LISA'S BACHELORETTE PARTY

Lisa's bachelorette party was a HUGE success! We did held it down the Cape in Hyannis. I was super stressed leading into the weekend worrying if the weather would be good or we had enough activates planned. In the end it was just perfect. My phone was full so I basically have no pictures. I attached the itinerary below if anyone is looking for a bachelorette weekend. On the way out we got a fried basket Seafood Sam's, Mermaid Taffy (peanut butter and fluff is out of this world), and milkshakes at Maryanne's Coffee. Only thing I would have added to this weekend; after the boat cruise we attempted to go to Sundea School but there were lines 30 cars deep to get in. That place is one of my happiest childhood memories. So fun being back down the Cape, we are planning a family get-a-way there for next summer!

BECKETT IS SIX MONTHS

My little baby is six months! How did this happen?!
Beck just started sitting and crawling! He seems so much more advanced than the girls were (especially poor Lydia). He is strong, has been making eye contact for months, passing objects between his hands and chewing everything in his path! He just broke his two bottom teeth last week. I cant believe how much this little guy eats! He sometimes will drink a full 8 oz bottle. Beckett is 50% height and weight, which confuses me because he seems so much bigger than that. His adorable little personality is already developing. He loves to look around and is so curious/ nosy. We haven't started feeding him solids mostly because our nanny situation is a disaster and I don't think she could handle feeding him solids. He is still sleeping through the night although he has woken up at 6am, hungry a few times lately. Beckett is SUPER happy and giggly. He loves when I nuzzle my nose into his neck and kiss him. He cracks up every time we play peek-a-boo or hide behind his crib and pop up. I'm so happy to have this little guy part of my family. We love you Beckett!


^^6 months stats: 50%/50%

^^bow ties at church!

^^teeth! that he didn't want to show me
