Trains and Toddler Beds

Over the Christmas Break we had a few exciting events (other than the presents and food)...we went with Grammy, Papa and all the Paynes to see the Trains at North Park exhibit.  The big boys really enjoyed looking at all the trains and Knox enjoyed being pushed around by Grammy.

Brady wanted to touch everything!

The State Fair (and Big Tex)

We also transitioned to toddler beds!!  Owen started climbing between the cribs one day during nap and within a couple days Brady had figured it out as well.  I thought that as long as they were just going between their beds that it would be alright but one day during nap I heard a loud bump and then some "I'm hurt not just mad at my brother for taking my book" crying.  Brady had either fallen or been pushed from the top rail of the cribs.  We quickly took off the front of the cribs and began sleeping in big boy beds.  We've had a few rough spots but it's generally been going quite well.

Don't I look comfy?

Merry Christmas to All!

We had a great Christmas this year (actually 3 but who's counting)!

We celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Stoneman on the 23rd with wonderful weather.  After lunch and opening some gifts we went over to the park and fed the ducks.  It was a very fun day.

On Christmas Day, we opened our family presents in the morning and then Grammy and Papa came to visit for a Mexican fiesta lunch and stayed to enjoy all the snow fall.  They left before dinner since the roads were expected to get bad.

On New Years Day we celebrated with all of the Beckels.  It was a crazy day with 8 adults, 7 kids and 3 dogs...mind you all the kids are 3 and under!!!!  It was a flurry of eating, opening gifts, playing with toys, eating some more and lots of loving and snuggling with kiddos.

We couldn't be more blessed!  Brady loved opening presents, Owen loved playing with the Christmas tree and Knox just took it all in.  We can't wait to see what next year will hold for us.

Happy New Year!

I know what to do here....

My littlest Christmas Elf

An attempt at a group shot...we hoped that presents would keep them focused!

A little craziness....

Knox just hung back and took it all in

Hello....anyone there?

The littlest boys...

Knox turns 2...months

Knox is already 2 months old....where did the time go!  He is growing like a weed and is already up to 11 pounds 2 ounces which is in the 35 percentile (giant by Beckel baby standards...LOL).

We've had a busy month.....he's sleeping really well at night and rarely complains about anything.  He still gets lots of love from his brothers and even Ike.

Enjoying some time on the floor

2 months old!
