A Fish Called Beckham

Beckham had his first experience in a swimming pool today! Yesterday I bought him a baby pool for our backyard so before the mommy group this morning, I filled it with water so it would have time to warm up before we were ready to get in it. He looked a little surprised when I first placed him in the water, and he fussed when I tried sitting him in it. I had to hold him and slowly dip him in until he was sitting on the bottom. Maybe the water still wasn't warm enough for him (he likes his bath water really hot!). Overall, he seemed to have a good time. He was splashing the water with his hands, and when it would hit his face he would look upset.

Last week I discovered that Beckham likes sleeping with soft things against his face. I was noticing that every time I would check on him in the bassinet, he had scooted himself to the side with his face pressed against it. I was thinking that he was doing it on accident and I made up my mind that it was time for him to sleep in his crib until I realized that he was doing it on purpose. After his first feeding in the mornings, I lay him in the bed with me for a little while and it was then that I noticed that he was stretching his face upward until it was under my pillow. Now I see him doing this all the time! So I decided he can stay in his bassinet in the room with me a little longer ;).
