Here are also a few things that he is up to these days.
*Beckham has mastered the crawl. He gets around very fast and crawls very determinedly. It's serious business you know.
Below is a picture of his shoes. He has worn these for a long time until he started to crawl, and then they couldn't last through this kid.
*Beckham is getting to be a good little walker. He can walk along side just about anything, but he gets a bit nervous to let go.
*Our little boy now has 4 teeth. What an accomplishment. Now he loves to grind them together. When he does, he looks like he has a pout lip.
*Beckham babbles and tells all kinds of stories. He likes to be part of the conversation. If he notices that Jason and I are talking without him, he is quick to pipe in a few babbles. If he hears us laugh in conversation, he musters up a pretty good fake laugh. Don't leave this one out!
*Lately, Beckham has been a little bit of a mischief maker. He likes to empty every drawer, bottle, bag, and basket he can see. And most of the time it just makes a big mess. For example, the cocoa puffs cereal has been emptied a number of time on my nice clean kitchen floor. Apparently little boys don't reach in a hand for one or two pieces. It is much more fun to dump everything out.
*Beckham can be a little disobedient, and I have a difficult time not giggling to myself. He knows what things are "no-nos" (touching the blinds, the toilet, dad's school books, etc), but he likes to push the limits. Sometimes it gets really quiet and I know that he is getting into something he shouldn't. I usually call his name and right after I can hear him hurry as fast as he can to do as much as he can with a no-no before this mom gets after him.
*This boy likes to dance and listen to music. Sometimes when a song comes on, he bobs his head along with the beat. Soon after his arms and body sway with the tune. It's pretty cute.
*He is also a very inquisitive boy. Beckham likes to inspect new objects and look closely at each part closely. We are still doing this with all our new toys. He enjoys puzzles and to have mom help him see how the pieces fit together. When we do this, I can look at his face and see the wheels turning in his little mind.
*I have a little social butterfly here. Beckham loves to see other people, especially other kids. He gets so excited to see them at church, in the store, or at the park. He goes crazy by kicking his legs and squealing with excitement.
*He is a good sleeper. However we struggle to get this guy to sleep in a little. No matter when this one goes to bed, he is always awake by 6:30.
*Our little boy is all boy. He loves to play with balls, which Daddy is very happy about. He also loves to wrestle his daddy at night. Mom just doesn't do for this game.
*And, Beckham loves to be outside. We don't even need to be doing anything. He just loves to be in the great out doors. I am already getting a little nervous for winter when we are all inside all day long.
*He likes to accompany me to the grocery store. The big shopping carts are great! They have steering wheels and Beckham takes his job in the cart very seriously. I mean, someone's got to drive us through the store.
*Recently, Beckham has been randomly giving hugs. He wraps his arms around my neck and presses his face on my shoulder. All the while, he says "awe". I don't know where it came from, but I must say, those hugs are the best!
This little one has completely changed my life and makes me so happy to be his mom. This year has flown by and has got to be the best year yet for Jason and me.
