A big week in the life of Beckett Grady

It's been a big week in the life of Beckett Grady, but then when you are 9 months old and developing at a lightning fast pace when isn't it a big week? This past week Beckett started swim lessons [he LOVES the water, particularly the splashing part], successfully learned how to walk behind his walker without falling on his face and played in the snow with Grammie Robbie and his new sled [a short lived adventure due to blowing snow and chilly temperatures]. Additionally the 3 of us took a trip to Albany to see my friends from college. We're all turning 30 this year and try to be there for everyone's respective big birthday. They hadn't seen Beckett since the summer and couldn't believe how much he's grown. To quote my friend Lauren [the birthday girl] "He's only 9 months old? It seems like he should be a 1 1/2 or two or something". Most days I have a hard time believing my little baby is 9 months old. In some ways the time has flown so fast and at other times it's hard to believe he's only been in our lives for 9 [well technically 18] months. What did we do before he got here? I definitely don't think we laughed or smiled as much...
