We went for Beckett's 2 month needles on Sept 17th. At this appointment he weighed 10lb 7oz!! and was 22" long. He was crying before the nurse gave him the needles (2 in his left leg, 1 in his right) and continued to cry for a minute or so afterwards. Then he just got sleepy. We came home and he had a nap in his crib. Unfortuneatly we also had his 2 month check up with the doctor that afternoon, so I had to wake him from his nap, which led to a VERY cranky baby. He cried the whole time the doctor was in the room again. The doctor said everything looked great, and we were on our way. No more needles or doctors visits until 4 months!!
Beckett has been smiling like crazy, and likes to be talked to. He's been trying very hard to talk back, and is doing lots of cooing. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
He had his first trip to Mommy and Daddy's home town a couple of weekends ago on Sept 18th. He slept for the entire drive home, except for a quick wake for some food!!
He also had his first trip to Cape Breton to meet 2 of his great-grandmothers. Once again, he was a great boy for the driving. We did get stopped at construction a couple of times and he woke up when the car stopped moving.
On the way home we stopped in at St. F.X. and got our picture taken by the "Smile You're At X" sign.
I've been avoiding dairy because I'm thinking Beckett may have a dairy sensitivity. He seems to be having some belly pains lately and I tried giving up dairy, which seemed to help, but have since started eating it again, and his crankiness/pains came back, so we shall try the no dairy thing again.
I took out Beckett's play mat in the last couple of days and he seems to be getting some enjoyment out of laying there and looking at the toys that hang over his head. He particularly likes the mirror/rattle. He's following things with his eyes sooooo much lately, especially Milo!!
The last 2 days have brought about a napping strike, along with which came an increase in night wakings. Even the car hasn't been putting this little guy to sleep lately. He is napping right now, for the first time since Sunday, we'll see how long it lasts. And he's been fighting sleep worse than ever!! Everytime you think he's asleep and put him down in his crib he's awake again within minutes!!
We had our first trip to the apple orchard on Sunday, Sept 30th for their annual Scarecrow festival. Beckett slept through the entire thing in his wrap!! Not many great opportunities for photos, but we have another trip planned on Thanksgiving weekend so we're hoping to get some better ones then.
Anyways, that's all I can think of that needs updating for now. Sorry for the jumpy post, but I had so much to catch up on and didn't want to leave anything out!!
