2 Months Home and 15 Months

This week we celebrated 2 special days. Beau turned 15 months old on Monday and as of Wednesday, Beau has been home 2 months!

Wow! Raleigh and I are so amazed that the Lord saw fit to bless us with sweet Beau. It is a privilege and honor to parent him and we do not take the responsibility lightly. We pray that he becomes a warrior for Christ as he grows up!

Over the last month (while Beau was 14 months old) he got in a new tooth. As of today he has 9 teeth that are completely in and 2 more that are poking through.

Beau has started to use the sippy cup recently. We are encouraging him to use it throughout the day and we are limiting the bottle to nap time and bedtime. Obviously there are exceptions to this some days, but we are making progress towards less bottles. However, we are totally comfortable with Beau still being on the bottle and will continue nap and bedtime bottles for a bit longer.

I know I said this when Beau turned 14 months old, but he really is close to walking. His balance is improving everyday. It is so fun to watch him try to stand. He is an excellent cruiser and gets more adventurous all the time!

Beau is such a joy and we love him more and more everyday! I mentioned in previous post that we were waiting to get a surgery date scheduled for Beau. Well, we were given 2 options...Oct. 31 or Nov. 2. We didn't want Beau to miss his first Halloween, so we chose November 2. We are on a waiting list for an earlier date, so I will let you know if anything changes.

I will leave you with a few pictures of Beau at 14 months old...

Beau loves to eat popsicles with dad!
Ready for dinner!
Beau thinks it is hilarious when he puts his foot on the tray of the highchair!
Beau is in his pj's playing with a new toy!
Beau is playing with another new toy! It is a stacking puzzle from one of my former students.
He concentrates really hard to put the puzzle back together!
