Thirteen Months

Dear Bennett,

You are thirteen months old today. You are officially walking and it's awesome to see. You strut around the house, so proud of your accomplishments, each foot firmly placed in front of the other, without a lot of wobble.

You're drinking from big kid cups and eating lots of big kid foods. Hummus is awesome! You're loving all the berries you can get your hands on: raspberries, blueberries, blackberries... you think they are all delicious. You also tried ice cream for the first time. Yum!

Your molars are working their way to the surface, too. That means lots of sleepless nights, tylenol, motrin, and icy anything.

You are still in love with cars, and continually push anything around the house and yard, making brrrrrrrrr noises. And you love to "help" in the garden. Time continually seems short these days. I remember the days feeling endless last summer. They were these deliciously long stretches, marked by nursing jags and walks to the library, but it seems that the longer the days get this year, the less time we get to spend together as a family. You are growing so fast I know we are going to have to make a bigger effort to keep from missing out.

So, watch for more posts this month... and more hugs and snuggles, my soon-to-be toddler.

I love you bunches,
Mama.

Happy Birthday

Dear Bennett,
You are one year old today!


We had an awesome carrot cake for you today with a cake topper from R. This was on his cake when he was little. We didn't have a party, just made some corncakes and peas (still your favorite). You wore your awesome custom robot 1 shirt from Olive and Ollie that you also wore at the little family gathering from last weekend.



Isn't the outfit grand?


You mashed with gusto, but didn't eat much of the cake.

Just the frosting.

More in a bit! Now it's time to skype with the grandparents before it's too late.

Love you,
Mama.
