Breaking Beckett

Well, we've been breaking Beckett for two nights now. The first night was tough with a lot of him (and us) waking up, but last night he slept until about 4 and didn't wake up to nurse until about 5:30...and then he went back to sleep for another couple of hours. Not too bad compared to what it has been.

Our New (Temporary) Pad...

...in Austin. We decided to go ahead and get a short-term rental in Austin. Let's just say that Andrea and the boyz are loving it. Mackay even thinks it's big, even though it is just a two-bedroom place...shows you how much space he has had lately!

Of course no sooner than we decided to rent a place in Austin, Marc got a job offer in the Los Angeles area. Now the decision, "Should I stay or should I go?" (sing it if you know the song!). Vote for your option at the right...

Washing the Car

Mackay loves to help Marc wash the car. It's amazing how kids emulate their parents. Whatever we do, they want to do as well. Of course some day they probably won't think we parents are so cool, so we should enjoy it now while they are young and they still think we are cool!

There is nothing quite like the thrill of watching a child enjoy the newness of life in all its forms. Kids are tiring, but they sure are worth it, especially when they look up at you with that sweet smile that makes all of the "dirty diapers" worth it.

I'm not sure who got cleaner in this video, the car or Mackay!

Beckett First Haircut

Andrea finally gave Beckett his first haircut at 14 months. Let's just say he wasn't too into it. It's amazing the difference in the quantity of hair between Mackay and Beckett at the same age (Mackay was two and a half months old when he got his first trim!). I wonder if this trend will continue when they get older. Will Mackay be the kid with the locks while Beckett goes bald? Or with the Lord take away that from he who has and give it to he who has not...will the first be last and the last be first??
