One Month

Little Beckam is one month old already! He slept for the entire first two weeks of his life! I wasn’t sure if he would ever wake up but just after 2 weeks he woke up and has stolen our hearts. He is such a peaceful little baby and mostly content. He has such a sweet spirit!  He nursed great at first but now is still struggling with nursing and choking on it but we will get the hang of it! Unfortunately he has his very fussy time in the evening and never wants to be put down. He just wants to cuddle all day and night. The challenging part is at night when I need sleep and he wants to be held. We will sleep again one day! Ashton absolutely loves his little brother. We were all very nervous about how Ashton would react to Beckam and how he would treat him. We were pleasantly surprised. He hit him once in the hospital on the head and his dad and I got after him and explained how he had to be soft. Because Beckam screamed so loud I think it scared Ashton and has been so soft ever since. I am sure that will change once Beckam learns how to take Ashton’s toys away! For now I am enjoying watching Ashton be so cute with his brother. Newborns are never easy but Beckam is just wonderful and we love him more and more every day!
