My Angels

Ok, so this post won't be as good as it could be because I don't have pictures of my sweet little babies at the moment! But I will upload some later. :) So this post is all about my kids!! Beckham and Ellery. I just have to take some time and write all about THEM because they are amazing!!

Beckham:

-Looks more and more like a little boy and less like a baby, which is kinda sad for me, but also adorable

-Got his first haircut!! His curls were getting a little out of control so I went to chop town! Yes, I cut it myself and it looks sooooo cute!!!

-Has the prettiest golden brown hair color with blonde highlights from the sun

-Copies everything he sees from people or on TV like me when I'm working out or when they sing head, shoulders, knees, and toes on baby einstein

-Loves to brush his hair, brush his teeth, pretend to talk on the phone

-LOVES the water!! He loves bath time and loves to swim in Nana's pool! His favorite thing is to jump into the pool, yes, JUMP! He's a maniac and is not scared at all!

-Has the cutest walk I've ever seen. He struts around like he owns the world while his head bobbles around and his big cheeks jiggle with every step!

-Likes to tackle, body slam, and basically abuse Ellery

-LOVES loves loves his Daddy and thinks everything he does is hilarious!! No one makes him laugh harder than Hayden. You can see the love and adoration in the way that he looks at Hayden.

Ellery:

-Is my little princess!

-Is a blondie, which is really pretty on her

-Started walking about a month ago!! She did it pretty suddenly and LOVES to walk around. She lets me hold her less and is more independent since walking.

-Is still very small! I think she barely weighs 20 pounds!

-Is quite a spaz

-LOVES Nana and Papa

-Loves clothes! Such a girl already! She will find clothes and then walk around with them all day trying to put them on. Yesterday she had my sports bra wrapped around her neck and arm almost the entire day!

-Is very smart and figures things out very quickly, like phones, new toys, electronics, etc.

Can I just ask, does every parent think their kids are this stinkin adorable!!?? Holy moly! I can't get enough of them and I just think everything they do is so funny and so cute! Their smiles literally melt my heart every time and light up the room! They are both so smart and pick things up very quick! They are very aware of things going on around them. They will go to almost anyone. They are not that scared or timid. They think the weirdest things are hilarious. They love little kids. They love food and love to eat. They love playing outside. They love taking walks in their stroller. I put them both in the cart when we have to go shopping and they are always good. They take just one nap a day in the late morning/early afternoon. They love music, singing, songs, and dancing. They love Elmo! They love bananas and grapes! Well, I think that's it. I just wanted to write about them so I can look back at this and remember them at this stage. I feel so incredibly blessed to be their mom every day!! I love them so much and experience true and pure joy being with them!!

(*NOTE- ok, so listen. I know some of you might be gagging reading all of this and be thinking "Oh brother, this is so unrealistic and life is not really like this." Of course being a mom is the hardest thing I have EVER done and I have moments of anger and frustration with my kids! Life is not always rainbows and lollipops, but that is not the point of this post! The point of this post is to record the things my kids are doing right now and express my love for them! Maybe in the future there will be a post about the hardships and trials of being a mom and how sometimes my kids annoy me...but this is not that time! So enjoy this post about how amazing it is to be a mom and how adorable and sweet children really are!!!)
