We call him Speed Racer....

... just to be funny. :) I think the jokes and laughing keep it from annoying/embarrasing me. Anyways, here is our "Helmet Holden". He sure didn't like it at first, now onto day three, he's getting used to it.

For anyone interested the helmet is called a StarBand and it's manufactured by OrthoAmerica.
Here is a little snippet from their site:

Video - Holden Laughing

Valentine's Day - 1 year ago!

3 years ago...

... we welcomed our little man, Beckham Jacob Burnside into this world! At 9:09 on February 5th, 2006, he came into this world. Weighing in @ 6 pounds, 13 ounces and 19 inches long, he was absolutely adorable. Changed our lives forever. :) I can't believe my sweet baby boy is THREE years old today!

Smiles.

So the pic is from around Christmas time, but I had to share. I forgot! :D

Baby Einstein

I love Baby Einstein! If it weren't for the single
Baby Van Gogh tape that I have downstairs,
I would have never gotten laundry done last night!
It was Holden's first time watching it, he was crying,
wouldn't eat, wouldn't fall asleep, so finally I decided to put it
into the VCR, and laid him down on the end of the bed,
hoping he'd see it and maybe be enthralled with it,
even if just for a few minutes! Sure enough, he stopped crying...
and started kicking his feet and moving his arms and making little noises.
I loved the few minutes of time I got.
(Even if it was to get some much-needed laundry folding accomplished!)

Caught an adorable smile on camera...

I just had to share.
I was snapping away, and caught this one, by total accident!
I love my little man. He's getting so stinkin' big.

He smiles!

At 4 weeks old, Holden has been smiling off and on when I put my face right next to his...
Last night, I finally caught it on camera:

The Boys' Halloween...

So, this year was fun, we went to quite a few houses,
Beckham loved the whole concept of
knocking on the door/ringing the doorbell and getting candy!
He was so polite, saying "Candy please!" and
"Thank you so, so much!" at each and every house.
It was cute! He was a cowboy this year, and Holden was a play-doh guy....
those ones where you twist the seat and their hair grows.
(I will have to post a link just in case people don't know what I'm talking about.)
Anyways, here's a few pics.
I wish we had a better one of the two of them, but we don't. :(



Holden, our hair-growin' play-doh man:



Beckham, the rootin', tootin' cowboy:



The only shot we got of the two of them.
(I guess I should always check the camera
when it's Jake taking the pics!)



Our first house:




And some bonus (aka: not Halloween themed) shots
because Holden will be 3 weeks old tomorrow!


He's getting such strong neck muscles!


Snoozing on the office chair:


Visiting Dad's work:


His "I'm annoyed with being on my tummy" face:


Hanging out on the couch before his bath:

My new absolute favorite picture of the little munchkin:


Watch for another post with some hilarious
pics of Beckham! I feel pretty bad, because it seems
like I never take pictures of him anymore! :(
Bad mom award my way...
