Whoa, I am totally cutting it close this month. Benham was 10 months old way back on February 7th. I promised myself I would do this for my children. I already find myself paging through the early months of Maryn's life and feel thankful that I recorded it. Ben is still an active little guy and when you turn your head and don't see him anymore, he is more than likely in the laundry room playing in Bode's water bowl. The kid is FAST! Maryn has taught him to duel her in screaming contests. They banter back and forth and while it was cute at first, it is ear piercing now. I have a feeling that he's going to clear my refrigerator, freezer and pantry on a biweekly basis. He can throw down some food. Eats about 5 times as much as Maryn, and she's almost 3. He's still pushing his walker and when he ultimately crashes into a deadend, he just stands there and screams. All electrical outlets are covered but he has managed to find every open phone jack and jam his finger into it. He laughs like Woody Woodpecker and I do believe it warrants a videotaping. I might not get around to posting it until his third birthday but I'll still give myself a pat on the back for actually getting it done.
This is what boys do....
Put everything in their mouths.
...and this.
I found/heard him after his nap, jumping in his crib and screeching like a chimpanzee
...and this.
Eat boogers.
And this is the face that forces me to uncontrollably kiss him all over!
This face does that to me as well.
They L.O.V.E their Bo Bo!
Guess who's having a 'train' birthday party??
Icing daddy's Valentine's cake
And we have a thumb sucker :(
School partay!!
This is when I feel bad for the teachers...a little hyped up on sugar?
B's got to be a part of the action.
Haven't found anything this child won't eat.
His hair has grown quite a bit this month and *almost* lays flat. The fuzzy mohawk may soon be a sweet little memory of the past. Oh how I loved his fuzzy little snuggle head!
He sat here and actually rocked himself back and forth like a little old man and took in the sights, people watching with mommy.
The morning at the Aquarium ended up with Grandma and Maryn in the gift shop buying an Ariel bathtub castle. Not a total spoil moment, she did earn it. Dry Pull Up for three nights in a row!!! Yeah Mimi!!
And just when I'm starting to feel excited about moving out of the baby stage, one of my best friends goes and gives birth to this beauty and makes me want another one!!
