10 Months

 

Oh, how we adore this little munchkin!!

I can't believe he's coming up on a year- I remember like it was yesterday

when Scarlett was like 7 months old and I was already planning her first birthday...

and here we are with our second and I haven't given it a single thought haha-

don't worry little one, we'll make it special when the big day comes :)

 

 

I'm just seriously obsessed with his little face and cheeks and smile.  He's the sweetest!

And the biggest news from this month is that he got his helmet off!! Finally!!

His percent of lopsided-ness went from 10% at the beginning (they like it below 6),

to 3% by the end.  Good thing he's got such a big head, cause his rapidly growing noggin

made the process much faster- he only had it for 3 months or so.

And ever since he got it off I feel like he's happier, snugglier, and moving around so much more.

It's so fun!

 

Speaking of huge noggin, here are his stats as of last week-

30th % for weight

85th% for head

and 6TH% for height- little shorty!!

I didn't think he was that tiny- poor little guy with his gigantic sister ha

they're going to be such the odd pairing.

 

He's crawling at super-speed, walking along furniture, getting into everything,

especially loves to eat the dirt and bugs by the back door when Scarlett opens it, still has NO teeth

but is currently a cranky mess so hopefully that means they're coming soon, loves following

his sister around but hates when she gives him "hugs" (yanking on his neck).

 

Don't look too closely at his hair- Chris insisted on giving him his first haircut

and it's just slightly botched ;)  We have yet to get it evened out.

 

I had to include a tongue picture- he's got it hanging out 90% of the time and I kinda love it.

 

He's turning into such a little boy!

 

Father and son- melt my heart!!

 

Here's his last couple minutes with his helmet- we were just a little anxious and excited

to hear if it would be coming off!

 

 

They put this little cap on them to take the scans and I think it's the cutest/funniest thing ever.

 

Free!!!  I don't know who was happier, him or me :)

 

 

 

Chris hates the fohawk, but I told him that he had to let me have my fun since it was essentially

my first time getting to do his hair!!



 

We love you so much, Bechkam!!  It's been the best 10 months since you came

into our little family!!

7-8 month Month Beck

Happy super late 7 months... and now 8 months, Beckeroo!
I am so far behind, it's ridiculous.
But this little man continues to steal my heart more and more each day.
He's just the sweetest, chillest thing and the whole family adores him.

Don't mind the awkward hair line from his helmet haha.

 

Scarlett always wants to join in on his photoshoots.

The main thing that happened this last month was getting his helmet.

His head was pretty flat on one side so we decided to get it fixed with the helmet-

they estimated he would need it for 3-4 months, 23 hours a day.

He's got quite the large head so it looks gigantic with this thing on.

I can't believe there was a jacket with a hood big enough to fit it!

He got to celebrate his first Christmas!!

Don't let this picture fool you- he's still hardly moving at all.

This was probably one of the only times he's stood against something.

He doesn't crawl yet and rarely even rolls haha.

He's just happy sitting and watching everyone move around him, which is just fine with me!

Obviously, documenting his first trip to In N Out was a necessity.

My dad fulfilled his dream of getting another puppy and my kids were overyjoyed with little Rue.

Beckham got to see Santa for the first time

We went to Utah for Christmas and got to spend some quality time with grandma and grandpa, 

and little Ryker of course!

What a stud muffin ;)

He's starting to sometimes stay on his hands and knees for a minute or two if we put him there haha.

My most favorite time is helmet-free time when I get to snuggle and smooch those cute little cheeks for as long as I want!  Well.....for an hour :)

Love you Becks!!

 

Here's a video of his first real belly laugh- apparently me wiping the couch was hilarious.

 

 

I love that they are finally starting to play together!

 

Scarlett's Surgery

My little Ettie girl had to have surgery in November to try to fix her
cute curly pinky toes.  They've been like that since she was born and she always complained about her "owie tootsies" when she wore shoes so we figured we should try to correct it while she is still young.

She was just the cutest patient I've ever seen in her tiny scrubs.

We were told she did great during the procedure and coming out of anesthesia.  She didn't cry or anything, just wanted some water and to watch Frozen of course.

She got the royal treatment as they transferred her to her room in a little wagon.

You'd think with all that had happened to her, the little pulse oximeter sticker would be the least of her worries: but no.  That was what made her completely lose her mind.  I felt for that poor nurse who had to deal with trying to keep that thing on continuously!

She was such a rude little terror during the whole pulse ox ordeal that the nurse finally called and convinced the doc that she didn't need to keep it on all the time.  After that Scarlett was as happy as could be :)

Just a couple of hours went by and we could not keep her in bed anymore.  Still wobbly from anesthesia and now with two slippery casts, she crawled around those nasty hospital hallways with her daddy and then did some bowling.

 She walked right on out of that hospital like a boss

Those bright pink casts couldn't keep this spunky girl down or from doing the things she loved.  Within a day or two she was pretty much back go normal:  playing with her brother, rolling in the leaves, playing her new favorite game of "doctor", and swinging on the swings.  All just a little slower than usual ;)

All around she was just a pretty happy girl!  But I'm SO glad we only had those things for three weeks- they were so heavy and annoying!

Her toes looked pretty good when the casts came off but now they're starting to curl back :(

Pretty frustrating, but we'll see how they turn out with time.

Since we stayed inside most of the day, this is what she'd do all day long.  Lots of dancing!

6 months

My little guy had his half birthday yesterday- so crazy!

 



 

I'm just kind of obsessed with him :)

He's so squishy and cuddly and happy, I love it!

AND, his puking has decreased dramatically this last month, yay!

 



His doctor's appointment isn't for a couple of days so I don't know his percentages,

but his head continues to be huge..and lopsided.

I had an appointment at the helmet clinic and we're probably going to get one in

the next couple of weeks.

So I'll have a toddler in double casts and a baby in a helmet,

haha my poor kids!

Hopefully they'll thank me someday :)

 

 

Look!  He has some hair!  Haha, so surprising compared to Scarlett

who was bald until she was one.

 

Beckham's first time on the swings was pure joy- it was so cute.

 



 

He's such a patient little brother,

he lets Scarlett play "doctor" with him.

 

Beeeest buddies

 

He's starting to sit up on his own!

He can go for a minute or so by himself, or he'll just chill with the help of the boppy.

Also he's finally rolling both ways, and he loves the freedom of moving around.

 

Morning snuggles with these two are my absolute favorite.

 

Scarlett asked to take a nap in the crib with Beck.

 

His first Halloween was a success as a little giraffe.

 

And mommy tortured him by making him sit in a pumpkin :)

 

Love this handsome boy of mine!

 

Here's videos of his first time trying formula and going on the swings
