clean up duty

you know.....we were absolutely sure that life would be better for beckam when he started crawling or walking cuz he seemed to want to get moving so bad, but i can now admit that we were way wrong! he's all over the place now getting stuck in awkward positions and faceplanting and cracking his head on tables and walls, and he's always wanted to be with us all the time, but now he can be cuz he can find us no matter where we hide in this little apartment! anyway, it's been frustrating at times and hard some days, but i decided to make the best of our attached relationship the other day and make some sugar cookies together :)

becks was back to the bumbo and got counter side seats to the cookie action, and he loved the bosch and watching the beaters go round and round!

he also loved the measuring spoons and helped with the baking powder as you can see! playing with them was way more fun though :)

to keep him happy while i rolled and cut out our cookies, i gave becks one of the beaters, and he took on the clean up duty roll quite well! he wasn't too sure at first, but as soon as he got his first taste, he was all over it and was not happy when it was time to do the dishes!

i got some new cookie cutters the other day, and aj helped me cut out the letters for his name and beck's. sadly, we didn't get any pictures of my little age helper, but here's beckam enjoying the fruits of his labor!

mmmmm.....cookies!

overall, our cookie making experience was a little more stressful than usual with helpers galore and with some fussing along the way, but it was super duper fun and something i can't wait to keep doing with my kids, especially when they make clean up duty look that cute!
