Bennett is One!

Even though we asked him to slow down a little bit, Bennett didn't listen - he is 1 today!

What a year it has been...

Bennett has changed so much and we can hardly believe we have been a family of 4 for one whole year.  

Bennett has been such a sweet little boy.  He is a cuddle bug who loves to just sit and relax with the people he loves. 

He enjoys books about animals or trucks. 

He loves to play with his basketballs, baseballs and footballs.

Lately he has been pointing to toys outside that he wants to play with like the swing, sandbox, or bike. 

This little boy loves anything that he can hold onto - poles, steering wheel, and handle bars. 

Bennett has done so much growing in the past few weeks.

He gets into everything in the cupboards, pulls himself up, walks along the furniture, and chases Marie with his quick crawling skills.
Bennett has 6 teeth with 2 more poking through.
He weighs 25 lbs. and is 31 inches long. 

Bennett is starting to try more words and talking, too.  He says Da-Da, Ma-Ma, yeah, and shakes his head "no."

He has also learned how to throw fits...this part is not fun to go through but it is a little comical to see our easy going boy find some drama. 

Bennett, you are such a joy and we love you very much!

Happy Birthday!
