Lewlers Lately...

We have been pretty busy this month! We are looking forward to two wedding weekends of fun and a special visitor in November. I thought I would share some recent pics of Beckett sleeping adorably, having fun at school, meeting new friends and mastering new skills at home. We think he will be crawling very soon!!

Happy Friday!

His favorite way to sleep. Cute little butt in the air!

New friends at his first tailgate!

First football game. Go IU!

Cuddles and relaxation time at daycare. Teething is not fun.

Using his three little teeth on an apple.

Fall sensory activities at school!

School fun.

Big boy can sit in the cart now and helps mommy by holding a few groceries.

6 Months Old

Mr. Beckett is growing like a weed and getting more active every day. He's been eating fruits and baby cereals for about a month now, loving all of them, especially berries and mangoes. Beckett is rolling and can turn himself in a full circle on his belly now. He will inch along to get to mommy but no crawling yet! Our happy boy is still enjoying daycare (especially the painting activities) and he loves reading books and cuddling his soft toys.

Beckett At 5 Months

As I write this, Beckett is actually 5.5 months old. He has been so much fun lately and is giving us so much happiness. Beckett loves to smile and shares his big grin happily with me and Scott in the morning, his teachers at school and anyone who says hi. He's enjoying trying cereals and continues to be a big, hearty eater. His first tooth has cut through and the second should pop up any day.

Our big boy is about 28 inches long and (my latest guess) 18 pounds. He is tall and lean...like a golfer, Scott says. He's not moving much, as he's pretty content where he is put. He may be a slow mover, which I am actually okay with. Babyproofing sounds like an endeavor!

Here's some recent pics from our little 5 month photo shoot at home and other July fun!

Loves to kick out and stretch his long legs!

Happy baby

All smiles

Beckett's 4 Month Photos

Here are some highlights from Beckett's 4 month photo session. We love how they turned out! The photos captured his new skill of blowing raspberries and pushing up.

You're Doing Okay Mom

Warning: You may need tissues. I did. Each time I've watched this video so far.

Scott showed me this video the other day and it cannot sum up the last two and a half months more perfectly. Motherhood has been a roller coaster of emotions in the best way possible and I'm so grateful to share my first Mother's Day with Beckett and Scott.

It's a video that Johnson & Johnson made (looks like it's actually from 2012) but considering Mother's Day is Sunday, it's perfect timing to watch now.

I think moms of all ages can appreciate this but it especially struck a cord with me as a new mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

Beckett's Second Month

I'm a little delayed in posting 2 month pics but I constantly have my hands full with the little guy. He's actually 2 and half months old now so these pics are from the last 6-8 weeks. He's currently napping in his swing so I thought I'd share some quick pics. It's a race against the clock!

Beckett has really developed a personality in the last couple weeks and it's been amazing. He's smiling, cooing and making all kinds of fun faces at us. He's keeping up with his growth still way above average for his age. He's so strong and can hold his head up and sit with support. He still adores his activity mat, looking in the mirror and walking around the house with us. And bath time is still his favorite thing ever! We look forward to it each day.
