First Batting Practice & First Haircut!

It has been an exciting week for Beckett. This past weekend he got an early Easter present...his first t-ball set! I bet you can guess who picked it out :). Daddy was very excited to have Beckett's first "batting practice." It is definitely his new favorite toy. As an added bonus...he can now say ball, bat, and tee! Another exciting event happened yesterday; Beckett's first haircut! He was especially lucky because his Titi Jin cut his hair. You'll see from the pictures below that Beckett was less than thrilled; however, Titi Jin showed her pro skills by getting the cut done lightning fast...and it looks amazing! He looks so grown up with his little boy coif! Thanks Titi Jin!

Looking real woolly pre-cut...

This isn't so bad...

OK, this isn't so bad...I can do this!

The results are in...amazing!

One Year and a Month

Our little man is a mover and a talker! He is picking up something new every day! Although they are a lot of work, one year olds are SO MUCH FUN! Check out some recent pics and a video below of our boy learning new things and looking so grown up!

Beckett's First Birthday!

Where has the last year gone? Everyone told us that the first year would go fast, but we can't believe that Beckett is one year old! This last year has truly been the best year of our lives! We can't wait for many more amazing times with our precious little boy! Enjoy some pics below of the birthday festivities!

On Beckett's actual birthday (January 16th) we felt that we had to do something special, so we took him to a frozen yogurt bar. He LOVED it and I'm sure there will be many more trips to Freeziac in the future.

What's that?! I want it!

The first bite...

A happy customer!

The 1st Birthday Party

We had a cookie monster themed brunch for Beckett's party. We felt so blessed that so many family and friends could come to celebrate Beckett's special day!

The decorations and food...

The guest of honor!

Here are some of the photos of Beckett opening some of his gifts. Luckily he had some help from mom and his cousins Hadley and Kellan. He received way too many gifts...such a spoiled little nugget!

All the kids were WAY into this gift...a toddler trampoline from Nana and Boompa. They couldn't even wait for it to be assembled before jumping on it!

Beck's was and remains completely obsessed with his trampoline!

The only family picture we got...too much fun was being had to stop and pose :)

The big moment...cupcake time!

Before...

After...

Happy Birthday Becks! We love you to pieces!

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.

The winning 11-Month Shot

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...
