Happy Birthday to Beckett!






Happy Birthday, Beckett! You are ONE today! We are so proud of you and all you have accomplished over this last year. You are an amazing little guy and quite the trooper!


A little about you--


You love music of all kinds...especially Praise Baby! If you are upset or fussy, we just pop in Praise Baby, and it miraculously helps you calm down. You and daddy enjoy playing the guitar together. You really love TV--maybe a bit too much! You like to dance, dance, dance! (This is very cute and I hope to post a video of it soon). One of your favorite pastimes is picking up the crumbs off of the kitchen floor and handing them to me. You also like to play with your cans of Elecare! You have recently discovered the dvd drawer and could stand there forever pulling out the movies one by one.



You have learned so much! You have learned to crawl on your hands and knees and you have gotten your first tooth! You are pulling up to a stand and may cruise a step or two...especially if there is a remote control in your view. You go for any electronic...cell phones, phones, iPads, baby monitors, remotes. That remote control is how we got you to crawl!! :) (Something I never would have done with baby #1 because remotes are not toys, but, well...it worked and you are crawling!) You like to splash, splash in the bath tub, but prefer your baths to be pretty quick. You really like your bottle now, and will absolutely not except formula from anything but a bottle. Sippy cups just tend to get thrown back at me now, although there was a point in your life where you did take it. Not quite sure what changed your mind... You drink 6-7 bottles a day of your Elecare. You have learned to sleep a 5 to 6 hour stretch at night! Whoo Hoo!


You are about 16.4 lbs and 28 inches tall. Your clothes range in size from a 0-3 month to a 9 month just depending on the brand and what style of clothing it is. You wear a size 2 diaper when you wear a sposie, and we have moved up to the "infant" rise on your cloth diapers.


Your smile lights up the room....really. You melt people's hearts. Your have such a big big personality. You show your excitement by laughing, panting, and kicking your legs! Your laugh is absolutely contagious, and you laugh until you have to catch your breath.


You love your big brother so much that you cry when he gets out of the car in the mornings for school. You love learning from him, and he loves to teach you new things. He was so excited to run in your room yelling "Happy Birthday!" this morning! He loves you!



We all love you so much!! You are a beautiful boy and we are so blessed to have you. Happy 1st Birthday, Sweet Beckett!
