Great Grandma Jo

I'm sure you've already met my Great Grandma Jo. She is a really neat gal! I like going to her house because she lets me ride Jimmy the rocking horse. I'm starting to get really good at riding him that Mama doesn't even need to hold on to me or Jimmy anymore. She does help me get my leg over Jimmy's saddle though still. Soon I'll be tall enough that I'll be able to do that by myself also!

Grandma Nina and I sat for a couple of pictures with my Great Grandma Jo. Enjoy!

All my love,
Benjamin

Goodbye Grandma and Papa

We'll miss you!

My Grandma Sheila and Papa Ron visited me for one whole week! I had loads of fun playing games with them!

We went on walks together, played at the park, went to the mall and even ate at the Cheesecake Factory!

I can't wait until my next visit with them!

My Playdate

Mama and I went to a playdate yesterday afternoon and I had a great time! We went to my friend Reese's house. I was the only boy there-but I sure had a good time. Reese's mommy took these pictures of us! Enjoy!

The Circus!!!

This afternoon Mama and Daddy and I went to the Shriner's Circus. It was great! I saw tigers and clowns and acrobats. My favorite part was the light-up stick I got! Here are a few pictures from my first trip to the circus.

Last night I also got to spend some one-on-one time with my Uncle TJ. Mama and Daddy went to a Toby Mac concert so I got to go to Uncle TJ's house and play!

Some updated pictures

I've been a busy boy with Mama and Daddy. I'm growing like a weed and enjoying every minute of it. Here are some pictures of my days!

Daddy and I on the balance beam at Gymboree

I loved all of the toys at Gymboree

Mommy and I playing in the tubes at Gymboree

The tubes were almost at tall at me

Mommy's glider broke. Daddy and I tried to fix it

I spilled some water. I even licked the carpet, blah!

Getting used to my toddler bed. I will sleep on this when my baby arrives

Daddy brought me my first basketball jersey from Los Angeles.

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
