3 Month Old Beck/Visit to FL/Random Pics...

Beck is now a little over 3 months...crazy. Going by even faster this time with baby # 2. It is just a blur...ha. Rachel...my sweet sweet friend took these 2 pics. We were over at her house and she said that we just needed to put him on the floor and take his picture...ok! I will never argue with that...you can take his picture for me any time you want dear Rachel!!!

Yes we are aware of his crazy hair...what is a mother to do? Yes, my thought exactly...a mohawk is pretty much the only answer. I am going to start working on that....Put it on my list of "to do's" before I leave the house each day. ha NO seriously...I am going to try to remember. Poor thing.

Diva...mother of twins....and lover of Sonic chocolate shakes...

The 2 pics of BoBo above and several below are from our trip to Florida to see my family. Nick had to go out of town so naturally that meant I needed to Florida ....ya know? Yes, but the only problem on that one is that it meant me flying with both kids by myself. Nice. We survived. 2 pics up is Dad entertaining Beck in church Sunday...Dad was in Heaven. Mimi was also in Heaven...attempting to entertain Reese...Aunt Abby had to take her outside for a walk. We couldn't put her in the nursery b/c both kids were sick that week....come to find out they both were coming down with RSV. Not so horrible in Reese, but Beck had to go on an inhaler. Then...they both got ear infections as well when we got home. Rough day...no wait rough week...no wait..ROUGH MONTH!!!!

One of the days we took Reese to the zoo in Tampa...it was really fun. Here we are fulfilling Abby's life long dream of riding on a camel.

Your welcome Ab...

I was so happy to be able to see my friends while in town...Elyse and Kristin.

Great to see you guys!!! Still just as funny as yall have always been.

Picture of both kids asleep in our bed when they didn't feel well. This NEVER happens.

Well...please notice Beck's bed for the time being. When Beck is congested it calls for many trips during the night to the other side of the house to put his paci back in....and Nick not wanting me to ask him anymore suggested Beck now sleep right next to me on our ottoman...It has actually worked great. He sleeps soooo good on it. We probably won't be able to do this much longer b/c he will soon be able to scoot...he can't yet. Gotta love that morning look.

Here are some pictures of the kids rooms...first Reese's and then Beck's.

This giant ladybug was Reese's Valentines present from us..."Valerie". It sleeps with her sometimes...

Update on Beck: He is now smiling alot...which melts your heart. He smiles with his eyes...precious. His newest trick is actually being able to hit his toys on his mobile...exciting. We have been watching and waiting. So awesome to watch a baby grow and learn new things by themselves...a miracle. This whole baby thing still amazes me. It make me sit in awe of God again and again as I think about all the miracles in a pregnancy and baby. wow.

Till next time....(until my sister calls me and tells me I must update my blog)...

Happy March everyone...Spring is almost here...

Ecc 3:1...there is a time for everything, a season for every activity under the sun...

RheaLana is coming up this week....rhealana.com...I am consigning and excited...

Happy 2 Months Beck!!! plus random pics...

Beck turned 2 months old yesterday...precious. Yes, he has a mohawk...but just in the back. Hilarious.

So, whenever I am asked...so what are your hobbies...one of my top hobbies has to be antique shopping. When I say antique, I mean cheap shabby chic furniture...not real antiques. It is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love searching and finding finds! I love finding great deals and finding that piece of furniture that is just right for my style...so exciting! Today, I found 3 "finds". From now I on I will try to post my newest "finds". So fun.

Love this!!! This says "Meredith" all over it! And...it was only $45.00. Yes, that is right. What a deal! Love it. Perfect for our living room. It is nice to have a rocker to rock Beck in the living room and not just in his room. It now needs the perfect pillow, I am on the hunt.

I think I am addicted to wreaths. I am not sure...but pretty positive. Ha. This one needed to come home with me and was only $6.50.

Ok, so I have always wanted one of these fake trees...we have been married for 5 yrs this summer. But...I could not bring myself to spend around $100.00 for a fake tree. I just couldn't do it. Guess how much??? $14.00 yep...that is right. I held out and here she is!

We have a pic of Reese sitting up in this same rocking chair...Beck needed one too.

Reese with her new kitchen from Poppy and Gigi. Mommy had just organized every single thing and this is right before she dumped everthing on the floor.

Tx game...Reese was upset b/c we made her take her princess headbands (all 3 of them) off for the picture. Ronnie and Jeana bought all of the kids Tx Shirts while they were in TX.

The other night Reese was taking her bath and I was not exactly keeping my eye on her...I was right down the hall in my room changing Beck...she called out to me and I finally answered probably after like the 3rd call. I casually turned my head and could see from where I was that our bath tub was seriously about to overflow all over the floor with bubbles. Evidenly we put too much bubble bath in b/c when the jets are turned on it just makes the bubbles multiply like 1 million times...seriously. So, after this Reese thought that she needed to do this every night...not happening. They stay in the tub for like a year...really annoying. Good memory.

My Dad, Mom and youngest sister Abby came to visit for Beck's birth. It was so fun. This was baby dedication day at church. He was 10 days old.

Nick and Reese playing Christmas morning.

I volunteered to stay indoors with the baby...duty calls you know.

Reese had a Christmas program for her Kids Day Out class. You can see her here very upset. She saw me at the beginning and ran out of her spot. Nick made her go sit down and she frowned the WHOLE performance...I am not kidding. She did not sing one word. Perhaps next time will go a little smoother? Cousin Parker did very well though!

These are some more pictures from Beck's birth.

The new definition of the "floyd family".

(pic below)

I can say that adding baby # 2 is crazy just like everyone said it would be. I didn't think this for the first few weeks...but the day I got home from taking my family (aka. HELPERS) to the airport...I changed my mind. Adding # 2 is crazy...crazy busy I should say. We are adjusting though...8 weeks in things are definitely alot better. I am getting used to the new normal.

He is a blessing!

Beck's Arrival...almost 3 weeks Old now!!!

Well...Beck is now almost 3 weeks old and so precious. My mom left to go home today...so sad. Here are some pictures from the day he arrived up until now. The pic above is of me and Nick waiting to go into the operation room for the c-section.

My sweet friend Rachel came that night to take some pictures. They turned out so precious!!! Thanks Rachel!

Everyone peeking @ Beck for the first time.

Reese was so precious the first time she saw him. It was an awesome moment.

What a blessing.

Poppy and baby

Gigi and baby

Reese and her "heartbeat". That is what she calls it. Precious.

She was checking out little brother.

Handsome daddy and handsome son...what more can a girl want?

I am in love with both of them!!!

Bobo (my dad) holding his newest grandson...my parents and sister and brother all came to visit for Thanksgiving to meet Beck. Thanks everyone for coming!!!

The 1st day he came home Reese insisted he lay down with her in her bed while we put her to sleep. I am just glad he has survived thus far with all of Reese's "hands on" activity with "brother".

What Reese has been doing in her spare time...

My dad and brother with Beck on Thanksgiving day.

Mimi had to leave today. She has been gone over 2 months from home. She first went to spend about a month and half with Olivia my sister who just had twin boys. Then...she flew directly here to be with me for 3 weeks. Dad and Abby are ready to have her home!!! Thanks mom...you are the best. We miss you.
