Beckett had his first trip to urgent care. We took both he and Hudson because Hudson had a really bad cough and Beckett starting showing similar symptoms. The state of WA has a pertussis (whopping cough) epidemic right now so we didn't want to take any chances. Hudson's test restults were negative. Regardless, they were both on antibiotics for a week which seemed to take care of it.

Beckett is getting taller and really looking more grown up. He is nearly 2 and has the whining to prove it. We've noticed an increase in fussiness and want to nip it in the bud. So we've started threatening "ni-ni" and putting him in his bed if/when he doesn't stop.

We are starting to think about his transition into a big boy bed and daddy has been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a bunk bed. Beckett attempted to sleep on the blow up bed for a nap but that didn't work...he got up and walked out of his room. I think we should try a sleeping bag on his floor. We've put that on pause but should probably get more disciplined about it.

His appetite has also subsided. It could be due to the fact that he eats more snacks and LOVES graham crackers and raisins right now.

His vocabulary is excelling. He is starting to sing "twinkle twinkle" to himself and knows the first 2 words of the song but can't get past that for now. He imitates Hudson a lot and has started singing the ABC song as well. He is getting really good at saying "please" and "Hudson-STOP!". Mommy taught him to say "I'm a cutie pie"...it's hilarious.

He is so stinking cute and mommy is trying to take in every last moment of Beckett being a toddler.

We love you our little Beckett-boo!
