Happy First Birthday Ben!

Today our baby turns one. He is such a joy. He is walking all over, eating everything, and into everything. Still holding at 8 teeth and loves the phone. He loves to play with it and the camera. I wish he would find a little less expensive toys to play with. :) We enjoyed our day with Great Grandma and Papa Fraser (my grandparents) and then i took Ben for his one year check up. He weighted in at 22 and a half pounds, 50 %, and was 30 1/4 inches tall, 90%. He is a tall one. She said he looked great. Double checked his hips because of the breach birth but they look good. Four shots and he was a crier today. We moved on quickly. I guess i thought he would forget the finger prick and shots if we got out of the room. Got Ella and came home from school. Gave him his gift, a toy phone. He loved it.

Eric caught him a fish, had a great dinner and then.... another ice cream cake. This makes 4 in one month. Ben had his own. He loved it until his little fingers froze. (that is what happens when Daddy picks out a cake :))

Since we had company we shuffled the kids around and for Benji's birthday he is having his first sleepover. He is in his play pen in Ella's room and the boys are in their sleeping bags on the floor. He has been a great baby. We are very proud to call him ours and can't wait to see what the future holds for him. He is the baby that wasn't supposed to be, the one that wasn't there. He is our miracle. :)
