Just a few more months to the big o-n-e!! So crazy!!! Ben is such a wonderful little man! I love everything about being his mom. I love that I'm the one who can stop the crying instantly...the one who he always wants...the one he looks for from across the room...the one who can make him smile bigger than anyone else...the one he cries for when I leave the room....the one who knows immediately what he needs...what a wonderful job I have! I've said it before, but I'll say it again - this stage is by far one of my favorites. So what's Ben up to? He still isn't crawling forward, but is getting better each day at going backwards, he has 6 teeth, is working hard on pulling himself up from sitting to standing, is eating a ton of table foods and loves to feed himself, is still in a size 3 diaper and size 6-9 mos clothing - although most are getting too snug! Ben is still a great sleeper, taking two naps a day and sleeping about 11 hrs at night. We're so thankful for that!! Just this week we had a first - Brad thought Ben's hair was a little long, so for reasons unknown to me, decided to cut it himself. Once the first snip was made, there was no stopping him! So poor Ben ended up going to the salon yesterday to fix what daddy had done - NEVER AGAIN!! Poor little man screamed the entire time - he was sweating, I was sweating, Addisyn was getting a little panicked - good thing I bought her pretzels before the chaos had begun!! I did take pictures when Brad was doing the cutting, but no way could I manage to get some at the salon! And I didn't take pics after Brad was done - we'll pretend that cut didn't happen!!! Ben looks so grown up now...breaks my heart!
And just because she's so cute...this is Addisyn before gymnastics this morning!
