videos by eric

so...  whenever i leave my phone in another room, like on the bed & walk away, eric always makes videos of himself. most of the time they are hilarious.
*let's get real. all of them are hilarious.

this one is one of my favorites.

enjoy! <3

5 months

welp, he is almost half a year old!

stats:
height:97th percentile
weight: 90th percentile
head circumference: 90th percentile


this little guy is seriously the happiest baby.

he brings so much joy unto our lives, & we couldn't be more in love with him!

eric just said, "if we could know that all our kids would be this easy, we would have them one right after another."

& i totally agree. <3
 

*hApPy ThUrSdAy!

four months old

things are pretty happy {& a little crusty} around here. 

the happy:

my baby boy is 4 months old already! 

beck can suck on his toes. 

he never wears socks anymore... so i get to see his flippers feet. {they are identical to eric's...it's hilar}

*or when he does wear socks he just pulls them off anyway

he loves rice cereal! he is finally getting the hang of it.

he sucks his thumb on a regular basis.

lots of squeals & giggles. 

*it melts my heart

98% in weight

90% in height

95% head

he rolls over from his tummy to his back. & as of last night he rolled onto his tummy from his back! 

we got a doorway jumper yesterday! he doesn't quite know what to do with it yet, but he does like just hanging around in it. :)

now for the crusty:

beckham is teething, folks. 

he used to be the best baby, like, ever. & now he just wants to be held all. freakin. day. 

i've tried the {hylands} teething tablets, ice in a net thingy, frozen or chilled teething rings, & i just got some gum omile oil. so far the tablets work, but i am afraid of giving him too much of those. so... if you have ANY suggestions, i am totally open to them! 

i am glad there are more happy moments here than crusty ones! :)

*happy thursday, peeps! 

three months old

beckham is growing sooo fast!

he loves:
bath time
his daddy
being sung to
blowing bubbles
sucking his first two fingers or his thumb
sitting in his bumbo chair
being thrown in the air
baby einstein movies
music
being outside
watching basketball or football
his woof woof (beenie baby with binky)


he hates:
laying down
being left alone in a room
the fan being on
his car seat...until he falls asleep
his swing :(

he has grown sooo much this month. i swear he is going to start crawling tomorrow.
{ok not really, but he is sooo big!}

he has officially grown out of his 3-6mo jammies, & is now in the 6-9mo.
*his poor feet did not fit into the 3-6 ever.

his torticollis is almost healed, i think. he can sit up straight & his neck is never hung to the right.

he sleeps through the night! usually 7-8 hours, waking up at 7:00am on the dot to eat. {i feel spoiled}

just for record keeping. when he was about 2 months he kept spitting up! seriously every. single. time. he ate... even after eating just one ounce he would like projectile spit up.. i told my pediatrician & he told me to put rice cereal (about 1tsp for ever 2 ounces) in his bottle along with formula & that has helped soooo much! he barely spits up now. he eats about 4 ounces of formula with 2tsp of rice cereal (in his bottle) every 3 hours.

when laying on his tummy he can almost scoot. he lifts his head up high & almost does a mini push-up.

he is growing so much! eric calls him an old man, & if we blink he will be! we love our little beckham. <3

two months old

i can't believe our little turkey is two months old already!! 

he is growing sooo fast! 

the dr told us to feed him less if he will allow us to, because he gained 4 pounds in less than a month! 

he barely fits into his 0-3 month shirts. they are pretty snug, but the 3-6 month shirts are a little big. 

he no longer fits into 0-3 month shoes. he got his daddy's feet. he'll be in a size 12 in no time! ;)

we had fun during this quick shoot today. i love my little man! :) 

here are more pictures of our little photo shoot:

he kept falling over! haha

we found out that he has torticollis{he holds his to the right}

you can kinda see it in these pics:

it's really not a big deal. he just has to do physical therapy 3 times a week to straighten it out. 

hopefully once that is fixed he will hold his head up like a champ! 

my favorite one! i love his gummy smile! 

we are so grateful that he is finally here! 

mom is so in love &he is his daddies #1 fan!

if you can't tell we are pretty excited around here for the arrival of this babe. it's all i think about!

it's seriously amazing how much i am crazy in love with him already & i don't really even know him yet.

i hope he looks like his adorable father.

i hope he has his eyes, & grows up to have the same drive, motivation, & positive/everything is & will be fine attitude.

i hope he gets my toes, cause eric's are too long. haha

i hope he gets my legs, & eric's torso. cause i kinda want super tall kiddos.

i know he will get both eric's & my love for pepsi or just soda/caffeine period.
let's get real. he is probably already addicted to it.

i hope he knows his dad's & my love for our Heavenly Father, & Savior, Jesus Christ.

i hope he knows that we will always love him. {no matter what}

i hope he grows up to serve a mission. & will love the opportunity to serve. just like his father.

i hope he grows up to love the scriptures.

i hope he grows up to be his dads best friend, & be a mama's boy. ;)

i hope he has my button nose.

i hope he sucks his thumb, just like i did. (but not for too long.... cause i did).

i hope he is heathly.

i hope he learns the importance of prayer.

i hope he sees how important it is to be an example. & realize how many people really do notice.

i hope he makes good choices.

i hope he has a full head of hair.

i hope he builds a testimony of the gospel.

i hope he is a chunky baby.

i hope i can teach him everything he needs to know to progress, & be a great young man.

i hope he sleeps through the night.

& i really hope he loves his parents. ;)

there are soooo many more things that i hope for this little boy. those are just a few.

i cannot wait for his arrival!
