I've seen this before

Recently Beckham has discovered his lips and all the fun things he can do with them (besides giving Mommy besos).

He likes to make this face when he says things like "Nooo" and "Uh-oooh."

But it struck me that I have seen this before. In fact it was literally the first thought I had in my head when Beckham was born and the nurses were cleaning him up. Here's what I saw and thought, "his lips are huge!"

And then a few weeks later, he decided to do it again.

What do you think?

In all honesty, I'm posting this in hopes of receiving $25 off my next Shutterfly order!  :)

Here's a sneak peak at some Daddy love from Beckham.  Hopefully Daddy won't read the blog until Valentine's Day!  I spent the morning taking some pictures of Beckham outside.  I'm excited I was able to get him to smile all by myself - it involved chasing after him!  He is such a ham - quite the little character.  I'll post some video of him doing his new tricks soon.  For now, accept these besos and abrazos (hugs and kisses) from our little valentine!

So Much To Say

As you can plainly see, we have not taken the time in quite a while to post some of the latest Gator Tales. But man, oh man, there are so many things to say.

Recently, Beckham has begun to say anything and everything. Some of my favorite moments are when he goes through the family tree naming everyone with their nicknames.

I point to a picture... Mama he says with a grin. Pa-pa (he doesn't want to say the "pi" of Papi yet), Ysa... Nat Nat. He goes through them all. The best is when he wakes up and asks for Dada by name -- like the first thing on his list this morning is to see me and smile.

Then after showing off his proficiency, he'll throw in a daa-dee-daa-dee-dee-daa stream of nonsense while pretending to talk on the phone to let you know he's watching you and this is what I sound like still.

He'll say 'hola' to any person that will give him the attention and loves to announce his departure of any restaurant with 'buh-bye' to all who will notice. He's quite the social butterfly!

With so much to say, I can only pray that in time we can fill his vocabulary with words of kindness and love -- that his speech would be seasoned with grace for all who he meets.
