Chuck E. Cheese

Our Friday night consisted of BBQ chicken pizza, drinks, 50 Chuck E. Cheese tokens, and a whole lot of fun.

(Kayden's way of playing arcade games)

Kayden couldn't stop looking around at all of the different colored lights flashing everywhere and fun noises. His favorite game was in the "toddler area" and it was a driving game. He also couldn't get enough of the ride on toys. But most of all he loved that he could run everywhere, touch anything, and everything was at his eye level.





























Dave and I even had a blast playing some games and earning tickets :) We definitely found a new activity to do during the last month or so of the heat

37 weeks

37 weeks is finally here... Dave and I decided on the name Jaxson Broc Beckstrand. You can call him: Jaxson, Jax, J, Jack.

He is measuring only about a week off but his right leg is about 2 weeks behind haha. There is plenty of fluid in with him so my doctor is completely confident that I won't need a C-sec with the cord problem. I'm only dilated to a 1 but hopefully all the stairs I run in a day will speed that up :)

I'm holding him so high, it's kind of a nice feeling since with Kayden I was so low I couldn't walk at like 35 weeks. I am extremely lucky and really haven't gotten too swollen. Once again, it' s a nice change!

Kayden knows something is going on and isn't too sure about it. It's probably one of my big fears with this pregnancy that he won't like Jaxson but he really likes other baby's so I guess only time will tell.

Really, 18 months?

Kayden is now 18 months old!! He does so many funny things and keeps me entertained all day long, not to mention busy : )

He weighs close to 20 lbs and is 28 1/2 inches long.
- He knows a lot of words because he will follow almost every direction I give him to do but will only say: Bow wow, momma, dad, shoe, where is it, and that's about it.
- He is extremely obedient and really smart. He comprehends things SUPER fast
- He LOVES playing outside and in the hose.
- Loves "Little Piggies"
- His laugh is contagious and when he gets in front of a camera he smiles nice and big, says "EE", and then you have a matter of 5 seconds to hide that camera or he's coming after it. He loves to look at pictures of himself and videos.
- He is extremely stubborn and if we ask him to say a word he won't say ANY words for the next couple of days.
- He gets picked on almost everywhere we go and it usually ends in him being thrown by another kid. Dumb Kids, just wait.
- He gets really frustrated because his body is like 10 months behind of where his mind is.
- He is an ORGANIZER!! Loves to put things away and stack toys on top of each other.
- He absolutely loves The Wiggles and asks for them multiple times a day.
- Loves the fan being turned on then off, on and off.
- Loves playing in dirt but hates getting dirty haha.
- Loves cuddling with DAD only, at night time (if he wakes up)
