Yummy In The Tummy

After I worked on my blog Tuesday night, I decided to start Beckham on solid foods! We are going to start with veggies and only give him one new one a week to make sure he doesn't have any allergies like his mommy. So Tuesday we fed him sweet potatoes! First, I tried to feed him rice cereal with the spoon (he's been having it in his bottles for 1 1/2 months), but he totally refused to eat it. That was when I decided to give him the sweet potatoes. He loved it! When we tried giving him the cereal, he screamed the whole time and made the "yuck" face, but for the sweet potatoes he was opening his mouth and the tears stopped. He ate them all last week and all was well so today I started him on green beans for the first time. He seemed to like that one as well and ate it all up. I've also been giving him oatmeal, but I'm not really sure if he likes it or not. He makes the "yuck" face and spits it out a lot but he still eats the whole bowl. I guess I'll have to keep testing it out on him. Below is a pic of him crying when we were trying to feed him cereal and some pics of him eating sweet potatoes for the first time.

On Thursday I brought Beckham with me to lunch with my dad and Robin, and I made a big mistake... I forgot his diaper bag!! I'm used to carrying the diaper bag and Beckham in his carrier to the car at the same time, but because I'm pregnant I now have a different routine. I now have to put the carrier in the car first and then carry Beckham and the diaper bag after. This was one of my first times doing this and I already forgot something. Now I learned that the diaper bag goes in the car first! It wouldn't have been such a problem because I keep a spare diaper back with diapers and wipes in my car, but he was due to eat right when I got there! I had to leave him there and run to three different nearby stores to buy baby food and a spoon. Ugh, I'll never make that mistake again!

Friday was my cousin, Natalie's house warming party. She bought a beautiful condo in the warehouse district and the whole family got together to see it. Of course when Beckham gets together with his cousin, Athens I have to take pics!

On Saturday, Joshua and I stayed home with the baby for an entire day for the first time in... well, I can't even remember. Beckham was in the best mood and we had so much fun with him. He learned how to make himself scream that day and did it all day long. He loved listening to himself! I have a video of him doing it below!

Beckham also took his first step on Saturday!

Just kidding!!!! Beckham is not some kind of super baby! Joshua stood him up and let go of him for a second for me to take a photo. HAHA! But seriously, he has been doing great sitting up. He sits up for a good while now so I was able to get some nice shots of that.

On Saturday, Beckham also started doing something else! He started sticking his tongue waaay out, and he also was doing this all day and continues to do it everyday now. It's so cute!... except for when I'm trying to feed him!

Okay, Saturday was a busy day! That day we also cut the back of Beckham's hair. Joshua has been begging me to let him do it since we took him home from the hospital, and Beckham's hair had finally gotten too long so I agreed it should be trimmed. He used clippers and Beckham didn't even know what was happening. Ah, it looks so much better!

AFTER:

Sunday was Sam's baby shower! Kate and I were so pleased with the way it came out, and I think Sam was opening gifts longer than I was at my shower! She had an amazing turn out and looked as though she had a great time too. I can't wait to go to her house soon to check out all of her goodies!

Some more photos from the past week!

ABOUT BABY BREAUX #2:

I'm 5 weeks today! According to my ticker, Baby breaux already has more brain cells than Paris Hilton! Wow!

Growth this week is focused on Baby Breaux's head which is growing more rapidly than the rest of his/her body. Aw, my little seahorse!

As for me, I'm feeling great! With the exception of some bloating, I haven't had too many symptoms, and I've actually been having way more energy. I'm loving this pregnancy so far!

My Belly Pic is ready for you right on time! You can go to www.staceybreaux.com/bellypics.html to view last week's and this week's together to see if you notice any changes yet. I know it's early but people claim that you show sooner with your second, and I showed really early with my first. I'm not noticing anything yet and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's just a myth!
