May 15, 2009
7 lbs 9 oz. 19" long

Mom and baby are doing great. Both are now recovering in the hospital room. Thanks to Dr. Daum, the staff at Mansfield Methodist and all of Beckham's aunts, uncles and grandparents who came to join the festivities or called to wish a speedy delivery. Here's a few more pictures:

And yes, for all of you who are wondering, Beckham has alreay pee'd on Dad during his first diaper change! :)

The BIG day!!!

Tomorrow is the day we go from a family of three to a family of four!!! I am scheduled to report to the hospital at 7 a.m. to begin the induction process. I am anxiously excited. As much as I want to feel complete serenity about the upcoming events there is something about having to push another human out my body that does not allow me to be exactly worry free but, all in all... I am ready!

I can't help but think of how different tomorrow and everyday after that will be for our family. I hope I am ready for this enormous change.

Baby Boy Boyce: I hope I love you. I hope I enjoy you. I hope you are healthy. I hope I can meet your needs. I hope you come out easily. :) I really hope you are healthy. I hope we can decide on a name for you. I hope to be a good mom to you. I hope you will always know of the unconditional love that your mom and dad have for you.
See you soon!!!

What a "crappy" morning!!!

This morning began at about 6:30, when Sophia began talking in her crib. I rolled over looked at the clock and decided it was too early for her to wake-up since she went to sleep at 8:00p.m. last night. (she typically sleeps twelve hours) So being a lazy parent I let her talk for about half an hour before she fell back asleep.

Thank goodness, right!?

That is what I thought too, until about 8:15a.m. when I entered her room to start our day (Aaron had already left for work). I was met at the door with an overpowering aroma of poop. I entered the room and found Sophia covered in poop!! The poor little girl was smiling up at me while trying to wipe up the poop with her little blankie! It was awful - I had to run out of the room several times to get sick while trying to clean her up. An hour and a half later, and just in time for play group to show up at my door, I finished disinfecting Sophia, the bedding, the crib, the bathtub, the sink and lastly myself.

Oh the joys of parenting!

Happy Birthday Sophia

Sophia turned eighteen months old yesterday. She keeps us on our toes and despite her lack of verbal communication she is signing like crazy. I am amazed daily of how much she is able to learn. Here are some recent photos of her.



I took her to get her very first haircut last week. I thought she was going to hate it but, I was wrong. She loved sitting in the car and threw the biggest tantrum when it was time to go. The next two are pictures of Sophia around the house .

Recent Photos!

This is the adorable almost eighteen month old smile we get from Sophia when we ask her to smile for a picture!!!

Package from Grandma!!!

Renee and David sent a wonderful package to us recently and Sophia played in the box all night long. Aaron puled her around the living room turning sharply, sending Sophia tumbling out. Renee, we loved everything you sent and appreciate all the love and effort you put into each item. For future reference, Sophia only needs a box!!! :) Oh the simplicity of being a kid!
