Christmas Eve Play 2016

Enjoy!
Forgive me of any mistakes I had!
In some places it seems like the music is quiet, I had to do that to make sure everyone was heard.

Also the inspiration for this video: Have you ever seen those questionarrie clips. Where it asks a single question and it shows a bunch of people's answers. Hence our video

One Year!

My baby is a year...I know that it is cliche to say, "I cannot believe he is already a year" or "my baby is so big!" But they are so applicable. I am writing this on October 31st currently and I can't believe that exactly a year ago I was oh so pregnant and oh so frustrated with still being so. In 2 short hours from this moment (10 pm) I would begin my labor and my whole new life.
What a wonderful life it has become in a short year (though, those first four to five months do not seem like they ever will end, but they do).
I cannot believe the changes that have happened to me, my life, my relationship with Zach and to my baby in a year. The love in all of those have grown in such wonderful ways. And the love of a mother is something so different than any kind of any love. I can't explain it, but I I am glad I get the chance to experience it and even more so with Beckham.
I was listening to this song and one line went, "Of all the things my hands have held by far the best has been you", it is 100% true. Of all the things I have held in my hands, including books, art supplies, sewing things, my cats, my precious soccer ball, and others, Beckham is by far the best thing I have ever held. His tiny little body is perfect and he amazes me.

There are days that are less fun than others, (or plainly put-no fun at all) there are nights that are long and moments where being a mom is just hard! But I wouldn't go back at all. Not to a schedule that doesn't revolve around naps, not to being able to go out past 7 without a babysitter, not to random road trips, and not to anything before. My life has changed drastically thanks to my little one, Beckham, I love you! I hope you don't grow up so fast, but I know you will, so instead lets just enjoy the small moments of growing. Each and every day.

His video 6 months to a year! It really does go by this fast....

New Significances

It has been so long since I have posted that I cannot simply name this blog one title based on one event, so hence the general title.
Speaking of, the reason I give this post this title is because the other day Beckham and I were standing outside looking over our balcony. I was holding him and he was content in my arms and sucking on his passy.  When all of the sudden he spit out his passy and we watched it fall the three flights down. I sighed and then proceeded to walk down three flights of stairs, around to the back of my building and back up three flights of stairs all for the sake of one passy. But you see, something that has had no profound significance in my life about a year ago has become one of the most important things I own now.

That fateful morning where a passy became one of the most important things I own.
 Now here are a few other things that have been going on since my last post.

 This is how we spend our Sundays.  Not very spiritually fulfilling.





 Snuggles with Mom and Dad.




 Walks outside



New Hairstyles (Much to Mom's own amusement)




Barnes Family Reunion












August and Papa (so cute!)





 Hanging out with friends and cousin Naomi


 Cool kids museum downtown Raleigh (Thanks Drew, Jess and Naomi for inviting us!



Cute little Naomi asleep




Fun in New Jersey with Auntie Em, Pop Pop and Gigi






When I found out Merry died. so sad! 
 Random moments of cuteness.




Update:
1 Day: 6lbs 2 oz

(and because technology hates me...I cannot figure out how to put Beckham's 1 month or 2 month picture on) (cue major eye roll)
Hopefully next month when he turns one 1 (!) I will be able to have all 12 up!

3 months old: 13 lbs 9 oz
4 months old: 14 lbs 7 oz
5 months old: 15 lbs 6 oz
6 months: 16 lbs even
7 months: Won't even stay still for a picture
8 months: This is what a teething baby looks like...*sigh
9 months; 17 lbs 3 oz
10 months: I don't think he will be laying down for the remaining pics.
