My sweet baby boy is three weeks old today...
Dear Beckett,
In your third week of life you continue to bring us such joy! We laugh at every little smile, squirm, sound, and expression you make.
We went to back to the pediatrician's office today. A few days ago we had noticed a pretty decent size knot on the back of your head. :( Thankfully, Dr. Harpavat confirmed that it was just a hematoma (blood build up between the scalp and skin) from the birth. We were so proud of you because you hardly fussed or cried the whole time you were being poked and prodded! And we are especially proud of how much you now weigh... 7lbs. 3 oz!! Today you have been an eating MACHINE. We think you are going through a growth spurt. This makes your daddy extra happy because he predicts you will be big and strong, just like him!
This week we have started going on walks each day. Sometimes you cry getting into your car seat, but you quickly settle down once we start moving. You seem to love being outside and most days you fall asleep.
You have started spending more and more time on your play mat. You LOVE to look at yourself in the mirror, but are especially entranced by the dangling rings above you. On several occasions you have been able to repeatedly grab at the rings and attempt to put them in your mouth! You are also getting better and better at putting your fingers in your mouth. We love to laugh when this happens, because you start sucking like crazy and make such loud noises!
Much to our dismay you also love to watch T.V.! We are constantly trying to shield and move you from the TV, but you always try to turn your head or body to watch. Like father, like son....
You also had your very first tub bath this week. You fussed at the beginning and end, but were pretty happy most of the time.
You had lots of Grandma love this week. Both Gigi and Grandmomma came to town and were quick to spoil and coo over you. You were happy to give them your sweet dimpled grins and baby cuddles!
We love you.
Love,
Mom
