Beckett's Winter OneDerland

 

With a January birthday, it was easy to choose a "Winter Onederland" theme for Beckett's first birthday.

 

He's a fan of cake! ;)

 

 

 

I couldn't have pulled it off without my wonderful SIL!  She's kind of the best! :)

One Year

Beckett, you are one year old!!

 

-You weigh 20 lbs. 6 oz. which puts you in the 16th percentile for weight.

-You can walk!!  You are still wobbly, but you get better and better every day!

-You have 6 teeth. :)

-You still take formula, but we are working on transitioning you to milk.

-You are 29 1/2 inches tall (37th percentile).

-You are becoming an eating machine!

-You babble, but still no words. ;)

-You are exactly zero percent interested in a sippy cup!

-You love your brother and want to do everything he does. :)

-You can scream...I'm talking blood curdling!

-You like to clap and "dance" to music.

-You are sleeping in your own room (with Caysen) and *mostly sleeping through the night.

-You are still a snuggle bug; I really hope this continues! :)

-You are stubborn...like your brother...and your Mama. ;)

-You are pretty easy going, as long as your tummy is full and you don't get left alone.

-You decided you are petrified of the bath!  I'm not sure what happened, but hopefully you'll get over it eventually. ;)

-Mama is number one right now, but Dada's ok too.

-You and Caysen play and giggle and scream together...so cute!!

-We love you so much already and can't wait to see what the next year brings!

Eleven

Beckett, somehow you are already 11 months old!  You've been home with us for about two months now!  In no time, we will be celebrating your first birthday!!

 

Here's what you're up to:

-You love patty-cake, especially clapping your hands.

-You can stand for several seconds and have even taken a few steps (with encouragement)!

- You have uttered "Mama" a few times...still not sure if you know what it means, but I'll take it. :)

-You are slowly, but surely, starting to feed yourself.

-You can go all night without a bottle, but you tend to be an unsettled sleeper and need to be comforted often.

-You like to be held, but you are starting to enjoy playing on the floor in longer stretches.

-You dislike snow very much!

-You are smiley...I can pretty much always get a big grin from you! :)

-You have four teeth...and I'm pretty sure there is going to be a nice big gap between your top two.  It's pretty cute right now!

-You want to do everything your big brother does.  Wherever Caysen goes or whatever he does, you are sure to follow!

-You've been saying "Dada" since we met you in Taiwan; again, not sure you know what it means yet. ;)

-You take two naps a day, sometimes three.

-You love kisses!!

-You have captured my heart; love you precious boy!!!!

 



Merry Christmas

Ten Months

Beckett, you are 10 months old!  You have been home with us for about a month and your little personality is coming out more every day!

You are 19 lbs. 4 oz. which puts you in the 21st percentile for weight.

You crawl and pull up to furniture and occasionally you stand independently. :)

You LOVE being held!  If you had it your way, I would never put you down!

You are a pretty good eater.  You've mostly only tried cereal, baby food, and yogurt, but we've given you a few nibbles of grown-up food here and there and you seem to like it!

You are a snuggle bug!  Love!! :)

You smile with your entire face!  It's pretty adorable!! :D

You mostly sleep through the night, but occasionally wake up and need help finding your paci and blanket.

On a daily basis, people tell me how beautiful you are...I agree. :)

We haven't heard any words yet, but you were primarily exposed to Chinese until about a month ago, so you could be forming complete sentences for all we know. ;)

You have a temper!  You can scream and bang your head like I've never seen!

You love following Caysen around and trying to do whatever he does. :)

You are a little bit shy, but as long as I'm nearby, you are usually ok.

You are in the 50th percentile for height!

You are loved by many!!

We look forward to continued bonding and getting to know you more over the next months and years!
