lil of this lil of that

not much rhyme or reason to this post, but here's a little of this and a little of that from our little lives lately :) first up is how we do movie date night in our little apartment. we miss our hide-a-bed for sure, but we can make 2 couches work just as well!

next - beckam loves red robin just like his parents! he loves the bottomless fries and the balloons too - both to play with and chew on!

beckam also LOVES bath time with dad! dust usually sneaks away to pull the curtain back and start filling the tub, and that is beck's sign to hit the road down the hallway to help! he loves playing with the soap and hitting the side of the tub like dad, and i just love my handsome boys!

continuing on with the bathroom theme, beckam also loves getting ready with mom and playing with the toilet paper roll like every other kid! gotta love that token toilet paper picture, and thankfully that's all he got off before i caught him :)

 

 

next up are a few pictures from some early birthday presents for our boy! grandma cindy came down for a little black friday shopping and came bearing gifts for everyone including our soon to be 1 year old beckam :) he loved the long card full of animals of course and was so cute with opening his presents!

 

he wasn't sure whether to eat the paper or play with it or what, but we helped him eventually get to the prize inside, and he just LOVED his present from aunt Alaina! aj and beckam have spent lots of time with beck's new little animal train the past week or so, and even though beckam loves to eat the animals, aj shows him what you're really supposed to do with them! thank you sooo much Alaina - becks loves it!

 

look at present, eat present, push present, open present, play with present! so fun! i'm not sure how we forgot to get grandma cindy in a few pictures, but she was here, and we loved having her here! thanks for coming cindy and for all of the gifts and the fun we had together :) can't wait til next year!

 

finally, i know i've said this before, but aj really is beckam's favorite person. he can make beckam laugh so hard and is so nice to share his toys with him and to let beckam follow him EVERYWHERE. we love watching our little cousins be such good friends, and here they are loving beckam's carseat box together :) life is good down in portland - still wearing flip flops, beckam's doing so good with his walking, we're excited to come home for the holidays, dust is almost done quarter #4 (woohoo), and christmas is almost here! such a fun little life we have!
