Happy 1 Month Birthday!

I can't believe it's been a month since we brought him home. It has flown by and Beckem is growing and changing every day. I haven't been taking a lot of photos so I thought I'd better for his 1 month birthday.

Beckem has been smiling a lot more lately. He'll focus on my face or Ryan's face and smile. It's so cute!

Ok, don't think we're horrible parents. I saw Beckem sitting there with his bib on next to Ryan and I thought it was funny that he had a bib on and Ryan was eating dinner. So, I had Ryan PRETEND to feed him this french fry. He didn't actually taste it.

Beckem's 1st photo shoot

I don't like baths!

Well, Beckem's ambilical cord fell out on his 1 week birthday so we decided to give him a bath. He was a little fussy to begin with and I thought a warm bath would sooth him. Boy, was I wrong! I have never heard a baby more hysterical. But what do you do? He was already wet and soapy, so we just finished quickly and took him out. This picture is of the aftermath. He looks a little traumatized...sort of a "deer in the headlights" look. Pathetic! (You can really tell how small he is by the size of the binky in his mouth). I guess we'll try again another night...

My first trip to the doctor

On Thursday, April 30th, I had my first trip to see Dr. Leavitt. He is my pediatrician and he was also my daddy's pediatrician. I was 5 lbs 14 oz but Dr. said that's ok...I'll gain the weight back by my next appt in 2 weeks. He said that I am going to be tall because of my long legs!

I am nursing great now...I finally figured it out! Mommy is very happy about this. I looked cute in my carseat and loved the ride to the doctor. I even opened my eyes for this photo.
