1 year ago (on dec 11th), we welcomed little beckam richard marshall tolman into our family, and life hasn't been the same since! he is our pride and joy, and we LOVE being parents. we feel especially blessed to be HIS parents and can't wait for the many more birthdays we get to celebrate together! i wish i could insert a newborn picture here, but i'm at home without my computer, so you'll just have to enjoy recent ones of my little 1 year old :)
here he is walking all over the place! he decided 1 week before his 1st birthday would be a great time to start the whole walking thing, and he hasn't turned back since! he loves the freedom, and we're all dealing with the bumps and bruises!
there were 2 other little kiddies in our ward celebrating their 1st birthdays around the same time, so we did a joint birthday party at the church for the 3 little rascals. here's brandy and i doing our last minute cupcake icing before the party got started!
here is the hubby enjoying an early cupcake treat to help him get through the party!
and here......are the 3 birthday kids :) beckam, holly, and lashae, and they were all soooo cute! beckam was a little nervous about his cake while holly enjoyed watching the other 2 more than eating her own, and little lashae.....
well clearly, she dove right in and was the queen cake smasher birthday girl!
one other perk of having my computer with me would have been that i could have collaged these next few cake face beckam shots, but lucky you, you get to see them all full sized intead! once he got a taste of that icing, there was no turning back! i think he ate at least 1/2 his cake, and he loved every minute of it :)
i can't say enough about how much i love this kid! he makes me smile every day - all day, and i can't get enough of his chubby cheeks and amazing grin :) a few noteworthy traits of this little cutie pie:
-his only words are appo and uh-oh but they don't really mean anything - he just likes the sound of his voice
-he still likes the swads at bed time
-he's an awesome eater and loves strawberries and blueberries and chicken nuggets and PBJ's
-he may or may not be turning into a bit of a mama's boy, but we're working on it!
-he loves to dance but gets this embarrassed smile whenever he's about to get his groove on
-he loves his puppy and his basketball
-he can't get enough of barney or tad, and i'm actually ok with it!
-he's starting to throw little mini tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants.......not cool but noteworthy
-he is the smiliest cutest boy in the whole wide world, and he's ours!
happy birthday bubs! i love you eleventy four and forever and ever :)

While the pictures are a ton of fun, I've got say, they seem far less fun and important now that we've got the little booger here at home where access to his smiles is easy!!!
For those of you obliged to get your Beckam fix through blog world, eat your heart out!!!!
It's an absolute scream to have the real thing here. Almost makes me want to book a ticket o Portland some time somewhere down the line when I'll need another dose of Beckam's smiles!
Absolutely adorable! And I'm glad you didn't make a collage of the cake in the face pictures. It was fun to see them all close up.
How fun!! It looks like he absolutely loved that cake once he got in there. He is so cute!!
How CUTE!!! What a sweet little boy! You are a great blogger, which is so great for your family...It's nice to have all those fun memories written down! Keep it up!
