9 months

I am posting late because I wanted to wait for B's check up and stats to post.  Beckett trurned 9 months on April 6th.  My baby turning 9 months was a hard milestone for me.  I cant imagine how his first birthday will be.  When he was born I couldn't have even tried to imagine our lives 9 months later.  In all honesty I couldn't be happier with our lives right know.  Love, its a special thing.  You have a special kind of love for your spouse and at one point you cant imagine loving another person more.  Than you become a mother and its a game changer, the love you have for your child its unexplainable.  A piece of your heart is practically walking around in that lil person you've created.  Then you have a second child and you cant possibly imagine how your love can expand, but believe me it does.  Well when I had our sweet lil boy 9 months ago my heart practically exploded it grew and grew like the Grinch's.  My three babies are my world I live, breath, eat, through there lives.  There little lives are so important to me, and my personal wants don't matter so much any more.

Moving on to my baby B and how much he has grown lately!  From 6-9 months Beckett has grown in so many ways from crawling, talking, and learning so many new things. B still sleeps through the night with an occasional off night when he is sick which seems to be at least twice a month.  Beckett takes a short 30 minute nap in the mornings while I walk my four miles and 2 two hour naps during the day.  Since Beckett learned to crawl there has been no stopping that kid.  He is into everything!!  I take my eye off him for one second and he is gone!  I am already hearing from the big kids "Beckett's in my room!"  Beckett has also learned to pull up to a standing postion onto objects and can side walk on certain solid objects like couches or Cooper's train table.  Mr B can say no, but doesn't say yes but shakes his head yes.  He also says Mama a lot, and dada.  He says alot of nonsense words, but nothing else real.  B is still not my eater, I think this has to do with his reflux which is worse for him when he is sick.  Beckett's favorite snack is gold fish he loves to bite down on them with his teeth!  Beckett follows Cooper around every where, and Cooper doesn't mind.  Beckett laughs at everything Cooper does, and wants to be in whatever room Cooper is in.  Beckett definitely is a mama's boy he looks for me when he cant find me and will crawl to me and put is arms up for me to hold him.  B also gives the best hugs and still loves to snuggle!!  I am anxious to see when Beckett will start walking, maybe before his first birthday!  Everyone that sees Beckett mentions how BIG he is.  While we were at our biweekly music group at church last week and B was the same height as a 18 month old and nearly the same height as 20 month old.  Beckett is also wearing 12 months clothes and some 18 month clothes.  He is by far my biggest child.  Cant believe he is already 9 months old, I enjoy this little big guy so much!
