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...
