Beckett's First Christmas

Beckett has officially experienced his first Christmas, and I must say he had a fabulous time. Beckett got TOTALLY spoiled-and we haven't even gone to Orangeville to visit the Sharp side yet!! On Christmas Eve we went to my parent's house for dinner with the Stapley side. We woke up BRIGHT and early Christmas morning (thanks to B). Beckett helped open all of his presents, which he has been playing with like crazy. Josh made a beautiful, big toy box for Beckett....which has been great with all of the new toys he got. After our Christmas morning at home we went to church and then did Christmas at my parents. Christmas evening we went to my grandma's house for her big Christmas dinner, so delicious. Overall it was a fabulous, awesome, fun, Chrismas....filled with lots of family, food, and presents :)

It's Christmas Time in the City

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year....and I don't hide it! We have had a lot of fun so far, and there is more to come. We have been to see the lights at Temple Square with the Sharpies, B met Santa for the first time, aaaand B turned 7 months old!

Beckett's 6 Month Pictures

Baby B is ACTUALLY 7 months old today. However, we got his 6 month old pictures back this past week so i'm posting them. I must say-they are adorable, I have the most handsome baby boy ever. Pictures are by LouLou Photography.

P.S. Happy Holidays everyone! It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Family Time

Here are a couple pictures of our life lately. Family get togethers, haircuts, and playin in laundry baskets :)

Thanksgiving 2011

This year we spent our Thanksgiving in Orangeville. It was Beckett's 1st Thanksgiving! We gave B a little taste of mashed potatoes, oh was that a bad idea. He had the most awful look on his little face when he tasted them and then gagged to the point where I thought he was going to throw up. Poor guy, but he got over it quick. We also ran the Huntington Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning, our 2nd time. It was cold-but a good way to start the day! Our Thanksgiving dinner was delicious....of course! Now we are ready to enjoy the rest of this break and do some SERIOUS relaxing :)

The Stats

Beckett is a healthy boy:)

Height: 27 1/2" (90%)
Weight: 18 lbs (55%)

6 Months

Baby B is officially 6 months old....halfway to a year. He is the absolute best boy we could have ever asked for. He is sturdy and 100% boy. He smiles & laughs anytime he gets to be rolled around or thrown in the air. He is getting better at sitting up, can move better on his tummy (not quite crawling yet), and got his 2 bottoms teeth! He has his 6 month old dr's appt tomorrow so we'll see what his stats are-but I know that he is still growing like a weed.....we can barely keep up!

Christmas Crafts

I have completed my christmas crafts for this year. So fun, I love doing this kind of stuff-i'm a girl :)

Again, I got the wood cut-outs from The Wood Connection. I painted & glued paper onto the Christmas trees, finishing with ribbon. I painted the nativity set black, sand papered the edges & added some straw.

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year! It's fun to do these types of things so that I get to enjoy it before December rolls around.

Happy Hallow's Eve

Halloween has a whole new meaning this days, and so much more fun with a baby. Beckett was a dragon. I must say, the cutest dragon i've ever seen. I was a princess-I think i'll always dress up, its much more fun that way :)

Gardner Village Fun

Thumbs up for fall break! I have been enjoying my 4 day weekend...EVEN though I got strep throat :(

My mom, sis, B, & I went to Gardner Village to have a fabo lunch & check out the Halloween fun & shops. Josh got to join us as well....

I must brag.....Beckett Boy is the most adorable baby ever :)
