Air Show

The Marchant's are still alive and adjusting to a family of four. Crazy!! We are finally settling down after a crazy month of visiting family and having family visit us. Last week was our first full week of just being us. So far I haven't wanted to pull my hair out.

I am blessed with another pretty mellow baby. He rarely cries, but man does he know how to grunt and groan. Try listening to that from 5am on. We call him Goat Boy because he makes the cutest goat noises. I am now trying to get this little boy on a schedule, which has been tough. I have been having to break him of having to be held when he is sleeping. Beckham is a very alert baby and loves to fight his sleep. He lies there with tired, red, wide open eyes (he generally wins at staring contests). But, I do have to count my blessings that he rarely gets cranky. I'm trying to remember how long it took Cruz to get on a schedule. My biggest frustration has been putting Beckham down for naps. I'll put him down and within 45 minutes he is awake and he should be asleep another hour. Any suggestions?

Cruz has been such a great big brother! He loves "Baby Becka" (people are going to think we have a girl). Sometimes he loves him a little too much. Yesterday I caught him trying to ride Beckham like a cowboy. Beckham is not safe on the ground or pretty much anywhere there is not an adult within an arms length. Knock on wood, Cruz hasn't been jealous of Beckham. But, I have been trying really hard to pay a lot of attention to him when Beckham is asleep.

Last weekend we went to an Air Show that the Air Force Base puts on every other year. We went two years ago and it was still just as fun. Cruz had fun, for the most part. The poor boy got really confused by the jets though. He would look for the jets by the sound and by the time the sound came the jet was already gone.

By this time, Cruz was more interested in treats.
He's his mother's son.

Unfortunately, we have been really bad 2nd time parents. We have taken hardly any pictures of Beckham. I really need to get on top of that. I'm feeling a ton better and need to start posting more again. It was amazing, the moment Beckham popped out of me, I wasn't nauseous and my appetite was back. Even though I'm up at night with Beckham I still have way more energy then I did pregnant.
