Mall Rat

I never thought I'd be one to wake up before 10am unless I had to be at work. It's crazy how much life changes once you have a baby. It's more than just making bottles and changing diapers... I actually have to wake up when the little booger tells me to too! Yesterday I was up by 7am, running errands to five different places by 8am and on my way to Baton Rouge by 11am. Say what?!

My friend Amanda had never been to the Mall of Louisiana so we took a trip to spend the day out there with our babies. We were rushing around so much when we were trying to leave that we totally forgot to bring Ariel's stroller! Fortunately, they had the cute little car strollers in the mall, and Ariel was extra cute sitting up in it because she's so small.

On the way home from the mall, we stopped at my Paw Paw's house for a visit. He lives out in the boonies so I haven't been there in a while, but we had a really great time chatting and watching the babies. Below is a picture of my Paw Paw's wife, Laurie holding Beckham. He was fighting his sleep the whole time she held him.

This morning, Beckham and I went to the mommy group again. He was weighed there and he is now 10 lbs 1 oz. They had babies there that are only 2-4 weeks old and Beckham looks so big next to them! Below is a pic of him smiling there.

Before we left to go to the mommy group, I was playing with Beckham with a dinosaur that my mom bought him at the zoo the other day, and I took this pic right as he was starting to sneeze. It's so funny because it looks like he's scared of the dinosaur!

After the group, Gina and I took Beckham and Leah to the mall, and I spent all of my birthday money on him. hehe. I did so good yesterday but I just couldn't help myself anymore! Here's a stroller pic of Beckham and Leah!
