Beckett is 2!!


Can you believe my baby boy is two? I know I can't. Beckett is such a joy to our home. He is stringing words together to form nearly comprehensible sentences and has added words like "actually" and "dinosaur" to his ever-growing repertoire. As a mother, I was so proud of his first two-syllable word, "broccoli" and am amazed by how quickly children learn at this stage.
He has pretty much given up his binky...which is good and bad. It will make the dentist happy, but has complicated things when it comes to nap and bedtime (the only times he was allowed to have the bink).
Beckett is really our little stinker. I truly think he does things for the reaction about 95% of the time. He has started to give these really painful "bite" kisses. You think he is being really sweet, coming at you with one of those famous, toddler open-mouthed kisses, and the next thing you know, he has totally bitten your lips. It really hurts big time...so grandmas and unsuspecting friends...BEWARE!!
He is our little night owl and would go all night long if we'd let him. He puts up quite the fight and we are hoping that his iron will will also be used for good later in life. It is all about the smack down around here. We are constantly having to show him "who's boss"...it's usually us...
Beckett has the best sense of humor and loves to make us laugh. Mackay can't get enough of him and Beckett misses "brother/Kaizer" when he is at preschool. I can't wait to see what he ends up doing when he is older...but I am thinking something like a Navy Seal or a WWF Wrestler...it's a toss up.

WWF wrestler, for sure! I think there's more dinero in that too! Happy Birthday big boy! We love you Beckett, and have to laugh at your adorable personality. Thanks for teaching your older and smaller cousin how to hold his own...finally he's starting to stick up for himself...because of you! We love you! Now, go take a nap! :)
