Beckett has his 12 month appt in 4 days and we're anxious to see what he weighs.
He is walking exclusively and even running at times. I've also seen him start to climb. He has tried to climb up onto chairs, stools, etc. He definitely gets a workout using those little legs of his.
He has started to say "mama" when he wants his mommy which of course warms the heart. He has also started using the sign for "more" when he's sitting in his hi-chair eating.
Now that he's 1 year we were able to upgrade his car seat and turn him around so that he's facing frontwards. He is drinking cow's milk but still from a bottle. We still warm it up but are leaving the milk in the warmer less and less each time so he can get used to cold milk. He has proven that he is not quite ready for a sippy cup. He doesn't quite understand the concept of tilting it up in order to get the milk to come out.
He is sick with a cold right now and we have been suctioning his little nose which is red and fairly raw. Poor thing! We were in the Methow visiting nana/papa last weekend and Beckett and papa made a special connection over the weekend. Beckett would start going right to papa when coaxed. SO STINKING CUTE!!! I don't know who loves it more...us or papa!
He continues to have a voracious appetite and does not discriminate when it comes to food groups. We've even fed him salmon and while he wasn't sure about the texture at first he went right on eating it.
He is such a sweet little boy and we continue to watch the bond form between Beckett and his big brother.
