My Benjamin

MY BENJAMIN
Lets see what can I say about my Benjamin. He is such a CRAZY little boy. He keeps me on my toes! His is already a huge tease! He loves to come up to me when I'm sitting on the couch and grab either my cell phone or the remote and run away as fast as he can while laughing his head off. He knows how to push my buttons and he does all the time!

He is a very good sleeper. He still takes two naps a day, at least two hours each. I guess I shouldn't be surprised cause he burns so much energy throughout the day. He is so so active! And sleeps wonderfully at night. He sleeps in his own crib all night long. He and Mal share a room so they do a good job keeping each other company. They both sleep all night with no problems. I am a lucky mom right now! I get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night! I am counting my blessings.

He eats EVERYTHING. I swear, I don't know where he puts it all. He out eats me a lot of the time. There are a few things he won't eat but not many. He loves bananas, yogurt, pasta, and hot dogs. He already has a major sweet tooth. He cries for the sweets all the time! I have been making amish friendship bread every ten days lately cause its a cheap good snack for the kids. They love it but Ben especially loves it.

He is still very very attached to his blanket. He has now realized that we have two of them and sometimes when he is really sad he insists on having both of them. And he still finds the edging of the blanket and rubs it on the tip of his nose while sniffing it. He is so strange with these blankets. I have no idea where he picked it up. I just hope he out grows it before kindergarten! When he is really relaxed and sniffing his blanket he will sometimes share a sniff or two with those he really loves! And he gives you this look like, yeah isn't that nice. He just figures we all enjoy the "sniffing" as much as he does.

Ben just started nursery a few weeks ago! I am one happy momma now. It was getting to the point where Chad and I couldn't enjoy church at all cause we were so busy chasing him. So I am very proud and glad to say that he is doing the whole nursery thing with no problems what so ever!!! Lets hope it stays that way!

Ben is quite the handful but I wouldn't have it any other way. He brings so much laughter to our lives. His nickname is " The Destroyer" he truly destroys anything he can get his hands on! But we love him none the less!
