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!
