I made it!!

My job share officially started this week, and I couldn't be happier! Going back to work full time for the past 6 weeks has been really busy and really hard. I miss my little man so much during the day so I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to spend half of my time home with him. Lucky me...who wouldn't want to spend their days with him??

It definitely seems like Beckett is teething. He puts everything he can reach in his mouth and drools incessantly. Nice, huh?

And the little guy sure does love to eat. We're still working on the table manners though :)

4 Months Old

So this post is a week overdue, but I can't believe our little man was 4 months old last week. It feels like I say this in every post, but the time truly is flying by!

We had our visit with the pediatrician last week for round two of the vaccinations and also had a consultation with a cardiologist for Beckett's heart murmur. Everything looks great, and his heart appears to be perfectly normal. We just have to follow up again when he is 3. His 4-month stats are below.

Weight: 16 lbs 15.8 oz (75-90%)
Height: 26 inches (75-90%)
Head circumference: 17.25 inches (50-75%)

He is discovering new things every day. His favorite past times currently include blowing spit bubbles, sucking on his fingers, playing in his exersaucer, swinging at the park, and batting at/reaching for his toys. He is almost ready to roll over and loves to practice standing.

He also started rice cereal last week (which I mix with a little bit of formula) and seems to enjoy it. But what a mess!

Around the house

Here are a few more pics from the last couple of weeks...


Clearly he is not a fan of the Bumbo...yet.


I can't get over how much bigger he looks in his swing now. We will probably be putting it up in a few weeks...where has the time gone??


Napping on his playmat

He absolutely loves the exersaucer!

Looking so grown up in his little man clothes

A day at the park

My poor neglected blog! I just can't seem to find the time to update it anymore. This working full time thing is for the birds. Thank goodness I only have one more week until I go part time.

Anyway...here are a few pics of Beckett's first trip to the swings at the park. Char and Aunt Norma took him, and he absolutely loved it! I thought he might still be too small, but he did great and stayed in the swing for 30 minutes. How cute is he in the baseball cap?? More updates to come as soon as I get a few more minutes.
