Autumn has always been my favorite season, and so far Beckham too is loving it. We’ve already been to the pumpkin patch twice, and both times he had the time of his life stacking hay on top of pumpkins. It was funny to see the difference in personalities between Beckham and Carter, my cousin Paige’s baby. While Carter was nervous to be put down in the pumpkin patch, Beckham was LIVID when we took him back out.
Beckham took his first steps a day after turning 13 months old. That morning I had told someone he has “zero interest” in walking, but later that afternoon when he was standing against something I encouraged him to try some steps. It took a few tries, and then he took two steps! I was squealing with excitement. A few weeks later, he can take about 6 steps max before falling down (throwing himself into my arms), but he gets a giant smile every time. If I tell him, “Show Grandma how you walk!” or “Walk to the kitty!” he is happy to oblige.
