9 to 12 Months

Hey everyone,

Sorry we havent been able to post any new pictures, but i promise to have some up very soon. Well Its been about 3 months and Benjamin has done a lot! Around 9 months he started getting more teeth and has become more active. He was able to stand alone and walking holding onto objects; such as coffee table and couch. 10 months came too quick. He stood alone for the first time and we also found out that we were adding to the family! He later found out that it was indeed a little brother. Benjamin loves to touch my belly and say "baby." Around his 11 months he started taking some steps alone, very scary! Everytime he fell it worried me to death, i thought he would fall on a toy split his head open and or get black eyes. Granite he actually is very stable!



Happy 1st Birthday Benjamin Robert!!

A year has flown by, I remember holding him for the first time and my dad and friends telling me how proud they were the day i gave birth. That day was the best day ever my dad was happy and over joyed about becoming a grandpa (he probably will read this and say to himself wish it had of waited) but everything happens for a reason! Well enough on that back to birthday boy! He turned 1 on August 20, 2009 (Thursday) we enjoyed a night in with friends and family, Dr. Gardiner cooked her speciality pasta and we baked a cake!
> That following Saturday we had his first birthday party (i'll post pictures ASAP) August 22, 2009 all of Ben's friends came to enjoy a cook out and a day at the pool!
>Wednesday- August 26, 2009 we loaded the car and headed to Nana's and Granddaddy's house! Benjamin loves going there he enjoys playing with Zorro (Nana's kitty), but most of all spending time with his Nana and Granddaddy!! There is so much love to go around Ben enjoys it all!!
>Friday- August 28, 2009 we loaded the Van and headed to the Outter Banks to vist the Great Nanny and Great Papa Reid!
>Saturday- August 29, 2009 Aunt Beth came to the obx she was able to spend some time with the family! We enjoyed the chief Papa Reid with deep sea tuna and steak, Nanny cook fabulous vegetables and topped it all off with birthday cakes for Jeff and Benjamin! Happy 50Th birthday Jeff!! We later opened presents and got to play with all the great things! Needless to say we enjoyed our time!

I hope you all enjoy watching Benjamin grow as much as i am, we will keep you updated a little more, but it may get hectic with starting school, but we promise to do a better job! We will have pictures soon.

7-8 Months Old

Hey everyone, sorry we haven't been updating pictures often we have been busy! Well Ben is now 8 months old he is crawling, pulling himself up now and has 4 teeth (kinda). He loves to swim in the pool he takes after his mommy for sure! He's a growing boy! In the past week ben has been swimming and we went to the park for the first time. He enjoyed the swings he giggled and clapped his hands! His new word is "ook" which i'm guessing is "look" because he will say it till you actually look at him and 99% of the time he is actually doing something like climbing the stairs which is a big no no, but he can get up the first four at Andre's townhouse. Well i hope you enjoy the new pictures. I will post more i promise!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!
