Beckett is starting to put a couple of words together to form mini sentences. He is saying things like, "i want outside", "I want...juice", "I want...hat", etc.

He is getting really good at going up and down stairs on his own. He doesn't get much practice around our house but the front steps and off the deck are good training grounds.

He is so similar to Beau in so many ways. He is our little tank engine and certainly a rough and tumble BOY. He's very strong as I predicted early on in utero and has no fear at this point. His independence is starting to emerge more and more as he wants to do things on his own. He can climb into his high chair by himself.

He's also like his daddy in that he loves proteins, specifically meat and isn't huge on sweets. I'm starting to wonder if he has an aversion to red foods. He won't eat watermelon or strawberries. At least, not right now.

He takes 1 nap usually around noon and typically sleeps for a couple hours. He goes to bed between 7-7:30 depending on his signs and wakes up around 7. However, the reason he wakes up is because of Hudson either being loud or going into his room. I have a feeling if Hudson wasn't around that Beckett would easily sleep until 8. He's always been a phenomenal sleeper which makes mommy & daddy very happy.

He maintains his status as a toe head and his hair is getting really long. The curls in the back are just so cute.

He and Hudson are starting to play together much more and it is the cutest thing to watch. They tend to have a love/hate relationship and Hudson will be picking on him one minutes and then hugging & kissing him the next.

He's getting bigger and bigger and sometimes when I look at him asleep in his crib I can't believe how much of the bed his body now takes up. My baby is disappearing and a darling little boy is emerging!

We love you Beck-a-boo!
