Ben's First Birthday

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BEN!

My little baby is so grown up now! Ben is such a joy in our family. It has been so fun to experience a baby boy in our home. Ben's little personality started to show when he was just a few months old. Here's a list of things that describe our Benjamin Timothy:

1. He gets so excited to be around his sisters (and they love him)

2. Ben especially loves his dad (and his dad adores him).

3. Somehow, he knows when things are funny, and lately, he's the one trying to get us to laugh.

4. Ben LOVES balls and books. If you gave him a room full of them, he'd be content for hours.

5. He turns into smiley/shy man when attention is on him.

6. He's learning some baby sign language. So far, he knows 'all done', 'hot', 'dog', 'bee', 'butterfly', 'elephant', 'more', and 'toothbrush'.

7. He loves to dance. (I think this may have come from observing ballerina Sophia.)

8. He does NOT like it when I teach piano.

9. He STILL has cradle cap on his head!

10. He is allergic to dairy.

11. He learned how to run this week

12. He loves peas (but not the baby food variety)

13. He is a good sleeper.

14. He likes to hide our remotes and play in the toilet.

15. He is loved dearly by his mommy.

We love you Ben!

Ben's Ball Cake

Silly Ben wouldn't eat his cake until we gave him a spork. Aren't they supposed to get super messy when they eat their birthday cake? Who knew we were raising such a proper young man?:)

He was super excited to ride on his new toy. Yeah for Ben!
