Beckham...

I feel like I need to do an update on Beckham.  I was just thinking the other day about all the funny ways Parker used to pronounce words and how it's so wild to me that he no longer says them, because he is talking so much better.  Then I thought, I need to do a really good update on Beckham while he is learning how to talk so I can remember these days.  Beckham still is having SUCH a hard time with articulation.  However, he is talking, that's a good thing!  I love how he says "M&M's" like "miaaah, miaaaah"...so cute.  He and calls oatmeal "bow-booooow" which kind of makes me laugh because Parker called it "bieber"!  haha.  Parker is "ker ker"  He doesn't say his "ee's" very well, but he can say his O's like a champ!  "sancho", "poe poe", "boat", etc.  He calls his lion "Baa!", and his blanky that he loves "baa-baa".  All of his other words sound kind of like the word, so there isn't a whole lot of funny ones like Parker had.

My sweet Beckham is also such a snuggle-er.   He needs to snuggle on a regular basis, and if you just give him that- he will be so much more happier.  He will bring me his blanket in the morning and point at the couch and say his word for snuggle.  I will confirm that's what he wants and go snuggle with him while watching cartoons.  Once he fills his cup, he will leave and go play.  If he's frustrated and wants some time with me and I'm busy and don't do it, he will be so fussy, but if I just stop what I'm doing and give him what he needs, it makes my life so much easier.  Then, I thought, oh Father, never let me get so busy, that when my boys WANT me and NEED me I can't give them my undivided attention.  I want to train them, that I WANT to be with them and spend time with them.  They are getting to an age now where they play with each other so much- which is nice- I can do Bible study or things around the house.  However, there are several times throughout the day, where Parker and Beckham want me to play with them.  OK!  You got it, baby!  You want me involved, I'm coming, because I want to train you that I love spending time with you!  I want you to always know I am right there, waiting to play, or talk or just "be".  I love my baby boys!!

Ok, well, my precious Beckham still loves his trains, trucks, cars and big brother.  He loves being silly and funny.  He loves playing hide and seek with his big brother and he loves Sancho.  He loves helping Parker do his chores like feeding the animals and washing dishes.  He loves being thrown up in the air by daddy and he loves playing "this little piggy" on his toes.  He LOVES to take his pants off and run around in a diaper and of course he hates shoes.  He loves riding his bike and driving his big truck.  I love him so so much and can't imagine life without him.  You're still my boo bear my precious Beckham!!!
