Oh brother bear I am slacking in blogging about your life. I'm sorry sweet boy! You just keep me so busy that I don't have time to sit down and write. But I make notes of things I want to remember so hopefully you can look back one day and good idea of what you were like. You are such a sweetie and love people. You say "hi" and "bye" to anyone you come across. And you don't stop saying it until they acknowledge you. You have the sweetest voice but we don't hear many words come out quite yet. You are very loud none the less :) The ones you say consistently are hi, bye, momma, daddy, ball, nigh nigh, wah wah, apple, baby, Elle, and dog. You moo, bark, growl, and make monkey noises. You sing "ei-ei" for Old McDonald Had a Farm and "row row" for Row Row Row Your Boat. Apple is your word for any kind of food and what you say when you are hungry. Funny boy! You still worship your sister. Though you do push her buttons :) The more she tells you no, the more you do it. But she makes you laugh harder than anyone else and your favorite place is by her side. You love to stack blocks and vroom around the house with hour trucks. Your getting more into choo choo's so I think it is time to get you some trains to play with. You like to hug and kiss Elle's baby dolls and you hug all stuffed animals. Books are a huge favorite of yours. You bring me books all day to read to you. A potty training book and any animal book are your favorite. You also like dinosaur books. You are quite the little athlete already. You can hit a golf ball so well and are a pro at hitting a baseball off of daddies old tee. He is so proud! He will say "two hands" to you and you grab a bat or golf club and swing it. You still cuddle me on the couch when you are sleepy or watching a show. Lately you have been reaching for me when I put you in your crib and want me to rock you. Oh you have my heart!!
It never fails that you fall asleep in the car. You are so used to being busy with Elle's schedule that you just take naps when you can get them :)
We are so in love with you Beck. You are our little mascot at home and make all of us laugh. You definitely complete our family.
