Why We Love Benjamin

Benjamin is such a great little boy. He has developed such a personality and he never ceases to amaze us. He is a quick learner and is always ready to play and have fun. Here are some of his recent antics:

Ben has started to put himself down for naps. This has some...interesting results. None of these photos or poses have been manipulated by Dennis or Rachel in any way; this is exactly the way we found Ben sleeping.


Just a diaper and a bear


Sleeping on the pile of blankets we put behind the crib as storage, across the room from his bed.


Somehow he fell asleep with a duck balanced on his chest!

Ben is one cool kid! He likes to wear his sunglasses inside and when he does he walks around saying "Heyyyyyyy" like Fonzie from Happy Days. Here he is riding his trike with his shades on and no pants.


Benjamin is such a big helper; he wants to do whatever Dennis and Rachel are doing. Here he is helping Daddy assemble his new dresser.




Benjamin just started singing short songs and he would bow as Rachel clapped for him. We have no idea where he learned to bow!



We got Benjamin some soft letter blocks at the library to encourage his interest in letters. Dennis started to juggle them and Benjamin couldn't resist joining the fun!



Rachel loves to sing with Benjamin, who is picking up on the words to songs pretty fast. Here Ben is singing "I am a Child of God" with mom.

Benjamin is such a sweet boy and we can't wait to see him as a big brother to David!

What a sweet boy! He is picking up on stuff soo fast. It is wonderful to see kids grow and learn. I wonder if he learned to bow from his cousin Taydom?
