Beckett is now an expert at using his sippy cup. We bought him a new one that is much easier to drink out of and he uses it consistently and likes apple juice. I swear he is even starting to say "juice". He has started to run and walk backwards and seems very impressed with himself. He got 1/2 of a flu shot at his 12 mth appt and goes in at the end of the month for the second 1/2. (2 separate doses necessary due to his size)
He continues to be a great sleeper and a great eater. He eats really anything put in front of him and in abundance. We are starting to migrate him from 2 naps to 1 (at least mommy is) and he typically goes down at 7pm and wakes up ~6:30am. He would probably sleep even longer but he hears Hudson awake.
We are starting to see signs of separation anxiety when we drop him off at daycare. He starts to cry and doesn't want me to leave. However, we've been pretty successful in distracting him with a toy so I can slip out. He is in a major mommy phase and always want to be held. I probably encourage it by picking him up all the time but it's so hard for me to resist because I know this time is so precious and I'll never get it back.
He is starting to say "dada" more often and is becoming much more interactive. He looks right at you and loves to get a reaction. He giggles when tickled and is starting to enjoy being read to. He is such a sweetheart. He continues to love watching Hudson and learn from him. We are anxious to hear his next words.
We love you so much our little bek-a-boo!
