Ok, so I missed Beckham's 7 month post. I feel terrible, but...better late than never, right? :) His sleeping schedule has been about the same for the past two months, he goes to bed around 7:30 or 8 and wakes up at about 7 or 7:30 in the morning. He eats quite a bit in the night and hasn't been sleeping very well, I'm not sure if it's his teeth or developmental things causing it or what...but I'm so tired! We tried moving him to his own crib last month, but I was even
more tired. So he's back in bed with us. :) I can't say I'm too sad about it, since I love it. So far he hasn't been too picky about his baby food, he only eats baby food once a day, at dinner time. I have switched to only oatmeal because there is more protein, and I usually combine that with a fruit or vegetable, I switch off every other day between the two. So far, the only thing he hasn't like are peaches (which was hilarious), he has tried carrots, prunes, apples, pears, green beans, and bananas. Other than that, he nurses about every four hours now throughout the day. He also started grabbing my face and giving me HUGE baby kisses,
all the time. I love it.
He started crawling about a week after he turned 7 months old, officially. He had been rocking and scooting and bouncing along for a couple weeks before that, but he
really crawled for a good distance at about 7 months 1 week. He still does this mogley walk thing where his butt is clear up in the air and he walks on his hands and feet, it's so funny. I hope he keeps doing that because it makes me laugh. :) He also had his second tooth cut through that same week! No wonder he wasn't sleeping, right?
Oh my.
At 8 months...he is wearing clothes sizes anywhere from 9-18 months, most are 12-18 months and he's only 8 months old! My heavens. He started clapping around 5.5 months, but now he only claps when he's mad. It's pretty funny. :) He still says da-da-da-da-da
all the time. It's his favorite sound, Jeremy is pretty happy about that. This last month he has gotten super clingy to me, and if I'm not around, to Jeremy. If I leave his sight for even
one second, he starts crying like I've left him for hours! Little stinker. If he even sees me start to head away from him, he starts crying sometimes.
He loves taratabong on Netflix, he smiles whenever we turn it on. Actually, he wakes up so early that I usually prop my phone up in bed on Jeremy and make him watch it so I can sleep longer, it works pretty well. :)
One of my favorites. :) Take a good look at that sweet face so you can keep it in mind for this awesome story...
Two mornings ago, Beckham woke up, and he always has a good poop at 7 AM. Always. So I expected it, I even heard it but I kept sleeping telling myself I would change it in a few minutes, after I woke up a little bit. Well, a few minutes later I heard him poop some more and I heard Jeremy laugh at the sound...aannnddd I could smell it so I figured it was time. I sat up and there was poop everywhere! EVERYWHERE. It was like a nightmare with that background music *dun dun* *dun dun* His diaper had totally leaked and gotten all over our comforter, pillows, sheets and -best of all- all over Jeremy! HA! I busted up laughing because there was poop all over his shirt and it was just such a mess. In the mornings we are just so tired because we go to bed too late and don't sleep that great so we just give Beckham things to play with and he crawls around our bed and plants his little butt everywhere as he moves around, so it just spread it everywhere. It was crazy! Oh. And then we found out that dry cleaner's don't dry clean on Saturdays?? Um, who came up with that lame idea?? So, we put the poop side of our comforter at the other end of our bed.
I'm thinking we'll move him up a diaper size...look at that face again. Yeah. He's so cute, he can poop in our bed and still get to sleep with us. He's got us wrapped around those cute chubby fingers. I love it.
Playin' with Grandma Brown and his cousin Brigham who is only two months younger. :)
He has started pulling himself up to standing with coffee table, chairs, toys and couches. He's pretty good at balancing already, and he is crawling so good! Sometimes if he's trying to go really fast, like to get a Hot Wheels car that Bridger forgot about, he will get a little mixed up and start bouncing/crawling/mogely walking to get there as fast as he can before Bridger catches him going for it.
He is the happiest little baby, he makes me smile everyday with his huge grins and his huge blue eyes. He is adorable. Delicious in all the best ways. I seriously cannot get enough of him. His personality just melts my heart, he is so sweet. :)
I'll get his 8 month picture on here tomorrow. Hopefully. I always say that and something comes up...
