Week 46: 7 Days of Beckett

Day 316 (12/21); Beckett loves her cabinet in the kitchen, especially in the morning when I'm making our breakfast (her: eggs, black beans, avocado & chicken; me: eggs, sausage, mushrooms)

Day 317 (12/22): We got a visit from Mike and Ann who brought Beckett these adorable PJs as well as a book and a cute piece of ride-on luggage! I was under the weather and didn't get pictures, but we sure enjoyed seeing them, as well as the Porters who came up to see them, too!

Day 318 (12/23); smiley girl over breakfast trying to get the iPhone from me! 

Day 319 (12/24); Beckett's first Christmas Eve - we have family day that morning, then at 2:30 Austin's parents and brothers arrived, and we headed over to Jane and Charles' at 3 p.m. - great to see all of the Martins for a few hours before we headed back and did the Martin Family Christmas at our house

Day 320 (12/25); Beckett on Christmas Day with the wonderful gifts she received throughout the holidays, including from her friends Hanna/Abby, her puppers, her parents, Mike & Ann and the Martins. Porter & Gigi Christmas took place later that day when they arrived around 11 a.m. and stayed until dinner - great day!

Day 321 (12/26); Beckett eating one of her new favorite foods/mixes: quinoa & garbanzo beans!

Day 322 (12/27); Beckett got her mobile down - time to take it away (she was very proud of herself - I went in and found her passed out next to it - hilarious).

Another great week with Beckett. So fun to have everyone around to see her new skills, hear her "talk", see her gobble up so many foods, etc. She is getting so big!

Likes:

• Eating - you can't stop this girl from gobbling up all of her finger foods!
• Getting into everything - she was ALL over the place at Jane and Charles - lunging at their Christmas Tree, eating Christmas cards from the mantle - you name it - she was everywhere!
• Squirming - she will try her hardest to get out of your arms and onto the floor to crawl so fast she huffs and puffs
• Christmas wrapping - all of it, ribbons, paper, bags - she loves it!
• quinoa & chickpeas
• Her new toys, especially her stroller & doll as well as the Fisher Price puzzle
• Being the center of attention - she really lit up opening presents and having everyone watch her!

Dislikes:

• bubble wrap (seems to scare her)
• loud noises (e.g., the mixer)
• the usuals: car seats, diaper changes, etc.
• having the remote control, laptop, iPad, iPhone, etc. taken from her
