10 Months & Thanksgiving

Our little nugget is 10 months old!  He continues to grow...and grow...and grow! Beckett has some top teeth coming in which are joining the two bottom teeth he already has.  He is just starting to walk with a walker toy, and he is really into table food, especially bread and cheese.  As always he continues to be a little joy in our lives! Check out our 10 month photo shoots below as well as some "kid shots" from Thanksgiving!

Happy little dude in overalls!

9 Months & Halloween!

What a busy October!  Beckett turned 9 months old on the 16th and we celebrated his first ever Halloween!  He debuted as a monkey, and he didn't seem to mind his costume at all.  He also loved carving his first pumpkin and trick-or-treating, even thought we only hit up about 6 houses.  Overall it was a successful first Halloween!  Check out some of our favorite photos...

Monkey Suit!

 What's this behind me?

 No really, there is something back there!

 Oh, It's my tail!

 Silly Monkey!

 About to carve my first pumpkin...I'm more interested in my puffs!

 Dad, what is all that stringy stuff?

Mom, you are quite the carver!

 My pumpkin has 2 bottom teeth, just like me!

Oooooh so pretty!

 I love my pumpkin!

My first ever trick-or-treating house stop...Uncle Rob's!

 Trick-or-treat Uncle Rob and Ginger!

 Next stop, my favorite babysitter...Mara!

Then we went across the street to my Monday daycare house...Trick-or-treat Macy!

Last but not least...trick-or-treat Nana!

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!

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!

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...

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...
