Happy New Year.

He walked around with this hat on for DAYS.




Ben- Avatar 3D Style


Trying a Sour Patch Kid


"I don't think so, Mom" (I found it back in the bag, all sucked on and sticky.)

Catch up!

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated, as usual. Ben has changed from my sweet, tiny baby to an intelligent, dynamic, silly little boy in what seems like overnight. Here's a little recap from the last few months:

Halloween:

He's going to KILL me for this costume...


"Why, oh why, Mom?!?"


Ben's Funny Face for when that segment comes on Yo Gabba Gabba


Christmas:

Ben: "Who the heck is THIS STRANGE GUY?!?"
Chelsea: "If Ben's crying, then I'd BETTER be screaming!!!"


Our tree before it died like 2 minutes later




Family shot


Yes, I know he still looks exactly like Brad.



Enjoying a candy cane at 9am


NOT enjoying the bow Mama just put on his head


Opening some legos


Getting ready to throw legos all over the living room

Ben really is at such a great age. He runs and plays, gives hugs and kisses, and seems to soak up every little bit of knowledge out there. He is "talking" up a storm, mostly in "Ben-isms." His newest thing that is just so darn adorable-- thanks to Kylie, Krista, and Dee he is OBSESSED with Ring Around The Rosie. As you sing it, he spins in a circle until you get to "...ashes, ashes we all fall DOWN!" Well, Ben stops and sways and goes, "ASSES, ASSES.....DOOOOOOOOOWN!" Ahhh, too cute.

Anyway...hopefully I'll get some more pictures and update before he is 18! Happy New Year!
