"Time moves exponentially faster with baby number 2. Don't blink or you will miss it".....truer words have never been spoken! I feel like Beckett was an infant for like 3 seconds or some other ridiculously short amount of time. He is quickly becoming a busy body and is always on the go!! Im sure the fact that he is so so happy contributes to the speedy progression of time. Don't get me wrong we are so so tired because let's get real B2 is a terrible sleeper but we wouldn't trade him for anything. I remind myself frequently to soak up every snuggle because soon enough he will be a busy, stinky, rowdy little boy who doesn't need or want to be rocked to sleep. We love you Beckett Allen but don't grow up too fast on us.
The facts: You are so healthy and chunky which means no doctor appointments which means I have no idea how much you weigh now. The only thing I can be sure of is that you are growing, growing, growing! You are wearing 12-18 month clothes which look silly on you because Braxton was walking around (18 months) in these same outfits. You are wearing size 3 daytime diapers and size 5 overnight diapers. I think you are wearing a size 4 shoe but it's so so hard to stuff your chunky foot into anything so you mostly wear moccasins or socks.
You still only have your 2 bottom teeth but your top gums are red and swollen.
Mommy is still making your baby food and you are eating 2 cubes at school along with cereal and then 2 cubes at home for dinner! You love food and so far I haven't found anything you don't like!
Things you are doing: Things are getting interesting around the Hill household as you are officially on the move. You are sitting independently, pivoting in prone, rolling all around the room, crawling on your belly, and getting up into quadruped briefly. You are beginning to open and close your hand and are saying da-da, ga-ga, and ba-ba.
You are sleeping in your crib in your room nightly wearing fleece pajamas. I think you are working to break the record for oldest baby to NEVER sleep through the night. You still wake anywhere from 3-8 times nightly. It's exhausting but Luke and I take turns rocking you back to sleep. Luke wants to let you "cry it out" but my heart can't handle it. You continue to nurse 1x nightly.
You nurse 1x in the morning and 1-2x nightly before bed. You currently have 3 bottles at school daily and 2 cubes of homemade food 2x daily.
Things you like: empty water bottles, wipe package, pinching
Big events: Braxton's 3rd birthday, 6 month pictures, first haircut
