Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Today at the baby group, Beckham weighed 16 lbs 1oz!! He gained 5 ounces in the last week and I'm so happy that he's finally 16lbs. I know it's time for me to stop worrying about his weight but I'm just waiting for him to catch up to the "big budumping chunks" in the group. Today was Kate's first visit to the group and she got to see for herself how big those babies are. Every time she sees Beckham, she's constantly saying how big he is but today she realized exactly how small he is. Haha!

The weather was soooooooooooooo perfect today! It made me feel all happy and giddy like Christmas! I just wanted to set up a tent somewhere and live outside. After the group, we all made sure to go to lunch somewhere where we could definitely sit outside, and thank goodness we got the last table on the patio. Beckham took a nice little nap in his seat so he was well rested for what I had planned.

For a couple weeks now, I've been wanting to take Beckham to the park to swing for the first time; but on the days that I wanted to, it was either raining or incredibly too hot. Because the weather was so beautiful today, I just had to take him after lunch!

This was really special to me because it's something that I had been looking forward to for almost two years now. Back when I was trying to conceive Beckham and the months kept passing by and I still wasn't pregnant, I brought Sofia to the park one day. And as I sat on the bench while she ran around with her friend, I watched a couple girls my age sitting their babies in the grass together and then pushing them in the swings. I wanted to be them so bad and from that day on, I couldn't wait to bring my baby to the park one day and push him in those same swings. And there I was today, pushing my little boy in one of those swings while another little baby was growing inside me. I felt so overwhelmed by how perfect everything was. I can't imagine life getting any better than this.

Beckham really liked the swing. He kept trying to see everything and he loved watching the other kids running around playing. He would smile occasionally and crack up laughing when I tried grabing his feet. It was so much fun!

Thats awesome hes gaining so well! I was the exact same way and was constantly worried about Lauren's weight even though she was growing perfectly, lol! I even bought a baby scale to use at home!
The swing pictures were too cute, sounds like the perfect day!!
