Yes - Beckham is inside the pumpkin! We took him to a pumpkin patch near our home and picked out a pumpkin just for him (or rather one he would fit in!). Oh the things you'll do for a good picture!
It’s hard to believe – Beckham is already a month old! Everyone said it would go by so fast… why is that the truth?!?! Justin and I feel so blessed – Beckham is such a good baby. He’s on a good three hour schedule… eat, play, sleep (lots of it!).
We had my friend, Shem, come over to the house and take his one month old pictures. My nephew, Jakson, was also in town. My mom made them a matching outfit and hats and we wanted to get some pictures of them together. She did a fabulous job – they turned out beautiful! Being a new mom, I learn something new every day. On this particular day, I learned there are challenges when trying to take a baby’s picture. They don’t always cooperate! My son is not a fussy baby – he makes a lot of noises, but he really doesn’t cry unless he has a super-messy diaper or needs to eat. All this to say, on picture day he was NOT himself. He cried and cried. I’m sure it was all the outfit changes, the obnoxious hats and the pumpkin I made him sit in! (Come to find out Beckham was on the verge of getting sick – he had a low grade fever and a stuffy nose. Poor little man.)
Becks did not want to be without his pacifier – not exactly the “prop” I had in mind for his photo shoot! I would pull the pacifier from his mouth and quickly step aside so Shem could snap some photos before he started to cry again! Shem was so patient and captured some great photos in spite of this. Becks also did not want to curl up in a ball like newborns do – something else that’s very unusual. Many of you know Beckham was a Frank Breech baby which means his legs were up by his head. He was literally a sandwich! For the last month, he’s been in a little ball with his legs up! I’m not sure what happened on picture day – but he decided to try a new position! Oh well, it’s a day I will never forget!
Here’s a look at some of the pictures she took. They were taken in our backyard – I’ve never been so happy to live in “The View”!
My mom knitted this pumpkin hat for Beckham. It’s so cute on him!!!
I knitted this elf hat for Beckham. Justin thinks it's ridiculous - but I just had to have it for pictures!
Beckham and Cousin Jakson who is 7 months old. Beckham is wearing an outfit Justin wore when he was 3 months old. Needless to say, it's a little big but wanted him to wear it anyway because my mom copied it and made one for Jakson.
Shem is so creative. The light inside the house wasn’t very good so we decided to move outside. Shem had a vision to move one of my chairs outside – what a great idea! One man’s trash is another’s treasure (thank you Jordan and Paige!).
Beckham loves to cuddle and sleep on my chest. It’s the sweetest thing ever!
