That's right, friends! He's ONE! And mama's feeling all the feels, you guys, as I suppose one does when it's the last baby. Beck has grown so much in the last couple of months. And, although he shows little interest in actual toddling (beyond cruising the sofa), he's more a toddler than a baby these days.

I won't stand for my lunch or dinner being served late and will sit on mommy's feet and fuss until I get my food.
When Zoey turned one, I gave her a birthday waffle and smoothie breakfast, so we had to continue the tradition with Beck. Here's Zoey on her big day. Oh my gosh...those cheeks!
We'll be officially celebrating this weekend with some family (another post on that soon), but we had to celebrate a little bit on Beck's actual birthday...in keeping with tradition. Beck was a little uncertain about the whole situation, this pic captures something between a laugh (I'm tickling his leg to get him to smile) and a cry (cuz I won't let him grab the candle). Zoey and I sang "Happy Birthday" while he danced in his chair, she blew out the candle, and Beck slammed his smoothie before chowing down on his cinnamon waffle. Not a bad start to year number two.

Here's a few more pics from this last month...
This last shot shows Beck for exactly who he is. Super chill. So far in his little life, he's a pretty agreeable kiddo, unless he's tired or hungry, which is a major switch from his big sis. Her drama is unparalleled.
We brought Beck home from the hospital on Father's Day last year, which made the day extra special. This year, remembering that day, it seemed like it was just a few months ago. It's always so surprising to me how quickly the time flies!
Happy birthday, Little Man!
