For our family, the blog has unfortunately become a bit forgotten and cumbersome. A bit like the old photos in the box in the attic, the blog will always be a great memory and was a wonderful tool that helped us connect with so many friends!

It was a great time to relax and enjoy some family time away from the worries of work! It was also great because Lucy loved both the beach and the pool.

Lucy is growing up so fast and is tons of fun. She is a little sponge and is learning new things and new words every day! She's also learning new ways to get what she wants from her parents.....<br /><br />We thought it was about time to post a new video of Lucy! Enjoy!<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QnYsAihmL5M" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>Chris and Melissa Beahmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662131453838722404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26780571.post-12615353378684400602010-12-19T13:19:00.004-05:002010-12-19T13:41:22.508-05:00Buried Treasure...This will be the third blog in a row with some reference to Cheerios. Something about toddlers and their favorite snack food that makes life so interesting...<br /><br />The other day I gave Lucy her snack cup of Cheerios to tie her over until lunch. Recently, I have found her favorite place to sit is right by our front windows, nestled up by the heating vent and the Christmas tree. I didn't really think anything of it...figured she liked the hot air from the vent, the smell of the Christmas tree...or watching people pass by on the sidewalk.<br /><br />A few minutes passed and Lucy rejoined me in the kitchen asking for more food - presenting an empty snack cup. I figured she had given most to Bailey - so I refilled a few more Cheerios in the cup and followed her to make sure she ate her snack rather than giving it to the dog (see previous blog regarding feeding Bailey her snack). She took her cup and ran back to her favorite spot. This time, I watched as she took out a few Cheerios, held them out - and dropped them. "Clang...Clang...Clang" I heard....<br /><br />Then it dawned on me...THE AIR VENT!!!! So I watch her again. She smiles big, looks at me....grabs a few more Cheerios. Then she looks down into the air vent - and drops another few in. I closed the air vent and proceeded to use it as a teaching event to not do this in the future. As you can see from the pictures below - it took a while (and several hand-fulls of Cheerios) to get her to understand she should not drop Cheerios down the vents.<br /><br />To wrap up this funny story - I got out my vacuum, and fed the hose down the air vent to clean out the few Cheerios. The "few" Cheerios turned into a buried treasure of ~50 that I sucked out with the vacuum. I think this had been going on for a few days....<br /><br />Enjoy the pictures below. Life is always an adventure with a toddler. :)<br /><br />-Chris<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/TQ5Q8Iy4aRI/AAAAAAAADpU/J3mhXtdIIh0/s1600/DSC_0227.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/TQ5Q8Iy4aRI/AAAAAAAADpU/J3mhXtdIIh0/s400/DSC_0227.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552464384677669138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/TQ5Q8XXkxDI/AAAAAAAADpc/ImQFs8Jax5I/s1600/DSC_0229.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/TQ5Q8XXkxDI/AAAAAAAADpc/ImQFs8Jax5I/s400/DSC_0229.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552464388589667378" /></a>Chris and Melissa Beahmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662131453838722404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26780571.post-41619089802746988722010-10-16T22:33:00.009-04:002010-10-16T23:08:08.656-04:00Viral Marketing!Sometimes the internet can be a funny thing....tonight I logged onto our website to check out the "website analytics." Basically it is who is viewing your site and how much. You can typically find out a viewer's "city" and their view count.<br /><br />So enough with the internet marketing lesson, and on to the funny story! So I was checking out my analytics when I noticed something funny. Typically our family videos get a few hundred views - but the latest one was off the charts with over 1200 independent viewers! WOAH...So I started doing my investigation. I noticed in my references that most views were coming from a Cheerios owned facebook site. I followed the rabbit hole and found the reason!<br /><br />Someone in Cheerios (probably a social media analyst) stumbled across our video/blog and reposted it on their site! BOOM....viewership explosion! Anyway - if you want to "rewatch" the video or see the comments we got - follow the link below! Our favorite comment voiced concern over germs since Bailey licked Lucy's hand. :) Germs in our house...Melissa would not allow it!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=162006779825&share_id=162051403821388&comments=1#s162051403821388">Link to Cheerios Facebook Site</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=162006779825&share_id=162051403821388&comments=1#s162051403821388"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 188px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/TLpj-K-pJSI/AAAAAAAADoc/yLfNpVe0XJ8/s400/Screen+shot+2010-10-16+at+10.32.02+PM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528841412300842274" /></a>Chris and Melissa Beahmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662131453838722404noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26780571.post-2724985518246950342010-09-15T23:18:00.002-04:002010-09-15T23:25:20.354-04:00Cheerios....As I've stated in my previous posts, Lucy and Bailey are best friends. It's funny that we even spent any time worrying about how the two would interact! Check out the video below; it tells the WHOLE story!

She's 15 Month's old, and some days I feel she runs as fast as I do! We are always chasing her around the yard, the house, and anywhere we take her!! It was the right time to introduce her to the park! We recently got to hang out at the park with some friends, where we learned that she LOVED the slide.<br /><br />Enjoy the short video below of Lucy on the slide - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag4n4kM0sak">or click the link to see it fullscreen</a>!

It was an awesome week filled with family, fun and of course food! We had 3 sets of Beahms together for the week in South Carolina!<br /><br />We started the week in Charleston visiting Michael & Lynn. They were amazing hosts and we had a great time seeing their new place! We finished up the week in Pawley's Island at my parent's beach house. There were quite a few games of "Settlers of Catan" - and I have to shout out to Melissa who won 2 games!!!<br /><br />Lucy had an a great time and despite trying to eat the sand, she loved the beach! We had the chance to get some great family pictures and enjoy a few sunsets at the water's edge. <a href="ttp://picasaweb.google.com/cmbunc/BeahmBeachTrip?feat=directlink">Click here if the slide show does not play</a>.<br /><br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="600" height="400" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fcmbunc%2Falbumid%2F5495797034284761601%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>Chris and Melissa Beahmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662131453838722404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26780571.post-15086962868746860402010-07-04T22:34:00.000-04:002010-07-04T22:35:04.808-04:00Summer fun....It's been an awesome summer so far.

In honor of the incredible weather, I took her out to Umstead Park today for a little adventuring! We only went about 5 miles, but it was enough to enjoy the woods, the stream, and the sun! Enjoy the pictures below (or <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/cmbunc/HikingAtUmstead?feat=directlink">click the link</a> if necessary).<br /><br />For any hiking parents out there, I have to say the Kelty child carrier is incredible.

Lucy is talking, walking, and can say her ABCs. Ok..so maybe not that much, but it has been an exciting month! Melissa started working again, which means I get to spend one day a week with Lucy by myself. It's typically saturdays, and I've learned to both appreciate those saturdays and the fun I get to have with my daughter as well as appreciate all that Melissa does for Lucy on a normal day! :)<br /><br />Lucy has a lot more control of her hands and feet and has even been known to hold her own bottle (see picture below). She is making a lot more sounds than she used to - but none are intelligible yet - we'll have to wait a few more months....Well, enjoy the pictures!

Sometimes, it only takes a smile to put things back in perspective. Lucy's smile melts me to my core - helps me re-prioritize what's truly important.

Amazing!! She is growing up more and more every day! Recently, She blessed us with a beautiful smile. Now all the books tell me it is probably just coincidence or gas, but I like to think it is because she is having such an amazing time with her parents.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/Skbjn6QSKLI/AAAAAAAABzY/GvqncmeAUuc/s1600-h/DSC_0049.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/Skbjn6QSKLI/AAAAAAAABzY/GvqncmeAUuc/s320/DSC_0049.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352215481968371890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/Skbjovd3MfI/AAAAAAAABzo/jFbYAJfwdQI/s1600-h/DSC_0032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/Skbjovd3MfI/AAAAAAAABzo/jFbYAJfwdQI/s320/DSC_0032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352215496252404210" /></a><br />Bailey, our other baby is doing a lot better! He was pretty depressed for a few weeks, but he is slowly getting back to his old self. He has been very gentle with Lucy and has been amazing during this transition. He just turned 6 years old this week too! Hopefully he and Lucy will grow to be best pals!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SkbjoNlZdrI/AAAAAAAABzg/2KlhADqL1Ak/s1600-h/DSC_0407.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SkbjoNlZdrI/AAAAAAAABzg/2KlhADqL1Ak/s320/DSC_0407.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352215487157204658" /></a><br /><br />I've updated our photo albums with some pictures from our last 2 weeks!

Regardless of these, we went on our nightly walk. This routine is great not only to keep us in shape, but it puts Lucy RIGHT to sleep (in daddy's arms). Just priceless.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SkbmkIjLGTI/AAAAAAAAB0M/0Wsh2l3lvL4/s1600-h/DSC_0051.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SkbmkIjLGTI/AAAAAAAAB0M/0Wsh2l3lvL4/s320/DSC_0051.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352218715621103922" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SkbmkaVkNWI/AAAAAAAAB0U/BlHs3D0cHWE/s1600-h/DSC_0055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SkbmkaVkNWI/AAAAAAAAB0U/BlHs3D0cHWE/s320/DSC_0055.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352218720395867490" /></a>Chris and Melissa Beahmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662131453838722404noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26780571.post-30746446529339944312009-06-18T18:33:00.004-04:002009-06-18T18:52:21.797-04:00Wears My Baby?So one of the things that you learn quickly as a parent is how to do things while holding a baby. Make coffee while holding the baby, feed the dog while holding the baby, and even type an email while holding the baby. One arm holding baby, one arm frantically trying not to spill the coffee.<br /><br />This week we ventured into the "sling" world. Amazingly it is not some parallel universe or high tech baby device. It is something that has been around for centuries, dare I say millennia. A sheet and a few rings. So, I must say that we are now fans.<br /><br />While I have read it makes your baby smarter, stronger, and builds a tighter familiar bond - I cannot vouch for any of that yet. BUT I can say that I now have 2 free hands and made dinner and typed this blog with amazing speed.<br /><br />Thanks to my sister Jenny for gifting us some hand crafted slings and for teaching us the way of the mighty sling. I believe it is often called the art of "wearing your baby." <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SjrEHcxpdKI/AAAAAAAABm4/6v-_-UfnyFA/s1600-h/DSC_0581_2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 307px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SjrEHcxpdKI/AAAAAAAABm4/6v-_-UfnyFA/s320/DSC_0581_2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348803139718444194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SjrEH4Q10YI/AAAAAAAABnA/DPmKdJhWZ-Q/s1600-h/DSC_0571.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/SjrEH4Q10YI/AAAAAAAABnA/DPmKdJhWZ-Q/s320/DSC_0571.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348803147097035138" /></a>Chris and Melissa Beahmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662131453838722404noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26780571.post-83782910886119134592009-06-10T07:46:00.003-04:002009-06-10T07:54:20.141-04:00Lots more pictures of Lucy!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/Si-dwpd9G1I/AAAAAAAABjU/mY3Na_Or8L4/s1600-h/DSC_0335_2_2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjzO4vwhcEI/Si-dwpd9G1I/AAAAAAAABjU/mY3Na_Or8L4/s400/DSC_0335_2_2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345664741802842962" /></a><br /><br />Hey everyone!
