Pictures

Will and Ben had their 3 year and 1 year old pictures made a week or 2 ago at Whispers Photography. Ms. Kristin has given me this great pic of the boys for my blog. It was defintely some work getting these guys pictures together! Both my boys are movers!!! I know she had to cut my hand out of several pics. Will keeps asking when we are going back to see Ms. Kristin!

Wild Man!

Ben is moving and shaking things at our house. At his one year check-up they asked if he could stand alone for a few seconds...we laughed and said he can run!!! He is everywhere and fast. Ben is now walking backwards and laughs while doing it.

It amazes me how much they learn so quickly. He is now doing a couple of signs (I have not been as good about teaching them to Ben as I did with Will). Ben is also saying mama, dada, hi and something to the effect of "thank you."

Daddy is going to register him for school next fall. I do have mixed feelings since Will did not attend at this age but think he will do just fine!

Big Boy School

Thanks to Daddy Will is signed up to go to school again next year. Mommy had a hard decision on how many days to send him. She went back and forth and even asked the opinion of Gigi (who taught MWF 3's for a LONG TIME!).... Mommy finally decided to send Will 2 days instead of 3. I guess after being hermits while Will was sick, Mommy would still like an extra day with her boy! Mommy plans on sending him 3 days when he is 4!

We will sign up Ben on Wednesday...mommy will get 2 mornings to herself this fall!

297,000..what???

You read it....Will had 297,000 platelets today at his well check. We are so relieved and grateful. Both boys were healthy and did very well at the doctor's office. Will had his finger pricked and Ben had those nasty shots!

Will was 38 1/2 inches tall (75%) and weighed 38lbs. 7 oz. (95%). It is funny at age 2 he was 90% height and 50% weight.

Ben was 30 1/4 inches tall (68%) and weighed 22lbs 5 oz. (43%) and his head was 50cm which was off the chart (99%)!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Ben!!!

Today Ben is officially one year old at 5:40 pm. His arrival was sooner than we planned but everything worked out ok! I have posted a couple pics of Ben from earlier this year and hope to do more later. (Someone wants to be held right now) We have a little cake just for him to have this evening. Both boys have well checks tomorrow so I will post their stats after we get them.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Daddy's 31st birthday. We had a birthday breakfast of pancakes (at Will's request). Mommy and Daddy are going out to eat tonight to celebrate with some friends and Gigi, Pop, and Uncle Robby are going to babysit. We hope Daddy has a great day and knows that we appreciate everything he does!

The pic is one of our engagement pics...

Ben's Cake!

We had celebrated Ben's first birthday this past weekend also. He was a little overwhelmed with all the family but was fine after a few minutes. Ben was not sure about the cake either...but after a little help from Daddy he got really into it! Here are some pics of Ben enjoying his cake!
