Kangaroos

Gabe getting off the kangaroos at Kennywood: I had alot of screams in my mouth!

70's child

True story. But if it weren't for GPS I would still be getting lost all the time.

We have a walker!

Benny took his first step thursday. Walked a couple steps froday. More Saturday and even more these last few days. It is amazing seeing him gain a little more balance every day. We got him new shoes yesterday so he can walk around outside.  He has wide feet unlike his big bro so we had to buy million dollar stride rite 5 wide shoes.  Good thing he is a cutie pie! 

I am still as obsessed as ever with Tu las.  I am constantly buying and selling them and even started to try other brands.  I have tried kinde rpacks but don't really like them. the good thing is they resell for about 150 dollars over what you paid.  Awesome stuff. I love baby carriers.  Benny loves riding in them. He is still my little clinger and I love it.  He is so heavy now but thank fully I can get him on my back now. 

Gabe is obsessednwith being funny.  He is always doing something to get a laugh and th en asks "is that funny?" He is n such a funny kid.  Definitely taking after his daddy.  There has never been a kid more like his dad th en Gabe. We really should have named him Johnny Jr.

Benny loves food more than ever and Gabe still loves cars, trucks, construction equipment, and other vehicles.  We read random educational books and lately we have been reading about structures.  One of the structures n is an oil rig so he pretends he is on the oil rig.

One day

Words

Benny can say mama (first word!) Dada, and thunder! (We sung that all the time.

Attitude

Benny has an ATTITUDE.  He growls when he doesn't get what he wants and is so determined all the time.  He had a will like I've never seen.  He knows what he wants and he wants it now!! We gave this big dude life and he ran with it!!

Mamamamamamamamamama

Benny said his first word!!! Mama!!! He certainly is a mommas boy.  I love it.

Benny the menace

Benny is a fast crawler now and getting into EVERYTHING. He is becoming a challenge and just like Gabe at this age as far as activity goes.  He is the exact opposite though when it comes to eating.  He eats EVERYTHING and absolutely  loves food. He only wants to feed himself though.  If you put some food in his mouth he spits it out.   He wants to do it himself!

He has been bouncing off the walls these few days when Gabe has been sick.  They have been taking each others places.  Gabe is clingy and cuddly, Benny is active and into everything. 

These kids are funny. Always keeping me on my toes.

Babywearing

Carry them close to your heart, for they are little for just a little while. <3

A child may not know what direction he is going but when attached to you he doesn't feel lost

A baby fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty.

The most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children.
