BIG Milestones!

Over the course of two weeks Beckett has started crawling AND pulling himself up!  He started crawling on  Sunday, October 7th and he started pulling himself up TODAY! Although we are very excited that he is able to do both of these things...our life has become much more hectic! Getting ready for work in the morning has turned into a game of baby dodge ball ..we are constantly trying to keep our boy safe while he explores everything! We can't wait to see what our little nugget does next! These times are so full of growth and excitement! 

The first crawl!

Pulling himself up for the first time today!

Sunday Football with Daddy!

Touchdown!

Uncle Bucky playing with Becks and cousins Hadley and Kellan!  Becks is starting to know and love his cousins!  He's a kid's kid for sure!

Fall Fun!

It was a beautiful and colorful day so we thought it was appropriate for a fabulous fall photo shoot!

8 Months!

Beckett is 8 months old...we can't believe it! He continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and he is getting two bottom teeth.  His teething is causing him to want to chew on EVERYTHING...including mom and dad!  However, his teething hasn't seemed to disrupt his eating or sleeping (yet) so we feel very lucky!  Check out some 8 month shots of Beckett in proper "Fall/Football" attire.

First Twins Game!

It was a BIG day for Beckett and Daddy!  Today we took Beckett to his first ever MN Twins game!  We have been waiting for the weather to cooperate and for Beckett's nap schedule to become more consistent so that we could make it to a game and remain relatively happy.  Today was the day and we had an absolute blast..and yes, we documented every minute of it...

In the parking ramp...about to head to the stadium...little guy has no idea how much fun he is about to have!

 About to enter the main gates

Getting our tickets scanned

 As soon as we entered the gates we met Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and his wife Megan.  They loved Beckett (especially his name). Of course Josh and R.T. talked about coaching baseball....great people!

Back to School!

It has been an exciting few weeks.  School has begun for Josh and I and Beckett is now part of a daily daycare routine.  We were fortunate to find two stay-at-home moms who love babies to watch him Monday-Thursday...and Papa Joel is watching him on Fridays!  So far he loves going to daycare and seems just fine spending time with people besides mom and dad :) Check out some of our most recent pics...

College Game Day!

7 Months!

We can't believe that our nugget is 7 months old!!! Where is the time going?  He is not crawling yet (which mom and dad don't mind) but he is trying to figure out how to scoot around on his belly.  He is learning how to wave and knows how to do a great high 5!  Here are some of our favorite 7 month shots...

Representing his Norwegian and Swedish roots!

Loving the Lake

We have been fortunate to be able to spend lots of time at the cabin this summer.  Beckett absolutely loves it.  We end up getting a lot of very happy-faced pictures while in the north woods!  Check out some of our favorites...

Some smiley boy pics...

Nana and Boompa have a very fun (and fancy) bath tub!

6 Months

Beckett is 6 months old! We had his 6 month doctor's appointment and he weighed in at 23 pounds 6 ounces and 31 inches long...the dude is huge!  We love it! :) He continues to be a happy and healthy little guy.  We feel very blessed! Below are some of our favorite 6 month photos...

Loving his overalls

The official 6 month photo shoot.  Beckett was the 6 month old sheriff and Bean was his trusty K-9.  Bean was a trooper and got lots of treats when we were finished! 

 Lasso or leash?

 The winning shot...Bean was thrilled :)

Face off!

Who us?

Get back here Bean!

 Bean officially quits...all tuckered out!

Beckett's first experience with a masher.  He was a little skeptical of his first ice cube. 

He ended up digging the chilly feeling on his gums.

Funny Boy!

I was chewing gum today (and subconsciously blowing bubbles) when I noticed that Beckett was locked on me.  I started blowing the bubbles while facing him and he thought it was the funniest thing EVER!  His laugh is truly priceless...check it out!
