Cold Bug




Well Allie has officially finished her first cold and fever... what a week! This horrible cold just tore through the Beckenhauer house, all three of us seemed to be sneezing and coughing all week. Needless to say Easter was pretty uneventfull. We did pull ourselves out of bed to go to church and a quick bite to eat but back to the couch we went. I have learned its not easy getting better when you have to wake up every three hours to feed a sick little lady. Allie has been on an amazing schedule of sleeping 8 to 10 hours at a time at night so when she was sick and switched to 3 hours at a time night it does not make it easy to get much better :) But thankfully we are all feeling MUCH better! Allie is getting closer and closer to rolling over and a swear she is getting the nerve to crawl, but we'll see. She has learned that she can do something similar to a back bend and so really thats all she does if she's laying on her back, its pretty funny. Thanks to Nancy Miller for the cute blanket allie is on!

Right now I am trying to figure out how to get her to stop spitting up so much.. Any advice from other moms? She constantly spits up throughout the day and after she nurses I swear she spits up half of what she ate? It doesn't seem to be getting any better, I have tried changing my diet but nothing seems to help?? And she doesn't eat a ton so I know its not from over eating? It doesn't seem to bother her it just drenches her clothes and everything around her :)

With her 'big girl' toys!





Allie is now big enough to play in some of her big toys... She loves sitting in her Bumbo seat while I cook.. she thinks she's so big. Then she got in her jumper and is loving it! If you notice she loves having her mouth wide open, including in her sleep :) I tried to put up videos but I couldn't get it up so for grandmas sake I put it on YouTube. Heres the site if you want to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqZJ3FqQGkE Nothing too exciting just shows how big she's getting.

A day at the Beach




Allie had her first visit to the beach. We made our way down to Galveston Texas last weekend. We enjoyed a couple days in the sun. Allie was wide eyed all weekend soaking in all the sites and sounds. She enjoyed laying at the beach in her 'beach tent' and putting her feet in the water. She is getting bigger and bigger by the day. She is starting to have 'conversations' with us and is belly laughing, which is the best sound ever. She is already turning into a little lady and we are having so much fun in the process.


Hello All. Well I have decided having a blog is the easiest way to keep everyone updated on the Beckenhauer family. Allie is changing by the day and I hope you all can enjoy growing with her. Since we are so many miles from friends and family we hope this can keep us all close. God has truly blessed us with an amazing baby girl who has brought more joy to our lives than we could ever express. If I could say so she is the best baby ever :) We love you all and hope you enjoy some pictures and news on what allie is up to.
