Words

Thought I'd record Beckett's first vocabulary - - he really understands a lot of our conversations and will listen to everything you say, so we have to be more careful now. Granted, usually I'm the only one that can tell his words apart from each other, these are the words he is using pretty consistently (but never on cue): mama, dada, fish, puppy, kitty, moo (working on cow still), howls (for a wolf), baby, button, ballon, bird, ball, bye bye, hi, juice, bottle, shoes, car, bath... and I know eventually I will not be able to list them. Such an amazing process to watch him absorb so much each day.

Tupperware, not just for storage

Beckett loves his tupperware drawer, and is developing a good sense of humor - the combination resulted in a astro-beckett adventure around the living room (I think he likes the little echo it makes). He tried unsuccessfully to get mom and dad to wear equally cool hats, but sadly, we need bigger tupperware bowls.

Happy Easter

We were blessed to have family and friends come visit us over the holiday. Beckett was not quite sure what to make of the egg hunt, but he soon found out that since there were little treats hidden in the eggs, they were worth putting up with the adults and their cheering. It was great to see Tammy and the girls and Peter and Carolyn. The day just went by too quickly.
