Day 242 (10/8); Sitting outside in my pretty dress!
Day 243 (10/9); ball pit! (Catch Air playdate!)
Day 244 (10/10); Halloween outfit ready for lunch with friends!
Day 245 (10/11); silly face whilest playing in pack & play with dino! Pack & play enabled me to pack our things for an Auburn weekend!
Another great week with sweet Beckett girl!

Likes:

  • Playing in her pack & play - I was surprised but she seems to enjoy it, for 10 minutes anyway!
  • Ball pits - she loved catch air including the bounce house and the 
  • High chairs - I think she feels like a big girl? I dunno - but she did great in the high chair at Sweet Tomatoes - I was super proud of her.
  • Being outside. She really can't get enough of it - I think she loves the sounds and sun!
Dislikes:
  • Wearing socks. I seriously can't keep them on her. I put them on her and 5 minutes later one is gone and one is in her mouth. Sigh!
  • Car rides. They're getting tough - the longer they are the worse she behaves - eek! She seems to hate being confined now that she's mobile!
Her Week in a Nutshell:
  • Saturday: Visit to see Gigi's new place & Aunt Devon & Cousin Dane; Visit from the Mittelbronns - Melissa, Jon and three-year-old Madison for dinner & football
  • Sunday: Family day at home, grocery store, lots of time with Dad
  • Monday: Infant Room at Gym with Miss Andrea; played outside with exer-saucer and went to swings
  • Tuesday: Infant Room with Miss Jill
  • Wednesday: Playdate at Catch Air; visit to Infant Room with Miss Laura; visit to the Chiropractor with Miss Brittany
  • Thursday: Lunch at Sweet Tomatoes with Ashley, McKenzie, Hanna and Abby - girl lunch! Park with Mom & Dad and visit from Hanna to test out headphones for Auburn!
  • Friday: Packing day! Time to take Beckett to Auburn for her first visit to the Cardens and to her first Veloti tailgate. Left Atlanta around 3.

Bath Time = Toy Time

I am scary behind on updating so for now here is a pic of Beckett from tonight's bath, and a few from earlier today! She loves sitting up and playing with her bath toys now - growing up so fast!

Lowered the Crib

Beckett is on the go, moving from tummy to crawling to sitting and back again! It's very exciting! Today I found her in her crib like this, so Austin promptly lowered it - she is such a big girl - I love it but I can't stand it!

Sliding

This little ham loves to "slide"! Austin holds her and she "slides" down, smiling all the way - so sweet! Love our evening family walks, the poodles seem to love them most!

Beckett Goes to Auburn

So many more pics to come but here is one for now! Beckett did SO great this weekend. I was nervous about all of the new things - her sleeping in the same room as us, her taking naps outdoors/in public places, her going to the game and dealing with crowds, her in the stands and in my carrier - you name it - lots of new! But it all went very well! More details and pics later!

Evening Swing

Each weeknight around 5:45 we head out for a short neighborhood walk with the poodles, then across the street to swing. She loves it!!

Week 34: 7 Days of Beckett

Day 232 (9/28); Beckett and her bestie Sophie
Day 233 (9/29); Seriously, we are hard-pressed to get a picture of her without this little giraffe! Someone is cutting more teeth for SURE

Day 236 (10/2); Bedtime bottle with Mimi
Day 237 (10/3); Planting flowers with Mimi on the front porch (no, she's not wearing a top - she had JUST spit up on it and it was hot and bath was in 15 minutes so she was outside shirtless haha)
Day 238 (10/4); Pretty brown-eyed girl smiling in anticipation of her bath!
Likes:
  • Water - we add it to her sippy cups and she seems to really like washing her food down
  • Her sippy cup - she is really drinking out of it a lot more
  • Her high chair - she has been playing in it a lot more and seems to enjoy being at our level and spending time in it when we're at the table
  • Sitting up during bath time and playing with her water toys (mostly still prefers "drinking water" out of her wash cloths)
  • Favorite toy has definitely been her orange ode ball and these flat mirrors from her activity mats (loves to look at herself!)
  • Clapping (she can't do it but loves when we do)
  • Same as last week (family walks, swinging, etc.)
Dislikes:
  • Her 5 o'clock nap - we no longer do it! Down to just two a day.
  • Cauliflower - didn't seem to be a fan unless it was very, very buried in her favorite mixes
