture taken too, which is kind of funny. You can see X's arms in the picture holding him and his face is kind of scrunchy, but at 3 weeks old we weren't expecting Glamour Shots! Grandma and Grandpa Beckham, you can start the countdown!



Here's this funny picture of him raising his arm straight up in the air during his nap time (...in his vibrating chair...his favorite place!). He held it up in the air for about 5 minutes!



And thanks to Bethann for helping me figure out our sling! I think it's our new favorite thing. Super Cuddly! Thanks to all for your emails, phone calls, and visits! It's good to know so many care!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I loved our visit. I figured my sling out better, and I got a vibrating chair now and I am in heaven. I can finally get stuff done.

such cute pictures! glad he's doing well. I think that is too funny about raising his arm in his sleep. I think he'll be a very good student when he grows up and he's just getting in the practice now of raising his arm.

Hi Tara! It's good to see pics of you too! Dont' you love being an auntie :) I love it!

That picture of Graydon with his hand in the air is so funny. I laughed out loud. Thanks for posting it. He is adorable. Congrats.
