Beaumin Gabriel

And…. the March belated photos. Daddy was working so hard that Mommy and Beau decided to go visit family in Iowa and Missouri… it was perfect timing as they were able to go to Aunt Cindy’s wedding. Beau turned 6 months in March… and sitting up on his own was a big new thing.

After we spent half our time in Des Moines, we dove east to Iowa City to spend time with the Sherman family. That was fun because Great-Grandparents, Aunts, Cousins, and friends all came to visit. All in all, Beaumin did really well on the whole Christmas vacation, except that he didn’t seem to like sleeping away from home. We aren’t sure if that’s because he seemed to be teething at that time, or what.  One important thing, no one else got the flu. 🙂

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.
