Sweet Girl at the Lake

Playing catch up this week hoping to get up to date by the weekend's end! In the meantime, here is a sweet picture of Beckett taken over Memorial Day weekend at the lake. It had been a long day and her hair is kinda crunchy due to it being covered in suncreen and then on a boat ride, but hey, lake hair is what it is!

She is 15 months old and is just SO fun. She amazes us every day with the words she's saying and the connections she's making. She definitely follows instructions and knows what you're saying - I don't know when it happened, but it's very cool to be able to communicate with her! More pics and updates later - all is good here!

Our Little Mermaid

So I grew up loving this movie and Austin got me a soft copy since we no longer have a VCR. This past month we had three back to back road trips, so we decided it was time to test out a movie for Beckett. My friend Chanel recommended this iPad holder that goes on a car headrest and Austin loaded on several movies including The Little Mermaid. So far, it's the only one of four movies she had taken to. She seems to love it, the songs especially! We're going to get her Beauty and the Beast and some of my other favorites soon! In the meantime, the Disney store had mermaid PJs for almost $30 - crazy! My favorite consignment store was having a 40% sale and I got these for $2! She LOVES them! We held up the shirt and she grabbed it and hugged it! Lol They are still a little big (being that is is still in 6-12m clothes!) but so cute anyway and they make her so happy!
