Maryland Trip

Beckham and I were lucky enough to go to Maryland on September 1-13 to spend some time with my family out there!  It was so fun :)  We did so many fun things, including a visit to the pentagon, dinners at my favorite places, dance parties and a trip to the National Zoo! 
When we first got there Beckham was excited (and a little confused) to see his family!  He loved his grandma's braces and snuggled with his grandpa for a good five minutes... if you know this kid you know this is SO out of the ordinary and it was SO cute! 
We loved just hanging out at the house and spent much time dancing, watching Rio, swinging in the hammock, playing on the floor with his aunt and uncles and napping *swoon*.  I was able to take a nap pretty much whenever I wanted and that was pure joy! 
On September 10, Beckham said his first word!  He's babbled "dada" for months now but he actually waved and said "HI!"  It was so cute :) 
On September 11, we went to the Pentagon to visit Dad.  It was so neat going inside.  My favorite part was being in the part of the building where the plane hit.  Right at the impact point there is a room dedicated to those whose lives were lost.
We were definitely sad to go, but we'll see them in November.  There will be so many exciting things happening around that time!!  Our baby will be born, Jared will turn 29, Beckham will turn 1 (!!!!) and my little brother will be off on his mission to Chile!
