One Year of Baby Ben

Wow! Can't believe it for one second...I feel like Ethan just turned 1 and now my sweet baby Ben has hit his year mark...ok so sweet may not be the BEST descriptive word for his current state....lets say energetic, or maybe silly, or social. He can be VERY sweet, but also VERY devious. I have realized that the second child, especially coming after an older brother who is very busy and determined himself, makes for a fighter. Ben knows how to get what he wants, and makes no questions about it. He is still chubby chubby chubby, which is just fine by me, means I get to squeeze his baby muffin top a little longer. He is the smiliest child I think I have ever seen, and he loves making other people smile. He growls a lot, instigates wrestling matches regularly, is walking all over the place, and is one of my favorite things to bump into when I turn a corner. He has brought so much joy to our family this year and it warms my heart to see my two little boys who love each other so much. Couldn't ask for anything better...Love my little Ben so much! so here's a tribute to a full year of baby Ben!

So the video didn't work very well, it's seriously slow motion...but that is what Ben loves at 1 year old...to run around the house kicking a ball...he's obsessed, and he's adorable. Cant believe I was lucky enough to get this little guy! Happy one year to my sweet Benjamin- I love you!
