catching up....

Well another month or two has passed since my mom has
gotten around to uploading any pictures,
don't ask me what her excuse is-- it's not like
I'm keeping her all that busy, I'm a perfect angel;)
But here's the latest:

2 months
every month mom thinks she's going to try to take a pic
of me and this silly bear in my crib to see how much
I grow from month-to-month.
I've already got this bear beat!


My two month shots, I'm tough though,
barely even cried!


My buddy Sam and I-- he's a month older than
me but I got him beat in size too already.

my FAVORITE place in the world to sleep....
my carseat (never fails me!)


Daddy changing his first blow out-
and of all places, in the airport!
on the way to see Auntie Nicole and Uncle Eddie in TX!


I was an ANGEL on the plane,
slept the WHOLE way:)
Don't know why my mom and dad were so worried,
they didn't even have to hand out the bag of ear plugs
they brought with for the people sitting around us!!


First time meeting my pretty Auntie Nicole

Mom and dad didn't realize all they had to do
these past few months to keep me quite was to
get me out and about to busy, fun places.
I was a perfect baby in TX:)

My sad face, someone MUST feel sorry for me?!

First time splashing in the ocean
at Galvaston.

Like father like son,
always a beer in hand!
(Mom always seems to have a Beer in her hands too!
but no light Beer, definitely HEAVY!)

 my favorite time of day is in the mornings
when I first wake up,
love to air out and make faces at mom on
the changing table!


daddy's usual drill of walking me around until
I fall asleep!

Me and my "Kuehn" cousins!


mom thinks I look like a little stud in this hat

3 months


my latest pets! 

I'm really enjoying this new toy mom put out for me!

the latest house project daddy and grandpa Beer
are working on.....building a retaining wall with these
big boulders! wish I could help......someday!




my first trial in this thing they call a bumbo,
think it was made by a dumbo!



mommy's practice "photo shoot!"




at least I get to use my cool tools!




hmmmm...what does this one do?!

ok mom, now you did it.....I've had enough.
too many outfit changes and this hat is
TOO tight for my big head!

I keep telling my mommy to take more pictures of the house
and less of me.....hopefully she'll listen to me one of these days!

Brecken TAKES OVER!

The Beer family blog will continue BUT
 the topic of interest may change a little;)

no better place to nap than grandma's shoulder!


I'm so BIG!

my b-day present to my daddy....
the world's greatest carpenter and DADDY!
A man with so many talents....
hope I'm JUST like him someday!



the fireplace guy (Jeremy Sladek!)
making the logs in the fireplace look pretty
and all assembled for when we're ready
to put it to use.
Ready to burn!

daddy putting the finishing touches
in his and mommy's room....
he even made her the frame!





here's a glance at my pouty face,
when I want someone to feel sorry for me
I just stick out my bottom lip, works everytime!

and here's my friend Sam-- his mommy
works with my mommy and he was born 1 month
before me......I'm catching up fast:)
Him and I are gonna be such great pals!
As you can see I wanted the attention to remain
on me so I'm using that big lip trick;)

My cousin Nate likes to hold me.....
UNTIL I start crying, then he's eager to give me away!

Daddy is starting to take over and learn some
tricks to calm me down when I cry....

the trick that works the best is
handing me back to my mommy;)

Auntie Amanda (Whiteis) and daddy were busy
making mommy happy by FINALLY putting up
her "crazy decorations" (as daddy refers to them!)
Mommy was busy bossing around because I wouldn't
let her put me down......I like to cry a lot lately :(

ta-da.... see daddy, it doesn't look so bad!

This is my family on my baptism day

Great-grandma Kuehn made me this beautiful
baptismal gown and auntie Amanda (Whiteis!)
decorated this yummy cake my mommy made,
THANKS LADIES!

this is me and daddy adoring one another

I get this a lot--
people looking at me and smiling....
I don't quite understand it but apparently
 grandma and grandpa
 think I'm something special too

me and daddy hanging out LATE at night!
we're trying to see who can stay up longer...
I usually win:)



Daddy seems to think all mommy and I do
all day is hang out in our robes.....
if he only knew!

I am starting to really like my vibrating/singing
bouncy chair, I especially like to admire the
ceiling mommy and daddy spent so much time
putting up.

I also really like this swing....
it's usually my favorite place to take a nap!


and I like to fight sleep a lot lately too so
it helps when my mommy caresses my cheek

and when I'm in a good sleep there's no waking
me up.....I'm dreaming I'm lane frost and I just
got done riding Red Rock for 8 seconds,
this is my signature move after my defeats!

mommy and daddy had a date night;
but I don't mind because then I get to go
to grandma Beer's house!


our long lost Kansas City friends came to visit:)

and here daddy and I BOTH gave in
at the same time!

mommy and me giggling!

and once again, this is what daddy and I do best...
SLEEP!


daddy always rolls his eyes when he hears
mommy's famous last words....
"I'll just paint it" :)

here's a few examples:
before.

After.
this is my new toy box


before.

after.
mommy painted this table
and this is her FAVORITE clock
(that daddy despises!)


mommy's also a thrifty shopper,
got both these hutches for $100 each!
auntie Sarah scoped out this neat
barn board one for mommy!


some finishing touches:
daddy put the exterior doors on 

and him and his buddies are working
on the outside/landscaping....
stay tuned for the end results!

cousin Brooke testing her babysitting skills...

I'm breaking her in right....
a little spit up won't hurt anything;)
