This boy turned 8 today! It's great to be 8! Beck always seems to have his birthday right in the middle of something going on. This year his day was smack in the middle of our family reunion. Good news? He gets all his cousins to celebrate his birthday with him!
My favorite things about 8 year old Beck:
1) Beck has a brain in that head of his! He is smart and does really well in school, but is also very logical and thoughtful about all he does. He can figure things out in an instant and sorts through riddles and puzzles and story problems easily. Twists in movies are easy for him to see coming. Multiplication and division? A cinch. He is just brainy and I love it so much!
2) Beck is quiet and keeps to himself a lot of the time, but always has time to hang with his mom. He gives me a hug every day after school and will kiss me square on the lips still. He is sweet and kind when he wants to be and I try to remind him that his mom always wants him to stay that way.
3) Beck is competitive! It's almost a given, with 3 brothers. But he wants to win and HATES when he doesn't. Card games, video games, bike riding, coloring contests...no matter what it is, he wants to be the best. I'm really trying to teach him to not be quite so intense sometimes, but that competitive spirit is built inside him. I kind of love it :)
8 year old stats from Dr. Erickson:
Height: 4'8" - 98%

Happiest birthday to my sweet Mr. Beck!
