Our little "tank" is adding more and more skills to his arsenal. He is starting to stand on his own. He crawls extremely fast, pulls up on anything stationary (and even things that aren't) and then slowly lets go. He's getting pretty cocky and doesn't always make sure he's firmly planted before letting go of the stationary object. He is also starting to climb. When he's in his crib he'll stand up on top of his bumbers to look over the top. He climbs the stairs on the deck, my little gray stool, and he likes to climb into and through the bottom shelf of the end tables.
He says mama, dada, and nana but isn't deciphering who is who at this point. He is really verbal and getting louder and louder. He sometimes screeches and then looks very satisfied with himself. He is getting more and more ticklish. If you tickle his tummy, neck, or thighs he bursts into giggles. So cute!
He has recently gotten much more hair. I can tell when I kiss the back of his head there is so much more blond fuzz. He still likes his swing after his early morning bottle (5am) but otherwise would rather be independent and on the move. He loves to be outside and enjoys being in the bjorn.
I took him grocery shopping last week and put him in the front of the cart sitting by himself for the first time. He did just fine so now I don't have to worry about taking the car seat or bjorn w/ me into the store.
I fed him mashed up banana for the first time and he liked it the first time and wasn't so sure the second time. We are going to start weening him off breast milk so he'll continue w/ formula until he's 1 year old. I'm going to start introducing more and more adult food so he gets used to the consistency. We tried puffs but he just spits them out. He is starting to wave his hand in front of himself when he's done eating. This is his way of letting me know he's done. I am starting sign language with him. We're beginning with "more" and "all done".
He goes to bed around 7 and sleeps through the night until 5am. At which point we get up, feed him a bottle, put him in his swing and go back to bed until Hudson wakes up around 7.
He now has 4 teeth. His 2nd top tooth is breaking through and so far his top teeth are much larger than his bottom. He plays independently half the time and the other half he wants to be with mama. He is so cute and we are calling him "Beckett-bulldozer" as he likes to crawl right over the top of anything in his way.
We love you our little beckett-boo!
