Big Boy!

Well, Bennett is going to be a whole year in about a month.  I've started planning his party, Dr. Suess theme, and trying to decide what to get the big boy for his birthday.  He has enough toys as it is and I'm sure he'll get plenty more at his party.  I'm thinking about getting him a wagon and maybe a big boy chair with his name on it.  Lots to decide on in the next month!!

Bennett is eating more and more real food now.  I'm still limiting him on some stuff since he only has 2 teeth.  But he loves bread and pretty much any vegetable.  The other day I gave him some baby food mango and he ate the entire jar of it!  :)  He loves to eat!  But it makes me really nervous when he chokes on something- he's just gotta learn to chew it up good!  :) 

He still gets up once a night.  Hopefully he grow out of that soon.  ;)  He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 each night and usually gets up around 3:00 or 3:30.  Last night he slept til 4:30!  But he didn't get any good naps yesterday so I think he was just really tired!

He's not walking yet but he's cruising around a lot!  He can pull up really well and then he'll move from side to side.  A lot of times he'll pull up on the entertainment center and then move to his 2 big toys that are beside it and play.  :)  A couple of times he's let go and then fallen to the floor but at least he's trying.

He had his first ear infection the other week.  Poor little fella.  He didn't run a fever and wasn't really fussy with it but I kept noticing him touching his ear.  Jason took him in and they pulled out 2 ear boogers and said both ears were infected.  He had a round of antibiotic.  Unfortunately it didn't quite clear it up because I took him back today and he has to do another round of a little bit stronger antibiotic.  Hopefully after that his ears will be clear!!

Here they are, the chair pictures.






Just some other random pictures:

It's been a while

It's been a while since I've written- nothing really new- I'll update more in detail next week for the 11 month!!  Bennett is such a joy- growing and learning more and more each day!  He's such a happy baby and my love keeps growing!  I don't see how it can but it does.  He'll be 11 months soon!!   I've started to plan his 1st birthday- can't believe it's already here!!!  Here are some recent pictures and some videos!

Watching the big kids play outside!
LOVE this one!
My handsome little guy!
Love that little mouth of his :)
He looks like a big boy here!
Look at those LEGS!!!

This video is so funny!  Jason took Bennett outside Sunday because it was so nice and warm.  All he had on was a onesie- no socks or pants.  Well, Jason knelt down to put Bennett's feet down on the ground.  Apparently Bennett did not like to feel of the prickly grass on his feet.  Take a look!
