9 months old

I can't figure out why we are so busy! We don't leave the house much and I'm home all day and I can't believe Christmas is in 2 weeks. Luckily, I was pretty organized this year, so I am almost finished shopping and the wrapping is at least started. It's amazing what you can get done when you know you have very limited time to do it. I spent about an hour shopping last weekend and was able to get a lot off of our list and even some stuff not on the list.

We have an appointment with our Pediatrician next week and we can't wait to see where the Becklets are on the charts. They are getting so big. They are already in some 12 month clothes and some 12 month are already too small on Daniel! The tooth count is holding steady at 2 for Anna, 1 for Kathryn and still zero for Daniel. Still not crawling, but boy are we trying...here is Anna showing Daniel what to do...

We had a little incident the other day with the girls....they were playing together on the floor like this....

....the next thing I heard was Kathryn (on the right) crying. I went to see what was going on and Anna was practically on top of her, smiling away, scratching at her forehead, resulting in this....(see the scratches on her forehead?)

Once I picked her up she was fine and the scratches were gone in less than 2 days. Anna was having a great time and laughing the whole time. Of course, I cut Anna's nails that night. They grow so quickly. I feel like we are cutting them every other day.

Kevin was off today so we took the Becklets to see Santa at the mall. There was no one there so we were in and out in about 15 minutes. No one cried. But, no one smiled either. And, if you look closely, you can see why the jeans that Daniel has on will now be passed on to Aiden....the snap popped as soon as he sat on Santa's lap and I didn't notice it until it was too late. (Anna, Daniel, Kathryn) Keri - thanks for the cute shirts!!

We then attempted to take some pictures in front of the Christmas tree. Here are a few of the 200+ photos that we took...Anna, Daniel, Kathryn...

How cute!!!!!!!! What a wonderful Christmas you guys will have, although I'll bet the Becklets will enjoy the wrappings more than anything!!!!!

Love to all,

Why does the littlest Becklet have to be so aggressive? Maybe she's trying to make Kate more outgoing. I know "Dan the Man" can defend himself. Are they ready for Christmas. All the Iggles, Phillies items they will be receiving will probably fill one room by itself.

Thank goodness you live so far away because everytime you post one of these, I want to come over and give them kisses. I would get nothing done if you lived near!

Hope to see you soon!
