Beck

Beck is growing faster than a weed and it breaks my heart. But I am loving and am amazed by all the new things he's saying and doing. He has such a sweet heart and an adventurous spirit.

Beck is finally potty trained! Well for the most part, still wearing diaper to bed. I think he's so stinkin' cute running around in his little undies. He loves our cheering after every trip to the bathroom and reminds us he's a big boy.

Beck is getting freckles! I loves his little sun kissed face sprinkled with spots.

Beck can say The Pledge of Allegiance all by himself. We used to tell him to look for american flags when we drove places to keep him busy and then would say it after spotting one. He quickly picked up on it and now he repeats it every time we pass a flag holding his little hand over his belly.

He can also say The First Article of Faith. While first learning it he would say;

"We believe in God the ninja turtle, and in his son, Jesus Christ, Amen, and in the Holy cow".

He finally has it down correctly.

Beck loves the water. We were in California visiting the Clark farm a couple of weeks ago (pictures coming soon), and he swam all day every day. He would dive into the splash pool and swim back and forth under water while holding his breath. He was a little nervous in the big pool but he can totally swim! He's such a little fish.

Beck is so great with Paisley. I love hearing his little voice on the monitor in the morning (the mornings he actually wakes up in his bed and not ours... something that isn't super common the past few weeks) and hear him telling Paisley she's a "sweet girl" and "it's time to wake up and play".

We are starting a neighborhood co-op preschool group next month and I'm really excited. I think he'll love it. Beck is starting to show so much interest in learning and it's pretty amazing the things he picks up. Yesterday I told him to stop splashing Paisley in the bathtub and his response was "I'm not a child!"... I couldnt stop laughing because it caught me so off guard.

Beck keeps telling us he wants a big dog named Dude. We just had him tested for allergies and of course he's allergic. They told us to wait on pets until he's a little older. He's also allergic to every weed and grass outside. The worst.

We love our little Beck and although we wish he could be a baby forever, we sure love watching him grow into such a fun little boy. He's daddy's best bud and mommies little sidekick.
