One more month until Ben is One!?!?!?!? This past year has gone by way too fast. I wish I could go back and spend a day at each month. Ben is changing daily and while I love this stage he is at, I miss my sweet little baby that would let me hold him whenever I wanted. Now he doesn't ever want to be held. He still army crawls, but he can crawl the right way just not as fast. I think he will be walking soon. He can walk holding just one of my hands now, and he is starting to let go when moving from one object to the other.

The best word to describe Ben is busy. He is constantly on the go. He can make it from one room to the next in no time, and he is into everything. We have done a lot of baby proofing this month because Ben can get into anything. His favorite thing right now to do is play outside. He crawls to the door to the garage and bangs on it wanting to go play with his car. Anytime you open the back door Ben gets so upset if you don't take him out there to play. He loves to go out there to swing or see Macie.

This month Ben has been talking a lot, but not saying any specific words yet. Ben loves to pretend he is talking on the phone. Anytime a phone rings he holds his hand up to his ear to talk. He love to clap and dance and play peekaboo.

Ben still has just four teeth and I haven't noticed any new ones coming soon. He has been sleeping great lately. He is sleeping through the night and now with the time change he is sleeping until after 8am! He is FINALLY taking great naps. He will sleep anywhere from 1-2 hours in the morning and in the afternoon. It has been wonderful!

I think Ben probably weighs around 20 pounds now. Thankfully we aren't having to do anymore weight checks. His doctor has been wanting me to supplement him with formula, and I have finally found one that he likes so I think that is really going to help his weight gain. Now I am just nursing in the morning and at night. Ben still eats baby food, but I don't think he will much longer. Tonight he did feed himself his entire dinner of finger foods. He is feeding himself blueberries, apple slices, banana, bread, pasta pick ups, meat sticks, and much more. Despite him eating a lot more he still has not outgrown all of his 3-6 month clothes. He mainly wears 6-9 month clothes as well as a size 4 diaper and a size 3 shoes.

His chair pictures were so hard to take this month. I can't believe we even got any pictures of him in it. As soon as Shawn would set him in the chair he would immediately squirm out of the seat.

We had to use lots of distractions including books, Praise Baby, the remote and a couple balls.

Ben loves playing with his daddy

And likes to help Shawn mow the yard

He loves to pull all of the diapers out of the diaper stacker

He climbs on anything he can

Adam is so good with Ben

Ben can't believe he is going to be One in a month!

Here is a little sneak peak into the next month!

Hard at Work

The weather here has been beautiful the last few days and we have been playing outside a lot. Ben loves to ride in his car.

I love his summery outfit and shoes

After we rode up and down the street, I let him out and he pushed his car all over the driveway. He was on a mission. I don't know what his mission was, but he did not want me to stop him. He fell a couple of times and when I would pick him up he would lose it until I put him back down.

Very Busy!

Sweet Boy

Finally it was getting dark so we needed to go inside. He cried and cried and cried. This little boy loves to be outside!

Climbing in the Cabinets

One of Ben's favorite things to do is go through the cabinets. He is really starting to climb and loves to climb into the cabinets. Aren't these froggy pajamas adorable!

Sweet Boys

I LOVE Aggie Baseball

Going to the baseball games this year have been so much fun, although I spend more time watching Ben than the game. He is the absolute cutest thing I have ever seen at these games. He just dances and dances and dances to the music between innings and before each batter, and then he claps and claps and claps although he hasn't quite got it down that we only clap when the Aggies do good.

Ben Dancing

Then Clapping

I use to think baseball was boring, but now it SO much fun!

I can't believe how old he looks in these videos. He looks like a little boy not my sweet little baby.

Lindsey & I are excited to announce that we have our new blog store up and running! A BIG thanks to Rachel for doing such a beautiful job!!

We hope you will consider using us for your personalized clothing and gifts!!
