TWO!!!

Here is the long overdue birthday post:

Benjamin turned two yesterday. I can't believe it's been two years since he joined our family! He is the most handsome boy and we are in awe every day of his charm and sweetness. Of course, with the sweetness comes bouts of frustration at not being understood, but we'll take it all!! He fits perfectly into our family. Happy Birthday, Benj!! We love you!!

Benjamin:

*Is ALL boy

*Loves balls, and every sport that Max is interested in!

*Loves chocolate milk, see-dough (cereal), and gogurts (he would eat nothing else if we let him).

*Doesn't walk, he runs. Everywhere.

*Loves to jump on the trampoline

*Wants to do everything like his sister, and gets very frustrated if he can't.

*Is VERY coordinated. He can ride the coaster car down a steep driveway, maneuver it around any obstacles and turn it with no problem. He does all of this with a look in his eye that says, "That's right, I know I'm good".

*Still loves his pacifier and blanket. We limit them to nap and bed times...and make the occasional exception...I know, we're softies. :)
*Has A LOT of enthusiasm.

*Loves his Daddy. The first words out of his mouth in the morning are, "Daddy, work?"

*Loves "Buzz"

*LOVES ketchup. I actually think this is his first food of choice... if you consider ketchup a food.

*Attempts to dress himself but still doesn't understand that his shirt isn't supposed to be worn over his legs.

*Like to express himself in a high pitched scream when he doesn't get what he wants. We know, this too shall pass.

*Is learning to talk very well.

*Is still pretty small in stature, but he doesn't let that get in his way.

*Is my favorite boy, little man, Benjamin boo. I can not express enough how deep my love runs for him.

Happy 2nd Birthday, buddy!!!
