He did WHAT??

On Wednesday December 22nd we were having a great day! Dennis had the day off and the boys had their Christmas program. It was a great morning. We decided to try something with Beckham that we heard could work wonders for his sleeping- a chiropractor! I made the appointment and off we went. The chiropractor was wonderful and helped Beckham with a kink in his neck and one in his back. The chiropractor was so sure this would help him sleep. We were beyond excited. We got home and had dinner. As I was getting everything ready upstairs, all the boys were downstairs playing. Dennis came up with some dishes and the two older boys followed. About two seconds later we heard SCREAMING! Beckham was so upset and uncomfortable. I knew he had fallen but assumed he was mostly tired. We put him down to sleep only to be awakened at 11:30 with more screaming. He wouldn't let us touch his arm. Dennis took him to Primary Children's Hospital at midnight. Around 4:30 I am updated by text with the above picture with the words "fractured clavicle!" I couldn't believe it. I have never dealt with anything like this before. I have come to realize that Beckham is very different from Cole and Bradley. He is a climber, has no fear, and is into everything. As tough as this is to believe, Cole and Bradley were very tame (I am sure that was a blessing to my sanity back then)! So...we have no idea if the chiropractor would have worked and this made Christmas a lot more interesting...but he is on the mend...and we are grateful!

What Happened?

I can't believe my last post was in June. I have failed to capture some fun (and not so fun) moments we have had since June. I am going to try and catch up. It does strike me as funny that my last post was about Beckham not sleeping....don't worry...that hasn't changed....so no need to update anyone on that subject! :)

Sleep Deprived....

As all of you have heard (because I whine about it often) my sweet baby boy is not a good night sleeper. Because of this he has a tendency to sleep in different places throughout the house at night (I have literally given up on any methods and I apparently cannot let him cry for too long- it tortures me)! He has slept in our bed, in chairs, on a mattress on his floor, in a port a crib, in his crib, and finally the couch. I had just gotten home from working out yesterday morning and the picture below is how I found Beckham. How on earth is this more comfortable than his crib? At least he is asleep...right?

ONE YEAR

Beckham turned ONE today at 12:35 p.m.!! I cannot believe it has been a year. This past year has gone by so fast. This year he did a lot of pool days, road trips (Jackson Hole, St. George, Moab), had his blessing, first holidays, first play date, first haircut, first...and second surgery, and many more milestones! He has been a blessing. He has the best smile that lights up a room and is the WORST sleeper. He is attached to mom...24/7 (which I usually don't mind)! :) His brothers make him laugh...hysterically. We had a birthday party at my mom and dad's house to celebrate. He would not touch the cake but loved his presents. I have a great video of his first year...from my wonderful friend Marianne who took the time to make it...so if you are interested let me know, you know I would LOVE to bring it over! Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby boy!

He's Walking!!!

Beckham started walking on Thursday February 25th at 9 months old. He took his first steps alone from his highchair over to the window and has been going ever since! He walks as fast as his brothers now and can keep up with them! Cole started walking in February of 2004 and Bradley started walking in February of 2005. February is our month I guess! :)

First Haircut

Beckham got his first haircut today at Cookie Cutters. He was so excited to get in the chair and take the wheel but when she started buzzing his hair he wanted to get out of there....fast! He looks so much older now! But now he can rock the Mohawk again... :)

Bradley's 6th Birthday!

Six years ago on March 2nd at 1:00 a.m. Bradley was born! It was the scariest delivery I have ever had and after a very quick emergency c-section our baby Bradley was born. He was born with quite a little attitude (which I have grown to love very much)! He is fun, imaginative, energetic, and sweet. I adore him. He was a surprise and the best surprise I have had in my life! He had his first friend party and (of course) it had to be a Super Mario party! He had a great day!
