Month 9 - Swim Lessons

Mommy and Daddy took me to swim lessons this month. I only made it to 3 of them and then I got a terrible ear infection and the Dr wouldn't let me go back. That water was COLD! My buddy Caleb got to come with me. It was fun. We would go swim, then we would go to breakfast. I hope we get to do it again some day!

Month 8 - Frosty the Snowman

This is the outfit Auntie Mandy got me. Aren't I adorable??

Month 7 - My 1st Visit to Santa

I had my first trip to see Santa. Of course, Momma made me take all of these pictures in different outfits prior to us leaving. We met Santa at Wanakah. They had a lot of fun activities there. They had people spraying tattoos on us, clowns making balloon animals, singers and dancers, it was soooo much fun! Next year when I can walk, Momma said I could go play with the big kids! We stood in line for a long time to see this Santa guy. He was pretty nice. He told me that I could ask for anything and I could get it because he KNEW I had been a good little boy!

Month 7 - Thanksgiving in Hilton Head 2008

This was a LONG week. We started driving down to Washington DC for Mom to do some kind of business dinner. So Dad and I went out and hung out together in DC. It was COLD, so we didn't get a chance to really get to go look around. They promised to bring me back when it was warmer and we would be able to see everything.

We then drove down to Hilton Head. These might have been the longest 2 days of my life - I was stuck in the car seat...ICK! We finally made it down to see Grandy Becker and I got to crawl around and explore the space!

I got very mobile in Hilton Head. I learned that I could crawl from room to room to find people. I could crawl under the table. I could pull things off of shelves. I could pull myself up and play in the dishwasher. I had a very good time. I even got to take a bubble bath with Momma in the Jacuzzi tub. It had lots of bubbles! I like bubbles.

We took walks and I watched my parents and grandparents play Wii. I can't wait to be able to play this - it looks like fun! I also got to go on my first boat ride. It was a little cold, but Momma and Daddy kept me close. I even kept my hat on to keep my head warm. I rarely do this! We went to go watch the Bills game at the local Buffalo hang out. I met a really pretty waitress that liked to hold me. This picking up on girls things are easy!

We had a lot of fun, them my Momma and Daddy and Grandpa put me back in the car and we drove home. It was a long day and I didn't like it very much. I did meet some cute waitresses though in West Virginia. We got home really late and we drove thru a really bad snow storm. I was so happy to get to my own bed!

Month 6 - My 1st Halloween Weekend

I had my first Halloween Weekend! Momma said that we don't just celebrate one day - we like to make a holiday last a few days! I'm OK with that! The Halloween Weekend started on Thursday with Momma taking me to her work (Synacor) for trick or treating. It was so much fun! I got to see all my girlfriends and everyone wanted to hold me, play with me and see my new tricks! When I got there I had my cool skull and crossbones shirt like Momma and Big Sis Bars! I like it when we all match! I got to see Ms Kathleen and she told me that I have a new friend coming into the world when I turn 1. I can't wait! Next year I will have a buddy for Halloween Trick or Treating at Synacor! I will be able to show he or she the ropes! Ms Sunny couldn't bring her little boy, so she took a lot of pictures of me on her iPhone. I am soooo handsome...she says! Ms Ginny told me that her little neice is looking for a boyfriend and I am just the right boy for her! Ms Ginny gave the approval! Ms Julia held me too. She has big kids. Her little girl is beautiful!

Daddy and Momma put me in my costume - I was a golfer. They kept calling me Bagger Vance, I think that is a movie we just saw! They took me around to all of the cubes so I could see everyone. Momma always said "Trick or Treat" for me and Daddy ate all the candy. They let me taste a sucker and it was GOOD! But they said I couldn't have anything else. Daddy said he would eat all the bad stuff for me this year. Strange thing was, Daddy said he wasn't feeling so well after we got home that night! I felt fine - the best thing I had was my golf club!

I got to bring my costume to day care the next day. We all dressed up and the big kids got to parade around. I will be there next year leading the group! After school Daddy picked me up and brought me home. Momma wanted to put me in my costume and we realized Daddy left it at day care! You can imagine how that went over! So Daddy got on the phone to start making calls and Momma let me sit by the candy basket and play. She had some really cool balloons that I got to play with. All of the neighbors kept stopping by and I would give them candy. Grandpa and Grandy Becker came over with Daisy. They ate a lot of candy too. Momma said that that is what "Beckers" do. I guess I will be like that! When Daddy finally got back, I got to put on my costume and walk around to the neighbors. It was a lot of fun. I got to play with Peyton at her house for a little while, then we ran into Kaitlyn on the way out. They are both so pretty, I can't possibly choose who should be my girlfriend first. Of course, Peyton was the first girl to kiss me! So after all of the candy, I played with Grandpa and Grandy for a while, then I crashed. I was so tired and it was a very busy day!

On Saturday we went over to Spencers house. Spencer, Caleb and I all played together. Spencer has a lot of cool toys. We all got to show off our costumes again. Spencer is crawling and pulling himself up. Caleb is younger, so he can sit up, but hasn't learned to crawl. We didn't get into too much trouble together. I was getting my second tooth in so Mr and Mrs Puleo gave me some teething tablets. I made a face at first, but it helped soothe my gums and I felt much better after.

So that was my first halloween. It was an action packed weekend!

My 1st Halloween - Photos

Guess what Momma found in Sams - a new tooth!

Momma and I had just gotten back from our visit to Oregon and Daddy made us go out to shop at Sams. Momma put her finger in my mouth and found my first tooth! WOW! She says I am not a baby anymore - I am becoming a little boy! I didn't eat very much over the weekend, so it made sense to Momma after she found the tooth! Now I can really bite on things!
