In the last month Beckett has gone through a verbal spurt. He is using short sentences and repeats everything he hears. He cracks daddy up by entering a room and saying, "whatcha' doin' buddy?" We're still working on the words for Twinkle Twinkle but he gets pieces here and there. He also sings pieces of the ABC song and Old MacDonald.
He is getting much more independent and demands that I stand way back when he climbs into the car and then up into his car seat. He doesn't want ANY help from mommy.
We really want to start being more vigilant about potty training and are anxious to be out of the diaper phase. For now, occasionally Beckett will point to his diaper and say pee-pee or poo-poo.
He and Hudson are starting to play quietly together more and more. At times they'll go up to 30 minutes just playing in Hudson's room or running around the house jumping off the beds.
His terrible 2's are definitely emerging and there are times when he's inconsolable. He'll just whine and nothing satiates him. When this gets out of control we threaten "ni-ni" and sometimes he ends up in a "time-out" in his crib. He's usually better by the time he comes out.
He still sleeps really well and eats much better than Hudson ever has. He loves proteins. Particularly salmon, chicken, and tuna. Currently he is a HUGE fan of graham crackers. Unlike his brother he's not a big fan of fruit. So much like his daddy in many ways.
I can't believe he turns 2 years old in a couple of weeks. It's been such a fun first couple years w/ him.
We love you Beckett-boo!
