New Sounds, New Foods

We've discovered a few things this week. Beckett loves carbs! He eats any type of bread and will eat (or just play with) pasta as well. He loves wheat bread and I have to force myself to choke it down. I'm glad he likes it though. He is also starting to make more sounds and doing more babbling. He will say "Mama" and "Dada" but we're not sure he really understands them yet. He sometimes looks at Albert and makes a "T" sound, but the other day, he would look at Bert and say "Dada." Joe was mad, but I thought it was pretty funny. Until he called Clarence Mama. :-)

We've also had some sickness going around our household. Beckett had some type of stomach bug (so did I) and when we took him to the doctor, she said he had an ear infection. We didn't even know! But, I think we are all healthy again! Thank goodness!

We finally celebrated Joe's birthday a little late since we were sick. We went to Frederick and ate at a BBQ place and Beckett looked like he was going to order off of the menu. It was a beautiful day so we walked by the creek and it was a really nice day. I even make Joe a cake. It was hideous but he was happy.

Almost 10 Months!

It is hard to believe that Beckett is almost 10 months old already! He is getting a mouth full of teeth and trying to "walk" everywhere. He pulls up on everything and gets frustrated if he wants to walk and you do not. He is also a great eater! There are very few things he refuses to eat. (He definitely came from us.) He doesn't like meats, but he will eat any fruit or vegetable and even likes wheat bread. He likes anything he can actually pick up himself and put in his mouth. I think we bought 5 different kinds of puffs to keep him occupied while we eat! He finally started to crawl just a few days ago. He has been bear crawling all over the place and can get anywhere he wants to go, but now that he has figured out how to crawl on all fours, he is much faster. He is obsessed with the dog food, and I must admit, has unfortunately had the luck of tasting it before it was ripped out of his mouth. He gets cuter everyday, but he is also learning how to express anger and frustration in the form of screeching when he does not get his way. Let's hope that phase doesn't last long! :-)
