lately

I haven't taken any pictures in a while, so I've felt like I have nothing to post about...but there has been a lot going on...

Beckett turned 2 on Wednesday!  Time goes too fast, but he is so fun at this age.  He is talking up a storm (as he has been for almost a year), but now he is starting to form sentences.  People are always so amazed at how many different things he knows the names for, concepts of, and how to say.  He not only repeats everything we say, but he is really absorbing everything too.

We didn't want to do anything big like a party this year, so we just invited a few people to join us to see Cars 2 on Saturday.  Beckett has been to the movies before and done great, but that wasn't the story on Saturday.  He watched a lot of the movie, but wanted to run around and be anywhere but in his seat.  I got to see about 70% of the movie, and loved it!  Pixar and John Lasseter never fail to get it right.

The boy is doing so well at going to sleep (when we're at home anyway) in his big boy bed without a pacifier (hasn't asked for one for weeks now and doesn't ever try to take other babies') and without crying or leaving his bed.

We are heading to Mexico in a few weeks with my family, and to avoid getting scolded at the border  (even though a kid can still get back to the states with just a birth certificate), we got Beckett a passport.  It took a few tries, but he gave us a great forward-facing, smiling, slightly cheesy picture to use.

We returned to being a two-car family.  It is nice to have the option to leave the apartment any day of the week.  Now I have no excuses for not getting grocery shopping done.  Haha.
