18months

I blinked and now my baby is now 18months. It just went so fast. Too fast. I hate it. I hate how fast these sweet little babes grow. Beckett is doing great and still sweet as ever. 






We went to the Doctor today for his shots and check up. He hates the doctor so much. But really hated the nurse jabbing him in the thighs with shots. He kept grabbing my neck and hugging it, then pushing me away. He probably wanted my comfort but was like wait, your letting her do this to me- go away! Haha today was the most he's ever cried with shots. And he has been off all day since. Poor kid. 



He weighed 26.2 lbs and I forgot his height. Oops. He is right on track. 
Beckett still is in size 5 diaper. 12-18 and some 18-24 month clothing. He wears size 6 shoe and likes to throw his own clothes in the hamper when we get him undressed. He knows where is eye, nose, belly and mouth are. He's so stubborn so this is good! Haha! He says a lot of words I can't remember- he is always calling his brother. He says ok, hi, bye, water, go, thank you, baby, ball, blanket, baba, milk, love you, night night, puppy, bite.....that's all I can think of off hand. He still only knows what a duck says (quack quack) I've been letting him climb up and down the stairs himself to get used to it and he's doing great! 
I tell Beckett to do something and he for the most part, listens. ❤️ just the other days he decided on his own to put his shoes on Bridgers shoe rack. (I don't keep becks there but he knew that was the rule) so adorable! 
He is better about stranger danger and smiles at more people now. He absolutely adores everyone in his family. He is the most loving little boy. He is 100% a mamas boy. He strokes my hair, and my face and gives me kisses all on his own. He hugs my legs whenever I'm cooking or doing dishes, he acknowledges I'm there and that he loves me. Lately he just sits with me on the couch and hangs out. On my lap usually or right next to me where he's touching me. He holds my hand a lot while doing that. He holds my hand a lot in general. While shopping he hugs me from the seat of the shopping cart. He tries to communicate so much but obviously can't yet so he kind of grunts or whines a lot more. But learning new words he will repeat after us each time. 



He loves to spend some time with Ryan as soon as he gets home. He wants to be held, and hugged by daddy. He needs his love. He follows Bridger everywhere. He climbs all over him, on him, or he will just sit there next to Bridger watching what he's doing while his little hand is on his lap the entire time. 



I tried to teach him how to ride a tricycle the other day but he would rather me just push him. He loves being outside and getting into anything out there to see what it's about. He loves playing with balls and actually kicks and throws them pretty good. He copies every single we do. Sometime too much! Haha! But literally sounds, actions, etc. makes me laugh all the time. He has major dancing vibes running thru his veins. The kid LOVES to dance and dances at any music he hears. Sometimes even nodding his head to the beat. He picks up when I ask, he helps me all the time. A lot of time with things I'm not even asking him to help with. 



It amazes me how opposite he and Bridger are. Obviously no 2 people are the same but they are SO opposite. Bridger was definitely a tougher baby and toddler and I learned a lot from him, and I often catch myself being so surprised and so shocked at how Beckett reacts to things and acts in certain moments. Bridger definitely is a bit tougher- no nonsense, doesn't have time
For a lot of stuff, and gets annoyed so easily. Beckett wears his heart on his sleeve and sincerely cares about how others feel around him. I always say he is a sweet soul. I think they are a perfect mixture and will be able to help eachother out in the areas they aren't as familiar in. They are best friends already. I hope they always love eachother this much. I am so thankful for my boys and that Beckett is the one who completed our family. He is so perfect and I could just stare at him all day. He starts Mother's Day out in over a week and it makes me so sad. I like being with him. It's easy. He's easy. He's so sweet. He's a breath of fresh air. 



I will blink again and he will be 2. By then I might have some terrible twos going on. I'm going to sit back and soak in all
Of this still kinda baby-ness of my last babe. And especially all the affection and love I get from him all day. I wouldn't have it any other way!
