My HEART ATTACK!!!

Tonight I was more scared than I have ever been in my life!!! We went to Sears to get a chest freezer because my parents brought us over about a hundred pounds of meat. We were checking out and Jax ran away from us. I waited just a second thinking he'd come back, but when he didn't I went looking for him. He was NOWHERE to be found. Of course I started freaking out, and the sales clerk and Ryan started helping me look for him. I was yelling his name and running all over the top floor of the store like a madwoman, but he wasn't answering me. After a minute, they sent out a store wide announcement looking for him, and all of the sales personnel started helping us look for him. Still he was NOWHERE to be found. All of the customers around started searching for him also, and Sears posted managers at all the exits to make sure he couldn't leave by himself or with anyone. At this point, I really started freaking. I am definitely not someone to depend on in a crisis, we have learned. I started running around even more frantically screaming, all the while hyperventilating and I had tears running down my face. Finally, one of the customers found him hiding in a cubby behind a shelf. I have heard parents talk about these experiences, but this is my first. When we got to the exit, I grabbed him and hugged him as hard as I could, while sobbing of course. He didn't get what the big deal was. He said he could hear me yelling for him, but he was hiding. I get what they mean when they say you want to hug them and kill them at the same time. The whole ordeal only lasted a little over ten minutes, but I think I aged ten years in that time. I have to say, Sears was great about it. They have a great plan in place for lost children! Now I see why they are the "place America shops"!

***Congrats to my sis-in-law Leigh and bro-in-law Austin, who welcomed baby girl McKenna yesterday!!!***

***Beckham had his six month appointment today. He measures at 28 1/2 inches (100%), 17 lbs 4 oz (50%), and head cir. of 44 cm (55%). Apparently we have a really big boy! She even measured him twice, but Dr. Rose still thinks the nurse must have over-measured him and he is probably just over the 95%, but whatev. Either way he's perfect:). Right now he's a champ roller (he uses this as his mode of transportation anywhere he wants to go), and he is a tripod sitter (he uses his hands as support). He's turned into a huge Momma's boy, which works for me because Jax is such a Daddy's boy.
