Benjamin's First Birthday

Benjamin is one and I'm only just barely getting around to hanging up some adorable 6 mos pictures of him. hah! C'est la vie.

We celebrated the big ONE with family in New York with all the grandparents, cousins, most of the aunts and uncles (missed you, Brian!), and even some second cousins. Because I'm totally lame when it comes to picture taking all these NY pictures are photos Carrie took (thanks, Carrie!).







On Saturday early early morning, ohhhh around 12:28, we were driving home and stopped to think about this time 12 months ago. Okay, so we actually missed 12:28, it was more like 12:32 haha, but let's just pretend here. I would go through pregnancy, labor and delivery all again ten times over because he is so worth it. (11 times is pushing it though...)


Ben doesn't really like being thrown, but we do it anyway ...

That evening we celebrated with cupcakes (the mix inherited from the Blevins!) topped with whipped cream and raspberries. YUM. Benjamin liked it too!




Benjamin's personality shining through:

  • He's beginning to tantrum 
  • His favorite food is/are raspberries 
  • His favorite book is How do Dinosaurs go to School (this SAVED us on the airplane!)
  • He definitely understands the words: Benjamin, Ben, diaper, light, milk, outside, bath, pacifier
  • He probably understands the words: bottle, Momma, Dadda, park, stroller, food, eat, book, TV, fan
  • His best friend is Zack Ransom - though he likes any kid under 2 that walks through our door
  • He still loves his paci
  • His favorite game is toppling over towers or getting chased
I am so looking forward to this next year with my boys. We have such a wonderful little family :).
