Around the House

The last few days we have been feeling a little sick, so we have hung around the house. Beckett is an excellent helper with cleaning. He has enjoyed reading the paper. Actually ripping it to shreds!
Also Daddy has been teaching him to floss. Dad's dentist told him to start flossing Beckett's teeth. We weren't sure if he would like it....

but he actually loved it!

Lovin' the Park

Beckett is loving the park these days! There is so much to explore. He is still trying to figure out the slide and which way to go.
Daddy took him on the big slide!

Almost a smile...

Finally, there is the smile we were waiting for!

Oh No!

I have been letting Beckett play back in his room the past couple of weeks, while I am in the front of the house. This has worked well, since I close up at the doors in the hallway, except his bedroom door of course!! :) Well today I was busy cleaning and heard a door open in the back. I went running down the hallway and found him in the bathroom. I thought I must have not closed the door tightly. So I put him back in his room, closed the bathroom door securely, and went around the corner to see what he would do. Here he is in action...

Family Fun Outing- January

This year one of Grant's goals is to plan a family outing once a month. Our January outing was to Ocean World, in Crescent City. Beckett was not ready to hit the big waves this morning!
We were greeted by a creepy pirate, who terrified Beckett!

During the tour we saw lots of sharks, fish, and other sea creatures.

Beckett and the rock fish were fascinated with each other.

Then we got to play in the tide pools and touch starfish,

sea anemones, and

even pet a shark. We didn't let Beckett pet the shark, fearing he might grab a hold of it.

Of course had to stop during the tour for a photo op!

At the end of the tour, there was a show with the seals and sea lions. Beckett laughed and grunted, as they performed their tricks.

Great outing, Dad!

Morning at the Park

This morning was a beautiful day, so Beckett and I headed to the park. He loved standing at the slide and watching all the kids go down it. Eventually he tired of standing there watching all the other kids play, so he tried climbing up the slide. The swings were his favorite. Of course I didn't get any pictures of him smiling! :)

Into Everything

These days Beckett is getting into everything! Tonight he literally got INTO the dishwasher. I guess he wanted to help his mom with the dinner dishes!

20 More Days Until the Big One!

We are busy counting down the days until Beckett turns one. His party is going to be a Dr. Seuss theme. Tonight I was busy making the hats for the party, with a little help from some family. They were harder than I thought to make. But they sure look cute on the guys!

Look at those Guns!

Tonight Beckett was having fun looking at himself in the mirror. He was showing off his "big guns!"

Favorite Time of Day

Bath time is Beckett's favorite time of day! It is his special time with his dad.

Here Beckett is trying to catch the water with his hands.
He loves his new bath toys he got for Christmas. Thanks Uncle Neal and Aunt Tera.
What a great way to end the day. :)
