18 months.



Beckett,
Wow, what a difference a month can make. a week for that matter. you are now 18 months and oh my goodness, you are coming into your own. you make us laugh everyday. you understand everything we ask of you. now it's just going to be you learning to communicate it and that you are starting to do. you walk to to the refrigerator and say "ilk" for milk.

foods you've been eating:
you love chips, greek yogurt, peas, graham crackers, cheese eggs with pepper, you chug veggie/fruit smoothies, coconut water, tortellini, raisin bran, quesadillas, you love blueberries, fig newtons, pb&j, turkey, spaghetti, string cheese, sharp cheddar, tomatoes, clementines, grapes, corn, pretty much anything, if you are in the mood for it.

things i don't want to forget.
  • how you have an electric toothbrush and you like it
  • how you stand at the window and wave when one of us leave
  • how you will give us a surprise face and then squench up your face and eyes and show your teeth. over and over and over
  • how when we are reading "where's my mummy" you say "ahh" when we turn the page to the when the mummy screams "ahh, a mouse"
  • how you are pushing all your cars (hot wheels) and trucks
  • how you know all your body parts and you love saying "eyez" while pointing to your eyes and any eyes
  • how you finally transitioned to one nap (for the most part)
  • how well you traveled to WI and TX (and you finally didn't seem to mind going to anyone in the family, and enjoyed everyone)
  • how hard and fast you rock on the sheep
  • how you don't mind water in your face at all. you will just stand and let it drip all over your face
  • how you love to type on the computer keyboard
  • how when you weren't sure if you wanted to sleep or not (overtired) you would just bang your head on your bead. you got a bruise. i felt so bad
  • how you will take floss out of the dispenser and wrap it around your bottom tooth (only once) and turn your head
  • you love to sing
  • how i spent six hours on your 2nd halloween costume (superman entire outfit: cape, pants, undies, shirt) and you got sick and didn't get to wear it. except for the 5 minutes you were lying on the floor with daddy and then you fell asleep on the couch. first time ever.
  • how when we were driving home in a snow storm from our WI trip, 1 o'clock in the morning, you vomited everywhere. and screamed until 4 o'clock in the morning.
  • how i showed you once how to blow kisses and you picked it right up
  • how you pick up the chapstick on the nightstand and pretend to put it on
  • how you will take a kleenex and pretend to blow your nose
  • how you will take a cloth and pretend to be cleaning the floor or furniture
  • how you dance around real fast and stomp your feet. your dad calls it "happy feet." we only say "happy feet" and you will start dancing around
  • how you raise one leg and swing it around and try to balance, sometimes holding on to something.
we love you beckett, to the moon and back. you are so fun. i just love watching you grow!
