First Christmas!

Duncan had a wonderful first Christmas! Grammy and Bobpa drove into town on the Sunday to spend the whole week with us. We went to the Trail of Lights, Christmas Eve Service at Lake Hills Church, Christmas Eve dinner at mom and dad's, Christmas breakfast at mom and dads, Christmas dinner at Char and Russ's with the ENTIRE Beardlsey family - all 38 of us - whew! Duncan was such a trooper.

first Trail of Lights (scaled down this year due to the economy - was a big dissappointment)... First Christmas outfit! :)

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Duncan had his first visit with Santa and it went great - at least for me, maybe not for poor Santa. Duncan went right to him without a care in the world. I thought he would pull his glassess or beard off, but instead he just sat there quietly, smiled right at him and then put his head on his shoulder. He was abnormally still while mom and I shot off a bunch of pictures. Afterwards, as we were leaving I noticed a horrible stinch. Duncan had one of his horrible diapers that have gotten progressevly worse as we try new foods. I now know why he was so still with santa - he was working on a diaper!!!! SO SORRY SANTA! We are really looking forward to Duncan's 1st Christmas!

1st Thanksgiving

Duncan spent his first Thanksgiving in Albuquerque with the Gorrell family that he got to meet for the first time - Great Grandparents Art and Helen Gorrell, Jeff, Lisa, Tiana and Sterling Gorrell and Joe, Ann, Madison and Morgan McFerron. We had a huge slumber party at Grammy and Grandpa Bop-Bob's. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday and watched football to digest, went shopping in Old Town on Friday, took the train to Sante Fe on Saturday along with friends Brett and Christina and visited friends Mike and Lacy Robson on Sunday. whew...what a busy weekend!

First Tooth

Duncan got his first tooth! Daddy noticed it had broken the gums on Thurs. evening.

Some of Duncan's favorite things to do these days:

play with Flynt and Boston - he can sit outside for hours and just watch the dogs and yell and laugh at them. Anytime we pass by a window looking into the backyard he stops to look for them.

He loves hats (baseball caps to be exact). He wants to be with whoever is wearing a hat and he will chew on the brim of it. It started with Daddy's hats, but now he will see total strangers in the store and try to go for their hat.

He loves songs and dancing - his Aunt Stephi started him on the dancing. Any time he starts to get a little fussy all I have to do is turn on his Slugs, Bugs & Lullubies CD or sing "I am a Lion..." and he immediately gets happy.

He likes to make a lot of noise both with his voice and banging toys on things.

I use my phone a lot to take pictures of him on the fly...anytime he sees the phone come out he gives me a HUGE smile :)
