Beaumin Gabriel

Once we finally made it to Iowa, it was time to hang out with the Duhn family for Christmas in Des Moines! We had a great time, except when Daddy got the 24-hour flu and was in bed from late Christmas Eve through the morning of the day after Christmas. Everyone was a good sport, though, and we had Christmas a day late, when Daddy felt MUCH better.

Mommy and Daddy have been somewhat delinquent in putting up photos of the last few months… So, finally here are some new goodies!

December was rather exciting as Beaumin continued to grow more interactive, developing his personality, strength and motor skills. Also, he got to see his first snowfall, in Portland of all places! We got dumped on enough that we had to spend a night in the Portland airport, then another night in the Chicago airport due to missing our connecting flight.

Beaumin was a real trooper though! He handled the airports and airplanes better than Stephanie and I. We were exausted, he was just happy as a clam to be held 24×7 for a couple of days.

He is not always a fan, but Beau is getting much better at tummy time.  It’s so amazing to watch him get stronger and stronger.  He’s even starting to enjoy being on his tummy, or so we think. (more…)

In general, Beaumin is a happy baby.  Of course he has his moments of fussiness (don’t we all), but he’s usually good-natured.  He’s definitely developing his personality and what a joy to watch!  We’ve captured several happy moments.  (more…)
