Benjamin is ONE!

Wow--- where does the time go? I can't believe that our second little man turned one on Saturday. For Christian's 1st Birthday we took a short family trip to the beach. It was wonderful the weather was still warm and we were able to enjoy the water. A totally diffrent story for Benjamin being born in Febuary. The forcast was wet and rainy so we decided to head to Richmond for the weekend. Before I post a few pictures I thought I would share some of what he is up to these days since I haven't done it in soooo long...

*He is totally off of baby food and has been since about Thanksgiving he is a GREAT eater and will eat Christian under the table almost every meal.
*He has started walking some. Just last Thursday he walked 1/2 way across the living room and has done it once or twice since then.
*He has 10 teeth he had 4 for the longest time and just in the past month he has gotten 6 more!
*His vocabulary is growing he can say-- Mama, Ball, Bye Bye, Hi, Hey and he has recently started tring to say vroom vroom as he drives cars and trucks around like his big brother. We have not used sign language with him nearly as much as Christian but he does tell us more more
*He can clap his hands
*He loves to jump
*He can wave
*He is off of the bottle
*He is sharing a room with his big brother
*He loves to dance
Getting ready to take his first ride facing forward in the car!
He was so excited he is waving bye bye bye
This is what he does when he see the camera come his way now- so cute!
Eating Spaghetti for the first time on his birthday at Olive Garden
I would say that he likes itMessy Messy Trying to eat and do his smile at the same time!
So we stuck with it and didn't give Benjamin any sweets until his actual birthday which is what we did with Christian but it was much harder this time around. Here is the cookie we got for him to try. LOVE this picture look at his little face. They came out and sang happy birthday to him and then set a little bowl of ice cream in front of him. His face looks like he is in udder shock.
It didn't take him long to dig in! Trying his cookie
I think if he could have fit the whole piece in his mouth at one time he would have!
So funny this is when he got a good bite of that cold ice cream Happy Boy!
Asking for more....... and totally disappointed when he didn't get more.
Our family on Benjamin's 1st Birthday! Happy Birthday Benjamin. I can't wait until his party on Saturday and will post more pictures after that!
