What's going on now..

Well, we had Beckett in to have him weighed again this past Friday (the 11th of December) and he's up to 12 lb 7 oz and 62.6 cm!! Another 5 oz in the past week, which is great considering his lack of weight gain up until a month ago.

-He's been "talking" so much this last week, like ALL THE TIME!!
-He's doing much better in his exersaucer now. He reaches for all the toys, and really like to spin the toy with the chickens in it.
-He's STILL wearing size 1 diapers, at 21 weeks old (almost 5 months), but I think this will be the last package. I bought size 1-2 diapers to try the next time.
-He's laughing a lot more now, especially when we tickle him.
-He's starting to reach for food when we're eating, and following it with his eyes.
-He's reaching for our faces a lot, too.
-He's fascinated by the dog, he could watch him run around all day, I swear.

This morning I was in the kitchen and Bevan and Beckett were in the living room, and when I went in to see what they were doing, they were lying under the Christmas tree!! And Milo was sitting there, too, of course.





He's becoming a better napper now, too. But, he is totally a boy who needs a schedule at this point. His first nap usually happens 1 1/2 - 2 hours after he gets up for the day, and his subsequent naps are usually 2 hours after that. If he manages to have 3 naps in the run of a day, he's a happy baby, but if he misses one for some reason, he's pretty cranky. His bedtime right now is 7 o'clock, but if he misses a nap he's pretty tired before then. He's finally starting to show some signs when he's sleepy, like rubbing his eyes and kind of grunting/squirming around.

He's eating every 3 hours or so during the day, and for the last month or so, just as often at night.
