One more month away from the BIG ONE - literally!! Where did the past year go?? I have to admit when he was first born, time went so slow. Face it, infants are not easy, and Beckett was no exception. My mantra in the first few months was, "this too shall pass." Now that he's developed his personality and he's not so fragile, I'd like it to slow down a bit.
He's just starting to pull himself up on things - he gets one leg up and that's about it. I doubt he'll be walking by one, but that's okay. The baby proofing is really going to have to go into full effect once he is, so I'm fine with waiting a bit.
No words yet either, just a lot of growls, grunts and other odd noises. He makes the funniest sounds!! He also has this odd fascination with lights..he just stares at them. He may not even be human. I mean look at that Richard Simmons perm will you?? Admittedly that picture was taken right after a bath, when the curl was at an all time high. It usually "softens" a bit (thank goodness, that's a bit too tight for me!!).
For those of you who may be shopping early for the big first birthday bash, he's into designer hand bags (favors Coach) and he loves massages at the Wentworth Spa. Hey, I'm just trying to help!
Anyway, we love you, you grunty, curly mass of cuteness!!
I heard him say Yankees stink.

He still looks really Irish to me. That hair! Love it! He'll be drinking down "pints" with the best of 'em someday.
Happy Birthday Beckett.

Next time I'm heading through Maine I might stop and steal some of those curls off his head! LOVE THEM! He's SO adorable!

He looks an awful lot like the Schwans delivery man in that picture - ummm...Wendy...?
I'll be sure to shop at Coach for his first purse.

Eeewww..our Schwann's go is so not hot. No, it's more like the guy who paints the "happy clouds..."

I am so proud of my growling, almost one nephew! Happy 11 month b-day little guy!

He's a such a cutie (all your kids are, but since it's his '1 month 'til 1 post', it's ok to single him out, right?).
