11 Months & Christmas!

Beckett is 11 months old!  He is standing and taking a few steps, but is not quite ready to walk.  He crawls at unbelievable speeds, so he isn't missing much by not walking! He is saying a few words including Dada, Mama, Uh-Oh (in context...which is really cute), Lola (we tried to get him to say Bean, but no luck yet!), Titi, Nana, and he has on occasion echoed his own name.  We can't believe how much he changes seemingly over night!  Every day is a new adventure! December has also been exciting because we celebrated Beckett's first Christmas.  He loved all of the wonderful gits he received, and has been independently entertained for the last week!  We have had to put away some toys due to overabundance and lack of space!  We are so blessed to have such generous aunts, uncles, and grandparents; however, the best part of this Christmas season has truly been all of the time spent with our amazing families.

We went to Macy's downtown to see the "Day in the Life of an Elf" exhibit with cousins Hadley and Kellan.  They were all very distracted by all of the fun stuff to see...this is the best group picture I took...

Beckett LOVED all the elf scenes.  He pointed and "ooohed" at everything


Beckett's first ever Santa visit.  He was unimpressed...

He gave Santa a friendly wave good-bye as a peace offering...


Christmas Eve at Nana and Boompa's house!  Here is Beckett's newest cousin Henrik.  He is too cute for words!

Snow!

It was an exciting weekend...Beckett's first ever big snowfall!  We took him out for a short but memorable sled ride.  Check out the pictures and video of the event as well as some other fun shots...

 Happy boy in the snow

Nana and Boompa's Christmas Card! This was also the day that Beckett got to meet his new cousin Henrik for the first time!  Henrik is the most adorable little peanut ever and we are all in love with the little guy!
