Likes: 

• Classical music (Austin got tons of Baby Einstein for her)
• Boudreax's Butt Paste (someone has a little rash...)
• Activity Mats - she loves 'em; we got another for downstairs
• Her sound machine
• Nightgowns/sleep sacks
• Zip-up PJs
• Car rides (although she gets fussy at red lights... so car rides so long as the car is in motion at all times)
• Being read to
• Being swaddled

Dislikes:

• Socks
• Keeping her changing table clean (we have done so much laundry)
• Waiting... especially for food, or for you to change her diaper 

Milestones: 

• She celebrated her parents five-year wedding anniversary on Saturday, February 16, her first family holiday
• Her umbilical cord fell off on Sunday, February 17
• Her second pediatrician appointment was on Friday, February 22, at 2 p.m. - she is back to her birth weight - 8.1!

Loving Little Me

The Little Me brand fits Beckett so good! She's still in Newborn size (which we didn't entirely expect!), and the Little Me outfits fit her perfect. She wore one home from the hospital, and here is another one - love the footed jams. It also comes with a matching hat, but we take it off during activity time to try to keep her awake!

Can't Get Enough of These Little Feet

BG LOVES her Activity Mat

Beckett LOVES her mat, spending hours just staring up at the little animals that hang from it. It's beeen great for her activity time, and for family time as we like to get down there with her and see what she's seeing - she's just fascinated!

Daddy's little girl already!

Baby Girl didn't make it to sleep time!

Silly times on her mat with Dad!

Day 2: Pro Shots Thanks to Uncle Z

Uncle Zach came to the hospital on BG's second day with us and took the most beautiful pictures of our families celebrating her arrival. We can't thank you enough, Zach! You're so talented and we appreciate you taking the time to come over and get these shots of such a special day in your niece's life.
