HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Trick-or-Treating at Dad's Work

Today Beckett went treat-or-treating at Dad's work. For Beckett's first Halloween he was a cute, cuddly puppy. There were lots of kids at the office to look at and play with.
Beckett took the light saver away from Yoda and did NOT want to give it back!

Nap Time

Here is a cute picture Beckett's grandma took this morning, when she was babysitting him. His face looks so much older in this photo!

Beckett Blowing Bubbles at Bathtime

Tonight Grant filled the tub a little higher and Beckett quickly realized he could reach the water with his mouth. Beckett continued his campaign for swim lessons, by showing us that he wants more exposure to the water!

Carving Pumpkins

This afternoon the family gathered to carve pumpkins. Beckett was a little unsure about feeling the inside of the pumpkin.
Auntie Tera and Uncle Neal working on their pumpkins.

Grandpa Dana working on his pumpkin. He doesn't mess around!

Even though Beckett did not carve a pumpkin, he liked playing with the tools.

Beckett loves his Auntie!

The Lunde's and their pumpkins

All the pumpkins together.

Ta-da! We finished!!

Party Time

Tonight Beckett went to his first kid's birthday party. I love this picture from the party! It does not look like Beckett was having a good time, but he really was! He ate some of the wrapping paper, played with friends, and loved his balloon. A busy night for a little boy!

All This Pressure to Crawl

Beckett is definitely feeling the pressure to crawl. His pals are busy crawling and he wants to join in the fun. Crawling is exhausting! Aunt Tera is working hard with Beckett to help him. She has spent lots of time with him on the floor.

Good Friends, Good Times

Our friends, Doug, Tamra, Stephanie, and Everett, came to Brookings to visit. Our two families got together for dinner and lots of baby talk! Beckett meeting Everett for the first time. Friends at first sight!
Beckett invited his pal over the next day to play. He even shared his toys. :)

Beckett Typing

Each week Beckett and his GG write emails back and forth. He loves to type (or actually pound) on the keyboard. He has already pulled a couple of keys off the keyboard, while typing. Good thing they pop right back on! :)

New Favorite Thing

Beckett's new favorite thing is his teething biscuits. They are really messy, but he sure enjoys them!If you look close, you can see his little tooth peeking out!

Saturday Morning

Here are some cute pictures of Beckett in his pajamas on Saturday morning.

He found his tongue. It has been hanging out of his mouth a lot lately!Still not crawling, but he is getting stronger and stronger each day. :)

All By Ourselves

This evening Beckett and I were all by ourselves, since his dad was away on business. We had Grandma come over to entertain us for the evening and she took lots of pictures!Beckett is too little to carve pumpkins, but we still needed to do something with his pumpkin. We decided to decorate it with stickers.
Beckett loved his pumpkin and was the most interested in pulling off the stickers.

It was a beautiful evening and we decided to go for a walk. The picture shows Beckett smiling, but he really wanted his dad and the backpack! :)

New Things

Beckett's first tooth has officially come out. Just the top of the tooth is showing. I have tried and tried to get a picture of it, but he will not let me. So in this picture he is giving me the look, 'Enough pictures already!"Beckett is not crawling yet, but this is his favorite position. He is rocking back and forth a lot, but is just not quite there! That's okay, we have not baby proofed the house yet!

In the Back

Last night was the first time we tried using the backpack with Beckett. He loved it!
We walked around the block and he was busy taking in the world around him. It is a much different view from his dad's back, compared to his normal view in the stroller.

Pumpkin Patch

This morning Beckett and I went to the pumpkin patch to find his FIRST pumpkin. Beckett and Jameson looking for just the right pumpkin.

(The boys are only a few weeks apart in age.)Beckett and I in the pumpkin patch.
We finally found the perfect pumpkin. Here is a cute picture of Beckett in the back of the car with his little pumpkin!

Lazy Weekend

This weekend the weather was dreary, so we were lazy and just hung around the house. Here we are in our Beaver gear, ready to watch the game on Saturday. Beckett spent time riding around on his toy car. He looks so big in this picture!
Beckett has a great dad who loves to play with him. :) This was our entertainment this weekend!

New Toy

Today Beckett went over to his grandma's house to play in his new toy. He was very excited!!The turtle is filled with plastic balls, which Beckett loved chewing on. Beckett wanted to share his balls with Teri (his grandma's dog), but she was not too interested.

A side note: Look at all that hair on the back of his head! He is still missing hair on the sides of his head, but the back is full of it.

Happy 8 Month Birthday, Baby Beckett!

Yesterday was Beckett's 8 month birthday. We are amazed each day at how much he has grown and changed. This picture of Beckett in his crib cracks me up! He looks a little startled. :) Beckett has not been sleeping well the last couple of days. He has a tooth that looks like it is about ready to come out and it seems to be keeping him up.

Another hilarious face! I had to get the shot of the Cheerios all over him. Books are still one of Beckett's favorite things. He loves to be read to, especially by his dad. We have been going to story time each week at the library and he likes that too!

Auntie Tera and Uncle Neal

This weekend Grant and I had tickets to go see the OSU Beavers play in Corvallis. Beckett's Aunt Tera and Uncle Neal watched Beckett, while we went to the game. Beckett wore his OSU gear and cheered the Beavers on from Gladstone.Beckett's favorite part of being there was Geisha (their Chocolate Lab). Geisha liked him too, especially when he shared his Cheerios with her.
Here they are playing together...
