Not so little these days.
The baby of the family turned four today. He promised he would stay three, but the idea of birthday cake and presents was too much to resist, so he went ahead and turned four, but promised me that he will stay here forever.
I’m going to do my best to hold him to that.
We had a family party here today. His only requests were 1) His cousins would be there, and, 2) A carrot cake with a picture of an alligator eating a carrot on top. Oh, and his name. Oh, and fire on it.
I thought it would be fun to have a ‘make your own pizza’ dinner, so that’s what we did.
Beck was so excited for everyone to arrive and I think it made him feel like a superstar that they were all here for him.
At four, Beck is:
Full of personality. He is the only one of my boys that isn’t shy, and his lack of shyness more than compensates for the other two. He will talk to anyone that will listen, and, even some people who don’t.
He is independent, and stubborn. He is sweet and precious one minute, then full of spice and hell-fire the next.
He loves to cuddle in the middle of the day for no particular reason, loves his “soft” and his thumb. He’ll follow his brothers anywhere and fills our home with life and light (and noise).
I took these photos of him earlier in the day, and may I just say, he was utterly uncooperative.
Just before I took this one, he said, “This is too boring. You are taking too many pictures.” That pretty much ended our session. But he still looks cute to me. I love that little face.

I miss that little dude, he is too adorable.
Happy Birthday! The first time I saw a picture of him was at your studio (I think he was trying to grab a goldfish) and I just about died over his yummy rolls. And looking at these pictures, I swear I saw each of your family members in him. I think he looks just like your oldest in that last picture! Sweet family, sorry he decided to go ahead and keep growing
Please tell him that Heidi Redd says Happy Birthday. He is one of my favorites. Such a cute little guy.
Happy Birthday Beck! You are such a handsome boy! Kelly, great pictures! LOVE the last one. I can’t seem to get my kids to stop growing and getting older either. I have tried. It just doesn’t seem to work.
Have I ever told you that you two Kelly’s make the most handsome boys! Love that last one, I’ve seen that look before.
I just can’t believe it! 4 years?! It seems like 4 minutes. Stop it!
love that becker boy!!! I second what granny said
I hate when babies grow up!!
I can still remember sneaky down the hallway and peeking in at him. So soft and fuzzy. He is adorable. You know he gets his charm from his dad and his spicy from you. The cake looks perfect. And what a great idea, personal pizzas for the crew. Smart girl.
