Christmas!

The Christmas season was definitely a fun one, celebrating with our new baby boy, we had many firsts! The following pictures are in reverse order of events, I uploaded them wrong.

Christmas at home in GV on the 26th. Santa visited Beckett while we were out of town!

He got some cool blocks that rattle (see above), blocks that will help him learn his shapes (see below), and lots of books! Santa was good to him, of course, Beckett hasn't had much time to be bad. :)

At NeNe and Papa's house. Santa visited there too and gave Beckett some things in his stocking, he's cool like that.

At grandma and grandpa's house. Santa visited there too! Again, Santa is really cool.

Beckett gave grandma and grandpa a picture of himself. You can only do that up to a certain age...not sure when that is, we'll let grandma and grandpa decide!

Just chillin' with daddy at grandma and grandpa's house. Beckett likes to watch football with daddy.

Beckett got to meet his great grandma Vulgamott! He loved laying on her lap!

Family Christmas picture. Maybe next year we will do the cute Christmas card where the picture is part of the card...this year, just too much to organize!

Mommy Goes to Work

The hardest day of my life - December 14, 2009.

8, 9, and 10 Weeks!

I continue to be amazed at our little man's development. He went to the doctor around 9 weeks to get his vaccines, which happened to be 3 days before Christmas. That was a "first time mom mistake"! I will never again schedule vaccines before a holiday or big weekend! Beckett did amazing, but the shots definitely threw him for a loop and was not himself for the next couple of days. However, he pulled through wonderfully. Beckett weighed in at 12 lbs 6 oz, and is in the 92nd percentile in height at 24 1/2 inches!

He is starting to transition to 3 naps a day by slowly stretching out the length of them. Hopefully this will help him take better naps at the sitter in a week! He is also eating more at each feeding (around 5 ounces), which means he isn't as interested in eating as often. So, we're working on going from 6 bottles down to 5 bottles a day. In a couple of weeks, I am going to experiment with dropping his 10:00 pm bottle. I think he can do it!

"Lil" Beckett is no longer "little" anymore! He is growing like a doctor's dream! Closely approaching 8 weeks (on Dec. 14th), we now think that he is close to 12 lbs! I recently told Zach that I have to use my muscles to pick Beckett up out of his bassinet! Everything is growing from his head, chest, arms, tummy, and legs! His smile is contagious and he is responding to everyone around him (but especially his mommy and daddy)! He's also starting to take longer naps during the day and actually slept through the night last night! He is maturing out of his newborn phase and definitely out of his newborn clothes! Here's a progression of pictures from his birth day. Hope you enjoy viewing these pictures as much as we love taking them! We love you 'lil Beck! Keep growing!
