Read about Abby's first full game of play/shutout!!!

Johnson's

Sorry in advance if this post is weird/too much unwanted information.So since switching around to test all the nursing pads out there I think I have found the best ones. I started with Lansinoh, but didn't like the large tape areas...they are pretty pointless since I have a layer between the pad and my bra. I then tried Playtex ones which had a little smaller tape area and were cheaper. Then in an emergency run to CVS, Jeremy (yes he is a gem) came home with Johnson's brand because it was all they had...and i couldn't be happier! If you are planning to breastfeed for the first time at some point or again in the future then try them! They are smaller (who needs all that pad anyway), they are softer (even though they still have the diaper style absorbency), the tape area is very small, they are not folded up and wrapped in packaging but are instead stacked in the box (no more funky bumps/lines to deal with), and are cheaper than both the other brands.

We've created...

a monster. Well more like the Loch Ness monster of our Scottish heritage if anything. I can't give Beckett a bath without letting him have his swimming time for a good 5 minutes afterward at least.

Shark Week

...is long since over (sadly). But I have to post the pictures of Beckett because he totally rocked his first shark week with his shark blanket, pj's, and sunglasses (I know you can't really see, but there are sharks on the lenses!).

Swimming!

Beckett loved his first time swimming! We tried dunking him, and he liked it the first time, but not so much the second (which is sadly the only one we got on film). Haha.

Dishes

I'm trying to post about some fun things that happened this summer before I forget about them. One weekend our family of 7 (Abby stayed behind for soccer) took a quick trip down to the Mexico house. Of course, no trip to Baja is complete without stopping by Tacos Cantamar for some tacos and tortas. We arrived as they were cleaning up and getting ready to close, but they love my dad so they got their food back out and started cooking for us. Since we caused them delay in shutting down my dad decided to help them get out of there quicker by doing our dishes for them when we finished eating. We were all dying of laughter and had to take a picture because it was strange seeing some 6'2" white guy doing dishes in the back of a roadside food stand in Mexico!

A Toy For...Beckett??

So one day my mom, Arica, and I found this stuffed animal style camera for a few bucks at Ross. It makes a shutter sound when you press the button on top...that's it. Once we decided to buy it I soon came to realize that Arica and Abby probably would have more fun with that thing than Beckett may ever have. They would stand by you, say smile, pull it from behind their backs, press the button, shift poses, and take some more "pictures". It is pretty hilarious. Good times.
