Long awaited post

Things that we have been up to. Well our computer was on the fritz so I couldn't upload any photo's let alone use my computer. So I have been using Justin's work one until we get a new one. We had his 6 month check up he weighs 18pds and 9oz, 27.5 inches long and going strong. He loves to eat if you cant tell, anything that he can put into his mouth, from hair to his own diapers.
We go to the pool a lot Beau likes to drink the chlorine in particular. It's nice to have a pool near us to get out of the heat and cool off.
We have gone to the park, Beau just likes to watch all the little kids run around him, he starts to squeal and get really excited.
This is a trick Smitty has been working on with Beau since his legs were stable enough, he gets really excited when he does this with his dad. Smitty said he is starting to get to heavy to hold him with one hand, so now he has to use both.

Took Beau to a Rangers Dodgers Baseball game a couple of weeks ago. Not a good experience, he screamed and cried the entire time. He did not like the music, crowd of people, or the fire works can you tell by his face how happy he was. So concerts, baseball games, anything really loud wont be in our future for a while.

Beau has finally mastered sitting up by himself he has been sitting for the last 3 weeks but not with out his support of his Boppy. This is an older pic hence the Boppy behind him. He is so much fun right now, he can imitate certain faces that you make at him. He giggles all the time at the silliest things. He is also a lot more work, he has quite the little attitude when he is grumpy or you take a toy away(yikes)!
Any who I'll try to keep up on the blog, next up our trips home.

5 Months

I cant believe this guy is 5 months old. Can I just say I love this stage of his life, he is so much fun and his personality just keeps shining through. Some of his favorite things right now: His mommy, yes he is a mommas boy( I love it). Beau love his walker, he flies around our hard wood floors with it. Plastic bottles filled with a cold liquid so he can suck on them(teething). Daddy time, when Smitty walks through that door from work Beau gets a huge smile and he knows what time it is. Bath time is Beau's favorite time of the day he likes to splash and pee in the water.
He is so much fun Smitty and I just cant get enough of our little "Beau Beau".
This is Beau's infamous picture face, "Deer in head lights". We can never get him smiling when we get the camera out, I think the flash distracts him.
He looks like quite the porker in this pic, Smitty and I think he weighs at least 17 to 18 pounds.

To Big

I set Beau in his bouncer for 2 seconds and I turned around and this is how I found him. You could say he doesn't like his bouncer anymore.

4 Months

Here are some quick Easter photo's of the little guy he looked so darn cute in his Easter outfit that I couldn't help myself. As you can see he pretty much has the same facial expressions in all of his photo's.
A quick update on his "Stats". He weighs 16pds 3oz, 77% for his age, and is 25inches tall 56%. So he is average and chunky. We are also starting to notice some hints of red in his hair, you can definitely see it in the picture above. The first picture it looks brown, so it will be interesting to see what color of hair and eyes he ends up with.

Smith's have come to Texas

We were so lucky to have Smitty's family come down for a quick impromptu visit. We love when our family can come out and enjoy our good weather, and see the "Beau Beau". Here are some pics from there visit. Above is our favorite cousin Lu Lu, who Beau is always entertained by as are we.
Papa "G" and Beau waiting for there meal at "Bobs", which was so yummy as usual.
Beau with Mimi and Papa "G". Beau was looking at something but we are not quite sure what, must of been the jumbo shrimp.
Thanks for coming out Mimi, Papa "G", Brenden, Shea, and Lu Lu. We miss you guy's and will see ya soon!

SuperMom

Normally Ariel is the one doing the posts for our family, and actually she does a whole host of other things that many times go unnoticed. So I thought I would say that she is a wonderful wife and mother. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, finances, vacation, extended family, DVR, Birthday's (best German Chocolate ever!), holidays, baby, baby, baby and best friend are all things she's the best at... I am a lucky guy and Beau's a lucky baby. Thanks Ariel, love Smitty and Beau.

Rollin

Can you believe this little guy finally rolled over all by himself? On Sunday after many day's of attempting to roll over to his tummy he finally accomplished his goal. The only problem is he doesn't know what to do when he is on his stomach and he cant roll back the other way, so we have to help him.
I also just wanted to wish Smit a happy B-day today 27! We love you and know how much you loved your gifts from everyone. Especially your wife's who supports the most time consuming sport, that takes up an entire day of trying to find your balls(jk, that was a little golf joke everyone).
