Beckley's first day at church

here are the Brown boys all ready for church.

Beckley did alright at church...

he cried (of course!),

but a lot of people helped us TRY to calm him down.

he was exhausted by the end of church,

you can't blame him though...

3 hours is a long time!

this picture makes me laugh--

Beckley loves to tilt his head like that

and his little grin is just too cute!

grandmas

firsts

Beckley had a few first over the past week...

-First road trip. we went to So Cal to see my family last weekend. Beck slept pretty much the entire car ride there and back... but, hardly slept the 2 nights we were in So Cal...

on our road trip.

-First Easter. thanks to both grandmas for the Easter gifts!

i know i already posted this picture, but he is just so cute!

-First time he didn't scream during tummy time. although i have tried to be diligent about tummy time, i haven't really because he has hated it so much. so, my mom bought him this fun tummy mat and he loves it.

-First real smiles. one of his first smiles came on our road trip... we had made a stop to feed & change the kid. he was getting a little fussy during the change when i remembered that i made a mini version of his beloved stars. (i just put some of those stickers on a white piece of paper.) so, i pulled out the "travel size" stars and he got the biggest smile on his face! it was so cute! the rest of his, now daily, smiles are mostly at Adrian. his dad is pretty silly and he already knows it!

I was trying to capture him smiling at Adrian being silly in this picture... I didn't quite capture the moment though...

-First time sleeping "through the night"... well, it was only a little over 6 hours, but it was the first time i have felt like i got some "real" sleep since this little guy joined the world. it was a DCT... although, i know it probably won't happen again tonight, or tomorrow, or even the next night... it happened once, so i know it will happen again!

we love this kid!

Puj Tub

Before little Beckley was born, a friend recommended the baby Puj Tub to us. So, Beckley's first bath and everyone since was in the Puj Tub (see pictures below). Although he was upset during his first bath, he now loves bath time in the Puj Tub!

Th Puj Tub is basically a flat piece of soft white styrofoamy material. It has magnetic closures which keep it in the shape to cradle a baby and be placed in a sink. There are also holes in the sides and front of the tub that allow the water to run out. So, I basically but the tub in our sink then turn on the faucet to fill the tub up.

This tub has worked great for us... and Beckley. Beckley is our first child, so we were a bit apprehensive about the whole bath thing. He was also only 5 pounds when we brought him home from the hospital, which added to the apprehension. The Puj Tub has been perfect! I love that I can keep the water running in the sink and still control the water level by adjusting the tubs position in the sink. It is also a soft surface which seems perfect for a newborn. The Puj Tub can be unfolded and becomes flat-- which is great for storage (especially for us as we are jam packed in a 1 bedroom apartment), I hung a hook in our shower and just hang the Puj Tub to dry after each use (the tub comes with a hole to hang it by). We also took the Puj Tub on Beckley's first road trip this past weekend-- when unfolded it took very little space.

The Puj Tub is all I have ever used to bath an infant, but I love it! (and so does Beckley!) He is now almost 9 pounds and it is still working perfectly. I would totally recommend the Puj Tub to friends and family!

Check out the Puj Tub for yourself on Puj's new website exclusively for baby bath tubs!

happy easter!
