ben turns one!

What an amazing year it's been! We celebrated Ben's first birthday at the end of our long Christmas vacation.

Ben is now 28 pounds and 33 inches. He walks, tries to run to keep up with Owen, and has a few words- Mom, Dad, bye, baa (when he sees a sheep), book, something like brother, bottle. He still likes to eat, but what he likes keeps changing. He's sleeping good at night- up to 12 hours- and enjoys his naps. He love hugging us, and grabbing his brother. His favorite toys are anything Owen is playing with, cell phones, and blue blankie.

We had a little birthday party, which I think he enjoyed. Owen helped me make and decorate cupcakes, which Ben ate very delicately- not much to clean up, surprisingly.
