bex at one year

Baby Beckham you are one!  I suppose you're not really a baby baby anymore, but you sure feel like one to us...and you're definitely not pushed to grow up too quickly!
We LOVE this boy and are so happy he is in our family.
This year has flown by, and yet I can't easily recall life before he was in it.
Beckham at One:
-Happy 98% of the time
-Good napper: two 2-3 hour naps a day
-Cuddly & lovey.  He loves to be held and wants to cuddle often.
-Still content to just chill by himself.  Quiet & often found playing contentedly in his bedroom.
-Loves music & dancing.
-Takes 3-4 steps in a row; falls when he realizes what he's doing or gets scared.
-Wearing 12-18 month stuff depending on what it is; short & stocky so far
-Makes lots of cute nosise, but not saying anything substantial
-Laughs & giggles a lot.  Loves just about everyone.
-Water baby.  Splashes, dives in, pours cups over his head, etc.  Loves his tubs & doesn't want to get out till the last drop has gone out.
-Hates being dressed & changed
-Chronic congestion the past month.  Poor kid wakes up every 3rd hour or so because he's so stuffed up he can't breathe
-Had albuterol treatments several times & sits so still on my lap and laughs the whole time.  Pretty dang cute!
-Loves balls.  Throws them everywhere & makes this grunting sound while doing it.
-Mischievous.  Loves daddy's speakers, wires, phones, dangerous cupboards, lamps, etc.  Just smiles when told no, but will sometimes get a pouty lower lip.
-Great eater.  Knows just when it's meal time & loves anything & everything including homemade chicken pot pie, cereals, eggs, sandwiches, yogurt, popsicles, crackers, cookies, fish, tortillas, & all other food he's given.  Smacks his lips & sticks his tongue out when anyone else is eating.
-Loves his bottles & drinks formula till my other two cans are gone. (: Doesn't love water or juice, but has tried drinking from a sippy & thinks it's fun, so hopefully the transition in a couple weeks will go smoothly.
-totally fun.  we cannot get enough of this kid & neither can most other people!
