Week 47: 7 Days of Beckett

Day 323 (12/28); Just handing at the brewery in downtown Breckenridge! Beckett did great on her first day of travel from Atlanta to Denver! 

Day 324 (12/29); Post-bath in the big tub! She was quite the trooper during the trip and even had her own room - the laundry room! (sounds bad but it was huge and ventilated and perfect for her pack 'n play!)

Day 325 (12/30); Family shot from Mimi - Beckett was playing on her iPad - she still loves the stars game! I thought she would enjoy iPad a lot on this trip but she still prefers things like water bottles, socks, etc.

Day 326 (12/31); Beckett loved playing with ski gear - especially helmets, goggles, gloves, socks, etc. She LOVES her Uncle E as he leaves his things out - many, many times we found her playing with this tshirts, phone, peaks pass, etc.!

Day 327 (1/1); first day of the year! Me and Mimi attempted to take Beckett on a stroller ride in the snow. It lasted all of 4 minutes and took place in the driveway and about 30 feet in front of the condo... SO cold; this picture was actually taken on the balcony (yes, we strolled her stroller out the sliding door next to the hot tub and attempted to get a smile shot of Beckett outside - it was snowing!)

Day 328 (1/2); Beckett and her Mimi got a visit from Aunt Missy, Uncle George and their puppers, Coco and Abby!

Day 329 (1/3); Beckett went back to downtown Breck for the second time during the trip. It was bitter cold with icy wind and it was all we could do to stop on a corner and get pictures! Once this pic was taken, we got her and her friend Peyton onesies at a downtown t-shirt shop then headed home to pack for our voyage back to Atlanta!

Likes:

• spending the week with her Mimi - Michelle spent all day, every day with her and said Beckett did so good eating her bottles and solids and just playing! Every time we got home from skiing the two of them were at the high chair having dinner - so sweet! We can't thank her enough for giving us the opportunity to ski 5 whole days sans Beckett!
• meeting her Aunt Missy and Uncle George, and seeing their puppies - she loves dogs! I think she missed Reuben and Remy as much as us. :(
• playing with ski gear
• her new B. toys keys
• banging together anything, especially 2 mini dasani bottles in-flight
• eating paper (oy)
• watching the hot tub guy service the hot tub
• snow (so long as it doesn't hit her in the face)
• the wheels on the bus mother goose video (thanks, YouTube - you saved us from a screaming car ride on 1/3)
• the toys from Breck Tots (where we rented from) - she especially liked the paper books (which she tried to eat), a pop-up Fisher Price toy, a car with teething keys, etc.
• the fireplace - we covered it in blankets and pillows but she loved pulling up on it and cruising to the coffee table then to the couch to get iPhones (she couldn't get over that instead of the usual 3 iPhones in our house there were 8 AND Uncle Ty's blackberry which she ate... a lot)
• changing the channel on the remote (it was a sensitive remote and she turned it off many a football game)
• the airport/plane/etc. - she loved the people watching! On the way back she had her own chair and loved "standing" by the window seeing outside and bouncing up and down on our laps "talking" and greeting every. single. person. who boarded the plane.
• her amoxicillin - Beckett seriously had no issue at all taken this yummy sweet medicine!
• her plates - every morning we would make her an egg that she would have with black beans, avocado, and bananas; then we would leave lunch plates (turkey, cheese, green beans & apples) and dinner plates (chicken, sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans & apples) - she gobbled everything up!
• taking her socks off and playing with them (i.e., eating them)
• standing - she stood a lot each day for several seconds at a time -not sure if she realized she was doing it but she was!
• closing pop up toys - she can't get enough and smiles big when it clicks shut

Dislikes:

• Sleeping on planes (took her about 10 minutes of crying it out before she would fall asleep in our arms - me on the way there and Austin on the way back)
• Not being able to crawl around on planes
• Being force to sleep in the car while everyone else is having fun/talking
• Not being allowed to roam free at the condo - we had an area created by two couches, a coffee table, a fireplace, her activity table and a big basket - it worked brilliantly but she got onto us pretty quick and realized her freedom wasn't so free!
• Bananas - for some reason she hated the bananas in Colorado - she has eaten them since being home but wouldn't eat them there

Her Week in a Nutshell:

• Saturday: Big day of travel from 7 a.m. when she woke up for her 9:30 a.m. flight to the first time on marta, to her first flight, arriving in Breck for lunch/dinner at the Breckenridge Brewery, then an evening with Dad & Uncle Elliot while her Mom, Mimi, Poppa and Uncle Tyler went to the grocery store
• Sunday: First day of fun with Mimi while the rest of the family skied!
• Monday: Second day of fun with Mimi; family stayed in all evening while Chef Cordell came (he seemed to like Beckett - he has a baby son!)
• Tuesday: Third day of fun with Mimi; New Year's Eve (no one made it to midnight mountain time!)
• Wednesday: New Year's Day photo shoot with Mimi & Mom; day of lounging around and playing with Mom, Mimi and her uncles; night with Dad while Mom went out to the pizzeria with the family
• Thursday: Fourth day of fun with Mimi; visit from Aunt Missy & Uncle George
• Friday: Fifth day of fun with Mimi; visit to downtown Breckenridge for a family picture and a onesie!
• Saturday: Second day of travel from 9:45 a.m. when we woke her up, to the drive to Denver, lunch in Downtown Denver, to being at the airport an extra 3 hours (big 1-hour walk with Dad all over airport), to her second flight - the one home!
