Dear Beckett: 8 Weeks

Dear Beckett,

How is it possible that you are already two months old?  (Well, technically two months on the 23rd of the month, but you are eight weeks!)  This day is bittersweet - I love watching you grow and learn, but time is passing too quickly.  You have lost most of the newborn look and now look like a sweet, happy baby!



This week you showed your grumpy side a bit more!  Ha!  Your "fussy" times are usually just when you get hungry or have a dirty diaper and then they pass quickly.  So far you haven't had any meltdowns.  I brag all the time about what an EASY and laid back baby you are. 



We have been working on tummy time a lot lately.  Your neck is so much stronger, but you still lose control of it after awhile.  




You still LOVE time on your play mat.  You often will spend an hour listening to the music and playing with the dangling toys.  Sometimes I think you even get tired of being held and just want to be put down so you can play and kick your legs!  Such a boy :).



Your dad was traveling for most of the week.  You received your very first souvenirs :).



When he got home all he wanted to do was hold and cuddle you.  He missed you so much!  As soon as you saw him you gave the biggest grins.




Already several of your 0-3 month size clothes are getting too small!  They seem to be plenty wide, but too short.  I wonder if you will be tall like your dad?


I finally bought a new bath tub for you and you like it SO much better!  NO tears!  This made momma very happy.  I can't wait for you to start splashing and playing in the water.


Today is a big day for a few reasons.  First, you will start taking your daily antibiotics.  They will help prevent you from getting an infection.  The other reason why today is a big day is that you are going on your very first road trip!  We are heading to Oklahoma for a whole week.  So far the farthest you have traveled is to Grapevine, where you were born.  I hope you like to travel, because your grandparents sure do want you to visit often!





We love you.

Love, 
Mom
