Beckster's 2nd birthday!

Yes, our little boy is 2!!! Well, he's been 2 for almost a month now, but you know how keeping up on blogging goes... ;) Here is a little rundown of our favorite little 2-year-old's big day:

The last pictures ever of him as a 1-year-old! (He was tired and just wanted to go to sleep...)



We let Beck open a couple presents right when he woke up, and then apparently we let him eat a cupcake for breakfast... I don't remember this, haha.


Then Lindsay took him on a little date and made him a real breakfast at her place!






Adam is officially the best Dad ever--he made Beck's tractor cake! We just baked two loaf pans of cake, and Adam took off from there. (I made the frosting and actual cake--does that count for something?)






Overall it was a fun party! It was a tractor theme, with green and yellow everywhere. We played Pin the Tail on the Tractor, had cake and ice cream, opened presents and then played with little farm bins (containers filled with rice and fun farm animals and tractors). I think everybody's favorite was the bins! The kids went absolutely crazy with the rice, it was really fun. Thank goodness, because it took me like 45 minutes to vacuum afterward, haha. I only wish our house was big enough to fit ALL of the people we wanted to invite! Here are a ton of pictures with all of that. :)







































Yay! Happy birthday, our wonderful little dude!

Little conversations

Can I just say that I LOVE the fact that I can have little conversations with my cute little boy? He is to the point where he pretty much understands everything, and has quite a decent vocabulary where he can usually figure out how to answer, or how to communicate what he's thinking. I just love it! Here's a random little convo we had while he was taking a bath today.

Easily excited Beck :)

As per usual, I avoid making big posts of things going on (like our trip to Boise, or D.C., or AZ, or UT--maybe one day I'll catch up!), so here is a cute little video of Beck's fascination with the drinking fountain I recorded a while back. Enjoy. ;)



I love that he is so easily excited about the littlest things. I used to be like that when I was a kid! He helps me remember to try to stay that way. :)

Beck counting from 1-10 @ 22 months

So a couple weeks ago I counted to 5 out loud for something and then Beck was like, "6,7,8..." So within a matter of like 1 minute of going over it with him, he was counting from 1-10. Who knows how long he's known how to! I'm a slacker mom in that area, apparently!
