12 weeks.

I don't even want to think of the fact that little b is 12 weeks old. time is just flying by. he is really starting to take on a personality and we are enjoying every last minute with him. he is still very calm natured, rarely cries, and is smiling a ton. his little tuft of hair is getting longer and thicker. it is so funny. He is sleeping in his own bed every night and really seems to like it. as if he knows it's his bed and his bed only! He is still waking once for a mid-night feeding. i'm still enjoying every moment of it! As of lately, it is getting really difficult to change his diaper. he is constantly on the move...always moving his arms and legs and he loves it! After looking at different blogs, i got inspired to make him a onesie every four weeks with his age.

so, we are starting at 12 weeks!

He is the sweetest little boy!

One of many with his tongue hanging out, the gene simmons look! ha

he is discovering those sweet little toes.

and those hands.

just babbling away

Thanks poni for the sweet bear.

Things i don't want to forget:

• how he blows bubbles
• how he fake coughs because he can
• how he tilts his chin down really far and then looks up with just his eyes
• on july 12th he almost really laughed at me singing old macdonald had a farm
• on july 14th we all three were laying in bed and i started to get him and then he would look at dan to get him and then me and then dan. he just wanted us to alternate!
• july 17 first time in walker, he liked it, we were skyping with meme, papa, and grandma
• how when i open his swaddle he flails his arms up, as if "free, free at last"
• how he opens his mouth anytime we kiss him
• how he smiles at me right before he closes his eyes to go to sleep
• how he loves having his fists in his mouth
• July 18th i noticed him really analyzing his feet
• how big he looked in his bassinet compared to when he came home
• how sad i was when he moved to his room and realized there was going to be a lot of things that would be the last time
• july 20th first time to sleep all night in his bed-such a big boy
• he always was getting out of his swaddle so we started using a velcro one. kinda mean like a straight jacket but he needs it to stay asleep still (i know it won't be long, and we won't have to do that anymore)
• how he constantly has his tongue out!! it's hilarious...
• he always wants to stand, never sit, when you let him down he wants right back up (he is like a stiff board all the time, never can get him to bend his knees)
• how he looks so little when he is in the big bathtub
• how comfy he looks when he falls asleep in the stroller
• how he stressed dad out at the grocery store when i had to go to mail something and wasn't there
• how he is such a big boy, he wants to be put immediately in his bed when he is tired, forget the rocking
• how he puts his pacifier in the side of his mouth and chews it with his tongue hanging out the other side
• july 30th first real laugh, i was "chewing" his ribs with my lips and making a "ymm" sound
• how he coo's back at me whether i'm singing or reading to him
• how when he is on his tummy he raises his arms and legs like superman

i only have one more week off work. i'm really sad to leave him. although, i know he will be in good hands with his daddy. thankfully, i'm only going back to work tuesday-thursday so hopefully, it won't be too bad! i'm sure going to miss him though. I love you little beckett, to the moon and back!
