Somehow May slipped by under the radar. It might have something to do with some new addition to the household. We stayed pretty close to home during the month of May as little man came into our world. We had help from Grammers aka Molly Dolly and my parents aka Oma and Opa. Eisley of course thought these fun adults were coming just to amuse her and she had lots of fun. Grammers was able to watch her at her first gymnastics class, biking, arboretum and lots of other fun. Oma and Opa saw several swim lessons, did some biking and lots of playing with Eisley. We appreciate them all coming and easing the transition for all of us.
At the one month visit from the doctor little Beck turns out to be not so little. He was up to 11lbs and 15 oz and was 21 and 3/4 inches long. These numbers apparently put him in the 97th percentile for height and weight. He has had quite the upset tummy and has lost most of those long locks of hair that he had when he first came out. Also, he has a nice dose of infant acne. Poor little guy seems like he is pretty uncomfortable even with gas drops and other stuff. Doc says that the gas should pass around 6 weeks and that the acne might take 3 months. Good times. Of course we wouldn’t trade him for anything and we know it will get better eventually. The baldness I assume is self induced to look like his popps. Momma is a great sport and is super patient with him. She just passed her 6 week test from her doctor to go swimming and more!!
We just returned from a quick road trip to visit uncle Chance in Nashville , Tennessee before he shipped out to Afghanistan. Grammers and Grampers were there too and we all had a good time hanging out. We would probaby not recommend a trip like that again in that car with two little ones but it turned out as well as can be expected. Eisley has been asking for Uncle Chance/ Creston, Grammers and Grampers off and on. We also had a short but nice visit from Uncle Creston as he was passing through. We enjoyed seeing him and Eisley enjoyed being spoiled by him.
