blah about blogging

I can not figure out why I am so against blogging right now. But I dread getting on here to post. I am sorry and really am going to try hard to post more often. Just so you know, I really respond well to comments, so if you check our blog regularly and often find yourself disappointed, comment. Usually when I see about 10 comments, I vamp up for another post. Maybe that's being a bit too honest, but it's true. (Having said that...I hope this doesn't drive any of you away from our blog)

ANYWAY...our lives have been very exciting recently. Beckett celebrated his first birthday almost a month ago (see pictures below), last weekend we were in San Diego with some friends, and life is just great.
Beckett has been acting a little bit crazy/weird lately, I think it's a combo of just having his MMR shot and also I think he's teething. The past few weeks have made me really grateful for his sweet demeanor and fun personality. I admire any of you who have had tough babies.
Okay so on to pictures of the birthday party.
Once all of the birthday guests arrived, we ate yummy waffles and breakfast foods. Here's a picture of some of the yummy food we had.

Then we opened presents, and this is one of Beckett's favorite books. (He LOVES books)After we finished opening his gifts everyone clapped, and he got all excited and responded with clapping, which brought about another chorus of claps, and this went back and forth several times. (long enough for me to take about 20 pictures of him clapping...here's just one).Then we had cake. It was a funfetti cake which wasn't as fun to see him smear all over himself. We're going to do chocolate next year.

Beckett has so many buddies here in LA. Here are a few of them.

Here, he and Beckham are racing to the top of the stairs. I LOVE to watch them interact together, they're such great friends.And lastly here is a picture of the sweet wheels Beckett received from none other than the Hunka D and Auntie P. A special thanks to AP and Jules for their efforts assembling it.
