It's amazing to me how quickly the hours of the day fly by when you have an infant. It is a constant cycle of feeding him and changing him only to start it all over again...and then with the holidays...you know how that goes. But I certainly don't mean to complain...I am truly loving every minute of it. It's just that when I finally have a free minute or two I seem to spend it trying to catch up on laundry or just holding him and watching him sleep so the blog has taken a bit of a backseat. But don't worry...this post should fill you in on our life the past few weeks...
Beckett turned one month on December 12th. I just can't believe how quickly the time is passing by...he will be walking and talking before we know it. I've introduced him to tummy time. We started with just 2 minutes and finally worked our way up to 7 minutes tonight. He really has a strong neck and is basically able to hold it up by himself. He has also started to smile in the last week or so. That is hands down the best thing he has done yet. It makes me feel like I'm the funniest person in the world (and not so ridiculous for talking to him in that goofy baby voice that I swore I would never use). That's pretty much it for his "tricks" right now. I'm not sure what will be next...so I finally bought the book What to Expect the First Year to make sure I'm doing everything I'm supposed to.
He is growing like crazy and though we haven't officially weighed him Sam and I are betting that he is pushing 11 or 12 pounds. I had my first "my baby's growing up" moment last week when I put on a newborn outfit that fit him just a week earlier only to discover that it was several inches too short and way too narrow in the waist. I'm sure it's no surprise by looking at his pictures that the child is not deprived of food! My poor baby looked like Chris Farley singing "Fat Guy in a Little Coat".
I can't say that we're on any type of schedule yet, but he did surprise me last night by sleeping from 11:30 - 6:15. I could not believe it and must admit that I felt like a million bucks today! That's all for now...stay tuned for pics of his first Christmas.
Sleeping...as always the hands are by the face
