My Boy

Beckham (20 months) has become such a boy. I can't believe how he has shot up tall and thin. He just learned "mine" and "no" (I really have no idea where he learned the word "mine"...is it innate in toddlers??) and it's quite the trial. Ha. He has very strong opinions on what he wants, as I'm sure does every toddler. We are heading right into the terrible two's. On the bright side, one of his other new words is "squeeze" (sounds like "skeez") which is accompanied by a tight hug around our necks. These squeezes are our favorites. Beckham has also become quite the kissy boy - we just love his affection. This really is my favorite age so far. He is learning so much and so fast. He says new words every day, and really understands what we say to him. To replace the words he doesn't know, he finds some other sort of body language to make us understand him. This includes pushing - when he wants you somewhere he gets behind you and pushes you there. His all time favorite activity is "driving" the car. All day long he wants to sit in the driver's seat and play with the buttons and the steering wheel. His second favorite activity is a ride in the wheelbarrow.

Favorite words: car, truck, tractor, ride, outside, drive
