Beau - 4 Months

Time and I need to have a chat, because it's going by WAY too quickly!

Another month older, and loved by mommy and daddy even more! I often think back at my life without Beau and feel like I just had no clue how amazing life would be with him in it. He brings an incredible amount of laughter and love into our lives each day, and I thank God that He chose us to be this special boy's parents. 😍 😍 😍

We are a month into me going back to work and Beau going to daycare. The first day was obviously not fun for me and I couldn't get out of work fast enough to drive the 50 minutes to go pick him up. (Sorry, mom.... I was totally speeding.) It has since gotten a lot easier, especially knowing that he is in such great care and the ladies in the infant room just adore him. I mean, duh.... of course they love him! He's such a happy baby and he is totally the cutest baby ever. 😉

Beau is exploring his voice even more now, and his laughter is the greatest sound I've ever heard.

He loves to stand, babble, stare at Gauge, play with his little stuffed animals that Nonna bought him, and he loves story time. (Shout out to Kelsey for buying him The Incredible Farkle McBride. He LOVES it!!)

We had a great first Christmas as a family of three, too! Thank you to everyone who thought it necessary to buy a 4 month old gifts. (Totally NOT necessary, but very much appreciated!) I know Beau will love playing with all the toys, and I can't wait to see his face when he finally realizes that the book that Grandma and Pa gave him is read aloud by them! What a special gift! Definitely one that Beau and I will cherish forever. ❤

And because I have a problem of not being able to take just one photo... here's a whole bunch!!

Physical Therapy

We had our second physical therapy appointment today at Cincinnati Children's. For those of you who don't know, Beau was diagnosed with torticollis at two months. We've been doing stretches at home to help, and it's paying off! He already has better range of motion from his first appointment two weeks ago. We are, however, getting a referral to the plastic surgery center to get scans done to hopefully rule out the need of a helmet for his plagiocephaly. Fingers crossed!!! 🤞🤞
