Since February... (Katie, this is for you!!!)

Oh my...has it really been since February that I posted last?  That goes to show that selling your house, ending a school year (with many tears), buying a house, closing on both houses within one day of each other, moving, remodeling, remodeling more, and all the while trying to keep up with our 9 month old...time can get away from you!!!

So, I'm going to take you on a picture walk of the past few months of our lives!

Little Beckett passes the 4 month mark!  He got so big so fast (and it just continues...)

Obviously Beckett doesn't like Mommy's monthly pictures anymore...he's outta here!!!  (4 months)

Beckett started cereal and the sippie at 4 months...he couldn't wait!  He literally drooled over Mommy and Daddy's food so we couldn't hold him off any longer!  (check out those crossed legs...how funny!)

Beckett wanted to crawl so bad at 5 months, but he just couldn't figure out how to go!

We went to the park a few times this spring!  Beckett loved to swing (and still does)!!!

I'm 6 months old today...April 19, 2010!!!

I love playing with Daddy!  We like to wrestle!

And I love my jumperoo!  I can jump high!!!

Mommy and Daddy started packing in May and I loved playing in their boxes!

Mommy and Daddy dedicated Beckett to God on Mother's Day, May 10th.  What a wonderful Mother's Day Mommy had!  (Oh, and that's Beckett's girlfriend in the back, Kayla, she helped in the infant room at church)!

Beckett graduated out of his baby bathtub!  He thought he was big stuff!!!

This is serious moving!  Mommy HAD to get something done and Beckett was not letting Mommy leave the room without him.  Solution - attach child to adult.  Worked like a charm and Mommy got some packing done!

Our wonderful friends, Matt, Ambrah, and Kaiden let us stay with them for a whole week!  Kaiden was showing Beckett how his cool jeep worked.  Beckett only went backwards, if only Kaiden could see him in his walker now!!!

We closed on our Salisbury house and immediately got to work with destruction! (more house pictures later)

We're having fun in the sun!  We've gone swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's pool at the farm!  It's so fun!

Mommy found Beckett standing up in bed one morning!  I think Beckett was just as surprised at himself as Mommy was!!!  What a fun milestone!

Beckett's hats are starting to fit and he seems to like them, for now!  Beckett and Daddy match now!

Mommy, Daddy, and Beckett celebrating the 4th of July!

Just moved into the new house on July 10th!  Beckett's already controlling the remote!

B loves the new house because he can cover every square foot in his walker!  (and yes, look closely, B ran right out of his shoes)!


Hope you have enjoyed this glimpse into the past few months of our lives!  Beckett turned 9 months old on Monday, July 19th, and we are settling into our new house and new (or old) town.  We are enjoying Casey's pizza, family stopping by for visits, backdoor visitors, playing at the park with Aunt Lou, going to mom and dad's for lunch, Grandparents' babysitting, leaving our cars unlocked, and our ice cream runs to Casey's!  Although we knew we would miss so many things about Grain Valley, Zach and I have realized that benefits of family and "small town" are much greater than we ever imagined!  We are so pleased with God's plans for our lives!

Zach, Diane, and Beckett
