Another fall inspired photo shoot.

Since I still have this fancy camera of Kelly's, I can't seem to stop the photo shoots with Beckett. He's just the perfect subject, and it's such a beautiful time of year. We went down to visit Grandma Judy and bring her her Halloween present from Beckett (early so she could display it all month) and to take some more pictures with all the fall decorations. So here are more pictures! If you're sick of them, I don't care, I think I'm addicted to this camera.

Sorry for the picture overload, but I can't quit. Once Beckett stops being so cute, and this camera stops being so awesome, then I'll think about quitting. Until then, just bear with me.

Wedding

David's cousin got married this past Sunday, and it was beautiful! It was in an amazing outdoor setting, which we took advantage of to get some good pictures.

Beck was quite the little stud in his dress outfit.

Playing in the fountain after the ceremony.

Squishy cheeks are the best.

Still ready to play after we got home, even though it was waaaay after his bedtime!

Big Ten Debut

Since today is Nebraska's first Big Ten game, we thought a photo shoot was in order. It didn't hurt that my friend Kelly let me borrow her fancy camera for the weekend. It's going to be a photo shoot filled couple of days!

It's October!

That means pumpkins, and babies in pumpkins! I saw a picture on Pinterest that I was dying to re-create. It took Beckett a minute to get over the shock of being in a pumpkin, but once that wore off, he was fine and a little curious as to what was going on.

More family photo shoot

Here are some more pictures from our family photo shoot that we did about 6 weeks ago. Pictures taken by the wonderful and talented Tammy Muecke.

Happy 8 Months, Beckett!

Wasn't it just yesterday I was posting about Beckett turning 7 months old? It sure seems like it. I can not believe that our tiny little baby is now 8 months old. He is getting more and more personality every day. Here's what's going on this month:

• He's still not officially crawling, but that doesn't stop him. He does a scooting move that I like to call "the worm". He gets to where he wants to go (usually to the dogs bone or any electronic cord within a 20 foot radius) VERY fast. I can't look away for two seconds without him getting into something.
• He just recently cut his first tooth! It's his top left front tooth. He's being rebelious by not getting his bottom teeth first. I'm sure the rest will be following very quickly. We already think we can see his top right front one about to pop through.
• He's still only eating two solid meals a day, but he's getting really good at feeding himself when we let him. He makes a huge mess, but has a blast doing it. His favorite food is yogurt. He gobbles that down.
• He sleeps through the night a lot now. Not every night, but at least half of the time, if not more. A month ago I thought he would never sleep through the night so this is big news!
• I don't think it's going to be long at all until he starts pulling up on stuff. He already tries to pull himself up on me, and he's getting pretty good at it. This means major trouble, and I'm terrified. I need to get on this baby proofing business ASAP!

He's pretty amazing, and I still can't believe that he's our son. He has such a huge personality! He loves to laugh and make other people smile. He has a fake laugh that he does to get us to laugh back at him. It always works, he's hilarious. He's also super shy. He will smile at you and then tuck his head down so you can't look at him anymore. Or bury his head in my shirt if somebody tries to talk to him. I know both David and I were really shy as kids, so it's not too surprising that Beckett is too. He still loves his swing and would be content sitting in it and watching the dogs run around the yard for hours. He's the best, we love him more and more every day, and I can't wait to see what new thing he will be doing tomorrow. Now here are some pictures:

Not funny dad, not funny.

Video game junkie already. Awesome.

Beck and Cliff are great pals. Lola still would rather just stay away from him.

Decisions, decisions

Beckett has enough Husker gear to last him through the season, no problem. So come Husker Saturday, I have a hard time picking out his outfit. Today I asked David which shirt Beckett should wear, and he couldn't decide either. So I figured it only made sense to let Beckett decide for himself.

I laid the two shirts that I couldn't decide between out on the floor in front of Beck. Then I told him to pick the one he wanted to wear today.

He took his time deciding between the two, carefully considering each one.

He finally decided on the gray and black one. It was a good decision. Next week he'll wear the red one, unless he decides otherwise, that is.
