A little about him... he is such a little sweetheart - always has a smile, especially for his brothers. Around our house, he is called "Benjamin" or "Squeaky". (Before Benjamin was born, Roman always called him Squeaky... we really have no idea where this came from, but it's sticking, at least from Roman!) Benjamin still LOVES sitting - no interest in crawling or walking or pulling up or anything like that. Although, he does "get around" - when sitting, he swings his legs in a full circle and moves to where he needs to go! So really, he's a smart little guy! We haven't been to his one-year wellness check yet, but last we knew, he was "rockin' the 90's", as in 90th-percentile on height, weight and head size. If I had to guess today what he would be when he grows up, I would say a ball player (not sure which game),but he LOVES throwing and (sort-of) catching a ball... OR a drummer. I think he'd be perfect as either one. :-)
We got to celebrate Benjamin's birthday last Saturday with our family -- Raefe, Ada, Ross, Brittany, Conrad, Kalen, Grandpa Mark & Grandma Susan, Grandma Rosie, and Grandpa Rick & Kim! It was a fun day! Here are some pics to highlight...
Benjamin's "smash" cake... and then the yummy cake that the rest of us got to eat!
Benjamin did not appreciate the "birthday song" as we had hoped, and then he tried pushing his cake onto the floor... maybe a little too much attention/noise that the birthday boy wasn't expecting?!
So Jake stepped in and helped him out, just to get started...
...and then he soon figured out the yumminess that he had in front of him, and dove right in!
After the cake came a quick dip in the tub for the birthday boy, a change of clothes, and then some gifts!
The gifts were all very nice, and so was the tissue paper! (noisy!!!)
A fun day to celebrate our little man!!
