So Much For Safety First...

If we were waiting for a more specific sign to begin baby proofing our home, I don't think it gets more clearer than this!

Confined No More!

Everyone always talks about how when you have a baby, taking a shower and getting ready in the morning becomes a luxury. I was lucky in that since the day we brought Beckett home from the hospital, I have been able to freely take a shower and get ready with absolutely no issues whatsoever! I've never missed a shower due to my little guy! Since day one, Beckett has enjoyed chilling out in his bouncy chair, a baby gift we received from Matt's brother and his wife. Pardis told me that she wanted to get us a gift that she herself a mother, couldn't live without. Of all the gadgets and gear we got, I have to say this chair is the one item he has yet to grow out of and has been used EVERY SINGLE DAY since his birth! He loves this thing! So... much to my dismay the dream has ended. The other morning I came out of the shower and found this:

Lunch with Dad...

Need I say more???

Football Time!!

Matt enjoys leisurely weekends watching football (especially when it's OSU playing) and now he has this little guy to enjoy the games with! Go Beavers!

Beckett reads...

When we were in Hawaii we discovered that Beckett is an avid reader of menus! In this photo he is diligently perusing the menu looking to order either a fine wine or tropical drink at the Luau...

Harvest Time!

This past spring we planted our first garden and here is the large bundle of carrots I just harvested from a long summer's worth of TLC!

As it turns out, this plethora of carrots ended up more like being a feast fit for a mouse! Oh well... perhaps next spring we'll have better luck!

Finger Food Tricks!

Beckett was introduced to his first finger food this past week and here he is exploring the world of banana puffs! He's still a little young for them, but it gives him some fine motor skills practice! It would appear that he's got some banana puff tricks up his sleeve (er... on his chin perhaps?!)

Bob's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch

We took Beckett to Bob's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch to pick out his pumpkin for Halloween! Not only did Beckett get to pick out a pumpkin, but we went through a giant corn maze, went on a hay ride, rode the tractor down to the pumpkin patch, and shopped for produce at the farm store. It was a busy day!

Ummm... way to hide dad!

Going to pick out my punkin!

Rode the tractor down to the pumpkin patch and corn maze....

Matt takes the corn maze VERY seriously!

We've got a map, our starbucks.... Lets get this show on the road!

Are we lost???
