The Can-Can

My baby can do the Can-Can....at least that is what Mommy says. We got to go to the doctor yesterday to try to hear my baby's heartbeat. Dr. DeVries was having trouble finding my baby because he or she is so small still. We heard a "pop" noise that Dr. DeVries said was a kick. My baby did that twice. Mama couldn't feel the kicks, but she said she will soon enough! Dr. DeVries finally heard the heartbeat, although Mama and Daddy couldn't quite decipher it. But the doctor is the expert, so we trust him.
I'm so excited to be a big brother!
All my love,
Benjamin

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to all my friends and family. We're back and blogging! Its been a busy year so far. I've been able to play with my toys from Christmas, start going to Bible Study with Mommy on Tuesdays, and sometimes we have playdates with our friends at their houses. Here are a few pictures to catch you up.

Having fun at Grandma Nina's house.

Squinting my eyes...one of my new favorite things to do!

Mommy and Daddy told me I am going to be a big brother! My baby is due August 19th. They already put a picture in my family photo album!

I'm already learning to put on my shoes. I even put them on the correct feet!

My Great-Great Uncle Jimmy made this rocking horse. I love to play on it when I visit my Great-Grandma Jo's house.

My Great-Uncle Chris and Great-Aunt Sally gave me this Elmo for Christmas. I've loved snuggling him since he came to my house!

I loved getting into a little mischief under the Christmas tree.

I got a lot of really great books for Christmas. This one is all about my sight!

Speaking of sight, I got a black eye on Christmas Day! Ouch!

This is our holiday family photo. Mama was going to put it in a Christmas letter, but she never got around to it.

I love to blow kisses.....from our house

to yours. We love you!

All my love,
Benjamin

Long time, no hello

Its been a while since my last blog post. We are all moved in. My room is looking a little like it did before. Mama has decided not to hang any of my goodies on the wall yet though because she wants to paint the walls first. I am having fun exploring my new house. My Grandma Nina's dog Princess loves spending time with Mama and me during the day. I love squatting down and looking at her. Its been fun living in Omaha again. I love spending extra time with my Grandma Nina and my Uncle TJ. Daddy is enjoying his job at Open Door Mission! He says that he loves it! I am thankful for that. Well, I hope to post pictures soon. Mama has been taking them but just hasn't hooked up her computer yet (we've been using Grandma Nina's).
All my love,
Benjamin

My trip to Omaha

My trip to Omaha was great! It was a good time seeing my Great-Grandma Jo, Great-Uncle David, Grandma Nina, Uncle TJ, Ms. Ashley and my new cousin Preston! I got to dress up twice for Halloween; once as a cowboy and the other time as Shrek. I had a playdate with my friend Lyla, visited my friends at Open Door Mission and got to take lots of walks! Here are a few pictures from my trip!

Grandma Nina, Mama and I all dressed-up at Treat Street.

I'm an Ogre!

Trying out my old carseat to make sure that it is safe and warm for Preston.

All tuckered out...goodnight!

Welcome Preston Thomas Klindt!!

My cousin Preston was born this morning at 4:12 a.m. weighing in at 9 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 inches long. TJ, Ashley and Preston are all doing well. Grandma Nina and Mama stayed at the hospital all night long praying while awaiting Preston's arrival. I got to stay at home and sleep with Daddy! I can't wait to meet my cousin! Mama took many pictures and will put them on our blog once we are back in OKC Sunday afternoon.

Cousin What's His Name

I am going to get to meet my cousin "What's His Name" pretty soon. My Uncle TJ says that my cousin should be coming this week sometime! We are going to drive to Omaha on Wednesday and spend 1 to 1 1/2 weeks there visiting our family! Yippee!!! I'll make sure to show you a picture of my cousin once he arrives!

All my love,
Benjamin

Birthday!!!!

I wanted to thank everyone for my wonderful birthday surprises today. I got wonderful phone calls, happy birthday songs, and so many fun books and toys! I can't wait to play with all of them! Mama wanted to put pictures on our blog to show you, but the blog is having difficulties. She says she'll put them up as soon as she can! I love you,
Benjamin
