checkup - 2 months

We just got done with the 2 month checkup today (even though it is more like a 3 month checkup).  Beckham got some shots, which was such a sad experience!  I'm still a little sad about the whole thing.

Weight: 13 lbs 8 oz - 75th percentile
Height:  24.25 inches - 75th percentile
Head:    42.1 cm -  75th percentile

He is getting so big so fast!  But, oh what a joy this little guy is!

family pictures

We had family pictures with my family since everyone was here.  Yay!  Here is a little amateur snap of us that day.  We hope they turned out cute!

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving is always a treat for Jason and me.  Literally.  Good food, family, and games.  What could be better?  Oh yeah.  We get to share the holiday with this litte guy! 

We had so much fun this Thanksgiving with our sweet little Beckham.  We all enjoyed seeing our family and playing with cousins.  We spent the day in Lewiston with the Halls and the very next day drove up to Burley to have Thanksgiving with the Pollards.  Two yummy meals! 

We were so happy to see everyone and are now looking forward to the Christmas season and seeing them all again soon.

just a Saturday morning

Beckham has decided that after he wakes up he likes to kick on Mom and Dad's bed before going down stairs for breakfast.  He is a bit serious about the whole thing (who isn't when it come to exercising??).  He talks to himself and coos.  I love to watch him and enjoy this new morning ritual. 

Today was a lazy Saturday morning, and Dad was there.  We love having him around!

a baby shower

My mother-in-law and sisters-in-law decided to throw a shower.  I was so happy to hear that they were going to do it after Beckham was born. Seriously, great idea! (Plus, I really wanted to show him off to all of our family!)  Beckham had a good time meeting everyone.  I think he snuggled just about everyone there.  I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with all of our Morley cousins.  We don't get to see these guys enough! Everything was so great; the food, the day, and most of all the people.  We have great family.  Here are a few pictures from the day.

 

 

As a side note, Kyler and Beckham have discovered each other.  I am so excited that Beckham has a cousin so close in age!  Kyler is adorable and it was so fun to see these two try to interact with each other.

 P.S.  Thank you Tammi, Jessica, Kyler, Jenna, Jordan, Jayme, and Shanyi for putting up with me and my sense of direction...or lack thereof!  I wouldn't have made it without you guys to direct me and stick with me on the drive!

two months

Beckham is now two months old!  Good grief.  He is growing so fast!  He is such a joy and Jason and I love him to pieces.

 

Beckham is a happy baby.  I love to see him his cute little smile.  He actually smiles at just about everyone who talks to him.  He loves the attention.  Usually when he does smile, he can't help but wave his arms about aimlessly and kick his feet.  It is just so exciting!  But it doesn't really help with the photographer (most of the time, I just get a giant blur for a picture).

 

I love to see this litte boy grow!  He is focusing a lot more and a bit more allert.  I love it.  It is fun for me to see the stages of development that Beckham is going through.  I also have been reviewing some of my child development college courses. (I'm a bit of a geek....I know!)   I re-read the other day that most babies at Beckham's age like to look at simple faces rather than complex images.  Crazy huh! I have noticed this in Beckham.  He has a bouncer that he likes to sit in.  He will stare for a long time...like a very long time...at this lion face that hangs down in front of him.  There are other toys that hang down for him to look at as well, but I have yet to see him even glance at anything but this simple lion face.   Pretty interesting.

Beckham is experimenting with different binkies.  He is not sold on the other types yet, but at least he is trying something other than the one from the hospital.

Also, he has a double chin and is has round chubby cheeks.  So cute.

Beckham doesn't really like the camera.  He gets a bit impatient with me when I pull it out.

 

I just love this little boy.  What fun!
