9 Months

We've had another wonderful month! I love every stage Benson goes through. I keep thinking the one we're in is the best and then something changes and it gets even better! I hope I always feel that way. Here are his stats...
-weight 24.4 lbs
-length 29.5 in
-he's a pretty big baby!
-loves to be chased
-is such a tease
-loves to pull my hair
-eats only solid food or a bottle
-can stand without holding on to anything
-when we walk with him he would rather jump along
-still has only two teeth, but it looks like his canine are coming soon
-smiles and flirts with everyone

Can you see those chunky thighs? Oh they are so much fun!!

Here's a video of him walking/jumping. (I don't know how to turn it sideways so just turn your head, sorry)

Utah Trip

We were up in Utah for a family reunion but also got to spend a day before and a couple after enjoying northern Utah. I love Utah! I realize I was born there but it really is a great place! We got to see more family and a few friends. There is never enough time to see everyone!

The Wilkinson's and us. They were dear friends here in Corpus and moved to Oregon

Bear Lake 2011

Every year we have a family reunion up at Bear Lake, in northern Utah. We really look forward to this trip every year! Bens did great on the plane rides and it was so wonderful to be with family!!!





Here's the A B C babies (Adalaide, Benson and Calvin). They weren't too happy to get their pictures taken. And it's a tradition to have the babies take baths together, so fun!




We also love that it's up there because our little William is buried up in Laketown.
