4 Months

What a happy boy we have! His personality gets bigger each week. He smiles and giggles so much, and it melts my heart! He still loves to bounce in his jumper and always has something in his mouth. We don't see any teeth yet, but I know they'll be here soon! He weighs 14lbs 7oz and is 25.5 in tall. The doctor expects he'll be sitting up by his 6-month appointment.

First week at daycare

My little man had his first day at the sitter's on Monday. Daddy had a hard time dropping him off. It was a sad day for both of us, but Beckett did awesome! I was so happy yesterday when Deanna sent me a text saying he was doing great—playing, laughing, talking, napping and eating. I'm thrilled he is adjusting so well, and I'm thankful we found such a great person to watch him the next couple years.

                     

                            

3 Months

Wow, another month has passed! Beckett is very chatty these days and is rolling over like crazy! I bet he'll be an early crawler. His smiles and giggles melt my heart. His little personality is so sweet. One of our favorite things he does is when we take his shirt off he closes his eyes and smiles. He still loves baths and had his first swim day at grandma and grandpas! He really likes the water.

     

     

                                        

                                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

First Day Back

Yesterday was my first day back to work. The day, especially the morning, was rough. I had warm welcomes from my coworkers though, and my parents and sister sent me beautiful flowers and a sweet note to brighten my day. It's hard to believe my three-month maternity leave has already come to an end. I had such an amazing time being home with my little guy, and I'm so thankful for it. I wish I could spend more than just the evenings and weekends with him, but I think I will accept it more each day and each day will get easier. His daddy hasn't started school yet, so at least he gets to spend the next three weeks at home with him. He'll go to daycare August 11. That will be another hard day!

            

2 months

Our sweet little guy is 2 months old! His personality is starting to come out, and he's smiling and "oo-ing" a lot. At his 2-month checkup, the nurse said he's very strong for his age. He has been holding his head up so well for a few weeks now, and on June 29th he rolled over for the first time! He weighs about 12 pounds and is almost 24 inches long.

Newborn Session

I can't believe my little man is 6 weeks old! Looking at these newborn photos makes me realize he's already growing up so fast! It was so much fun to have my sister-in-law capture our day. Visit her blog and check out some of the images and video.

Welcome Beckett Scott

Our little man came into the world on April 25, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 19.5 inches long. He is perfect as can be! My beyond talented sister-in-law documented my birth story. I'm so fortunate to have this to look back on for years to come. It's hard to put such an incredible and life-changing day into words, but the images and video she captured do it justice. Check out the gallery and video on her blog.

Home Stretch

I'm 39 weeks—where did the time go?! I had an appointment last Monday, and my doctor thinks little Beckett will come right around his due date like planned. Possibly less than a week to go before we get to meet our little guy!

Little Beckett's Showers

My best friends Sarah and Lauren hosted my family and friends' shower on my birthday. It was such a perfect day! The theme was vintage to go along with the nursery. It was so great to see everyone and celebrate the little man.

My friend Megan hosted Beckett's work/friends' shower. My mom was able to be in town for it as well. It was adorable, just as I expected! All of the little pieces and elements were so cute. I especially loved the little drink straws and bow tie silverware :)

Third Trimester

These past several weeks have flown by. I'm 37 weeks—only a few more to go until we get to meet little Beckett! I've thankfully been feeling great. I'm still walking each morning and doing prenatal yoga. It feels nice to be a little active still. We, I specifically, have been nesting like crazy! All of his clothes are washed and organized, and everything has its place in the nursery. We even cleaned out the garage last weekend :) I had two amazing baby showers, which I'll post about next. I've been so blessed.

Nursery Progress

The nursery is coming along! The theme is vintage. Navy, gray and white is the main color scheme, and I have hints of red and wooden elements. I'm excited to see it all come together. I found the coke crate and scale on Etsy, and a lady made my rugby-striped curtains. I'm so excited about the big glider chair—I expect I'll need to spend many hours in it :) It's fun to see the room come together. I will post more photos when it's complete!
