I really feel like Beckett is doing something new everyday now. He's so funny.
He's really trying to get the hang of his jolly jumper now.
He's grabbing for the face of who ever is holding him.
If you hold food in front of him, he dives for it with his mouth open (I think he may be trying to tell us something). Maybe Mommy and Daddy will give him some rice cereal and bowls/spoons for Christmas.
Yesterday he was sitting on my lap, leaning on me, and he totally sat himself up.
And as of yesterday he's officially 5 months old!! Wow!!
During nap time in one of the next few days I promise to update some pictures!

Remembering
Just sitting here thinking back to the day Beckett was born and I'm not sure I ever wrote about how we felt that day, other than excited, of course. I remember when we went to the hospital that morning I totally didn't think I was in labour, so we weren't thinking anything other than how much it sucked that I had a kidney stone at this point in my pregnancy. The drive to the hospital was pretty brutal. I was pretty uncomfortable and remember feeling like it was taking forever for the light at the superstore to change from red to green. When we got to the hospital Bevan dropped me off at the doors to the ER and then went and parked the car. I went in and when I went to the desk to register, I told them I thought I had a kidney stone, but I think since I was pregnant they just sent me to the maternity floor anyways. You know the rest of the story...about how shocked everyone was - including the nurse - when the doctor said I was 4 cm. I guess when we got into the car to go home we were still thinking that it could be any length of time before the baby was actually born, so we were kind of freaking out, but not too bad yet! It was when we were leaving the house to go back to the hospital that afternoon that reality set it - the next time we came home we would have a baby with us!!! Wow!! That's a pretty crazy feeling, to leave the house as 2 people, but return as 3!!! Just wanted to make sure I recorded this, as I want to remember how life changing that moment really was!
So happy to see Daddy
Bevan came home for lunch today, and Beckett was sooooo excited to see him. As soon as he walked through the door Beckett's face lit up, and he giggled. He's never really done that before, it was so cute!

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.
