Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, Beckett had his first Thanksgiving, even though I'm not sure how much he enjoyed it.  While we missed spending Thanksgiving with Joe's family like we normally do, it was nice not to travel this year.  (We will make up for it at Christmas anyway.)  My parents came to visit and it was nice to see them.  My dad was so excited for Beckett to try some turkey.  Becks wasn't too thrilled with anything except the pumpkin pie.  (Nice choice.)  My dad and Joe cooked up a storm and we ate leftovers for several days.  It was all delicious.  

Unfortunately, Beckett caught a cold the day after Thanksgiving.  I wanted to take him to sit on Santa's lap while my parents were here, but he didn't sleep well because he couldn't breathe and he was so cranky!  Finally on Sunday he started to feel better and started acting like his usual, happy self.   We are hoping for Santa pictures this weekend instead.

We have been giving him different baby foods and rice cereal.  He seems to like the cereal, but he wants to feed himself.  He has tried bananas, carrots, and applesauce and wasn't too thrilled with any of them.  He is still getting the hang of how to keep it in his mouth.  His faces are too funny.  He makes a face sometimes before the food even gets in his mouth.  

Other than that, there isn't too much going on here.  I did get to put a Christmas tree (a big one- finally!) with my mom and that was a lot of fun.  It looks pretty good, minus the yucky white lights.  Joe and I are really looking forward to Beckett's first Christmas and for him to have the chance to meet the other half of his family!
