(4 months since his) Birthday Boy!!

When Beck was not even 1 month old I started getting sad about how quickly the time was going by, how fast he was growing up and how much he was changing. I was losing my little beetle bug that would curl up on my chest and snuggle all day. There are some little things I miss about my 1 week old boy but more than that I love seeing the stages Beck grows into each month. He is more and more fun each week. I keep saying "he is in such a cute phase right now," each phase topping the next. At 4 months, Beck is in his cutest phase yet!

Beck now weighs 14 lbs 13 0zs and is eating 5 ounces every 2 hours. YEAH tell me about it. What happened to eating more so he could go for longer periods of time without eating? And no, he won't take 6 ozs and last a little longer. I really don't want to feed him solid food until 6 months but I must admit now I'm questioning cereal...

Beck had his first real laugh and we were so lucky to catch it on camera.

He is progressing at tummy time. He hates it and like every good mother who's children are miserable to be around, I don't make him do it (I am working on this). This video doesn't really do him justice though, he's better than it lets on.

Now for rolling over, Beck is pretty good at doing tummy time, leaning a little to one side or another and then letting his fat head and gravity do the rest... umm is that rolling over? If so, what a dumb milestone. We'll talk when he does his first STEAMROLLERRRR..... STEAMROLLERRRR...... STEAMROLLERRRRR. Were the Weber kids the only ones who rolled on top of each other yelling "Steamroller!!!!"?

He's in 3 months clothes but their a little tight, he also wears 6 months clothes but their pretty big.

He also had his very first Thanksgiving! We went to Henderson to visit Seth's family where Beck enjoyed watching TV with his cousin, Tyler,

lounging around with Aunt Mary
meeting Uncle Brad,
and of course, cuddling with his momma.
And of course, what's a post with no poop talk. When I picked up Beck today from KinderCare, on his 4 month birthday, his teacher told me he had such a huge diaper explosion it shot up to his neck. She hadn't seen anything like it. She also said it was such an explosion that she would have handed him over to his mother to clean it up. Um, for $212 a week, not only can you clean my son's explosions but mine too.

Photo Shoot Failures

In case you haven't realized, I am not a good blogger. It's hard enough finding the time to write, not to mention the time it takes to get some good pictures. Here's a try at a good mother-son pic since I'm usually the one behind the camera.

1. Eyes closed, we can do better than that

2. Beck looks good, I do not

3. We've got a smile but in the wrong direction

4. Uuuugggghhhhhh

5. TUMBLEEEEEE

6. Still not feeling it

7. Finalllllly!

I don't know where he gets it from, Seth and I always take good pictures...

and yes, I'm 25 years old

The Bird

What is KinderCare teaching my child?

BOO!

Beck is growing so fast. If Seth would have played with him like this 1 week ago he would not have blinked. So cute!

FINALLY

Just when I thought I would never sleep again, Mr Beckham Jarrett, slept through the ENTIRE NIGHT!! We had a really eventful day so I think by the time 9:30 rolled around he was exhausted. We went to Beatrice's Habitat for Humanity Home Dedication Party and then over to my parents. He usually sleeps for a couple hours in the evening but with all the stimulation he couldn't get his usual naps in. As excited as I was that he slept, Seth and I still didn't sleep that much. Instead of enjoying the milestone we were up every hour to make sure he was alive... maybe Thursday night he'd sleep all night again and then we could really sleep!!

WRONG

As of Thursday, Beck had his first cold. He was coughing all day and pretty snotty but no fever, he even got to stay home from school on Friday. Poor boy.

So now we've just been laying around,


watching football with dad,

taking hot, steamy baths,

and feeling much better!
