Our First Post

I really wish I would have started this 6 weeks ago when Beckett was first born, but as a new mother I was just trying to stay alive and awake, so record keeping wasn't top on my list of priorities unfortunately. So I'm saying I'm going to start now, hopefully updated daily or so. We'll see how it goes!!

So, what's going on at 6 weeks at 3 days old??

• Well, in the last week or so Beckett has started making soooo many more sounds. Lots of cooing and noise on top of the crying sounds he knew how to make in the weeks prior!!
  
• We've seen a few more spontaneous smiles in this last week too, although they don't seem to be in response to anything yet.
  
• I'm sure he knows his name now, as when I say it he seems like he looks right at me.
• Still getting up 2-3 times through the night, never sleeping longer than 4 hours at night.
  
• He's still eating every 2 hours or so during the day.
• He seems to be napping a little bit each day around lunch time or so, but I still wouldn't say this is a regular thing as I just let him sleep when he wants to sleep and don't try to force it if he doesn't want to.
• He's working really hard on holding his head up on his own, but it's still a wee bit floppy.
  
• He slept in his crib for the first time 3 nights ago, on Friday, August 28th when he was exactly 6 weeks old.
• When we give him a bottle it's hard to say how much milk he will drink. On Saturday night we gave him 3 oz. and that wasn't quite enough.
  

We're still taking tons of pictures but I wish I could say I was staying on top of the photo editing and organization!!!

Beckett wore his first "grown-up" outfit the other night. He wore a little pair of jeans and a white polo onesie and a cute little pair of white sneakers.



I'm finally getting used to being home with him everyday. I wish I could sleep when he sleeps, but I always find so many other things to do.
