Who does he look like?

Parents ask themselves this question a lot, and honestly I think it depends on the day. Beckett's head is definitely shaped the same as Sam's was, and he also has Sam's eyebrows. His eyes favor mine, and every now and then his hair looks like the color of mine as a baby. So I guess he really is a good mix of both of us.

What do you think?? (The only thing you can't say is that he has my thighs...little man has some serious rolls!)

Sam at 12 months

Beckett at 8 months

9 months

Time just refuses to slow down...our little man is growing up so fast! We had Beckett's 9-month check-up today, and everything was perfect. I was sure he would be off the charts with height and weight since he is now wearing 12-18 month clothes, but he was in the same range as last time.

Height: 29 inches (75%)
Weight: 23lbs, 4oz (75%)

He is really close to walking and loves pushing his toys around the house. He has mastered his b's and d's so it really sounds like he can say "da-da" and "bye-bye." I'd like to think he knows what they mean and uses them appropriately, but every now and then I find him calling George "da-da" so I don't think he quite gets it yet. But he has waved "bye-bye" on several occasions so I think we are getting close. Now if I can just get him to practice "ma-ma." :)

My favorite new thing he is doing is giving kisses. He will lean in open mouth and kiss you smack on the lips...sounds kind of gross but it is the sweetest kiss ever!!

And just last Saturday we woke up to find that overnight he had sprouted his first TWO teeth! Thank goodness because he woke up 5 times during the middle of the night on Friday (not like him) so I was glad there was a reason.

Here are a few of the pictures of Beckett taken last weekend. Thanks again, Rachel, for the fabulous shots, and thanks Mary Lauren for sweating and making a fool of yourself to make B smile. It was worth it!!

Bed head

I woke up this morning to find my little man with a crazy case of bed head. All I can say is thank goodness for hair products!

Man on the move

It's official...we have a scooter! Beckett has mastered reverse but hasn't quite figured out how to go forward. He keeps backing himself into a corner or between a couch and table and then just looks at us with eyes saying "help me out!" It is precious!

Beckett is also learning how to walk. He loves to push his toys around and is getting some good practice with his walkers too. I'm really convinced that this child might walk before he crawls. And then we're in trouble because he is a busy boy...but I wouldn't have it any other way!
