We're Baaack!

It's been so long-hopefully things will start settling down so we are able to update you more!

Benjamin had his 1 year appointment last week-he is very healthy and doing outstanding! He is 23 lbs, 4 oz and 30 inches tall. That is 50th percentile for weight, and 85th for height. He has really fallen off the charts in weight, but we aren't surprised-the boy NEVER stops, literally. He is on the go constantly and into everything. He is walking everywhere, although I'm not sure if I would "officially" call him a walker yet-he still falls a lot and prefers to crawl if he needs to get somewhere fast. He also loves climbing stairs, emptying cupboards, drawers, and closets, pushing all of the buttons on his toys (we know every song and sound by heart!), and pushing around everything with wheels! He is also quite the climber-he has learned how to climb onto the couch and chairs. He is babbling all of the time, and loves to say dada, mama, kitty, baba, and hi. He is learning how to "gently" pet the cats and still loves Chloe to death!

Happy Fall!

Fall Adventures

Benjamin in his Spartans jersey-doesn't seem to be bringing them much luck this season :( We are hoping for a big win this weekend! GO STATE!
Riding the train at the Detroit Zoo for the first time-LOVED it! He had a big smile on his face the whole ride.

Benjamin's favorite new food-toast. Not sure if he likes the taste or just the GIANT mess that it makes!

On the train at the zoo again!

Benjamin riding the 1 cent horse at Meijer. Again, he had a big smile on his face the whole time!

More Party Photos

Sorry that this has taken so long...as you can imagine with the start of school, things around here have been very busy! I promise to post more this week, but a quick update: Benjamin is SO close to walking. He is taking more and more steps every day and is walking to get everywhere. He is still opening his new toys and clothes, but loves them all.

1 Year Old!

Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet little Benjamin! We had an incredible day today-a huge party with so many of our friends and family. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day, and Benjamin got so many nice presents. We love this little guy more than anything in the whole world-he brings us such joy and happiness each and every day. More pictures coming soon!
