Big kids

We went to the Pediatrician this week and it's not a surprise, but Beckham is huge! He is way off the charts for height and 97th percentile for weight (35lbs)! Caeden is growing well but is still about the 25th percentile for everything, maybe it's because he was 17 days early or maybe he'll just be our short child! He's starting to look chubby and he's defnitely a happy baby, especially since we've been giving him zantac for his acid reflux. He smiles at us all the time and sometimes makes cute little noises.

Last night Trey was in the Primary talent show at church. He wanted to do something different so we set up the ingredients for Snickerdoodles and he did a cooking demonstration like a show on the food network. He really enjoyed being on stage and feeling special and eating all the cookie dough while we were practicing.

Beckham has been experiencing the toddler "language explosion" and now talks all the time. He's been putting words together and you can tell that he's less frustrated now that he can explain what he wants better. This morning I was doing the dishes and couldn't hear Caeden upstairs and Beckham came to tell me "Mommy, baby crying." He is still so protective of Caeden and pats him when he's crying and constantly wants to kiss him, and will get a bottle and put it in the baby's mouth himself if he thinks I'm not getting to it fast enough.

Our family has been sick a lot this winter and Beckham has had frequent diarrhea. He's learned that it's better to get it off right away, so now after he goes in his diaper he comes up to us and says "bye bye poo poo?" Then when we're done changing him he loves to throw it in the trash can and says with emphasis "Bye bye poo poo!"
