Happy First Birthday!

One year ago today Ben was welcomed into our family and we're thankful to the Lord for him!

He had two tries at birthday cake this week. First with Pop & Gran in Brooklet, GA:

Then at our family party here over the weekend:

You might say that the 2nd time was not as much fun - he was over it.

He's scooting around like crazy, doing a few crawls here and there, finally pulling up on things, trying to climb the stairs, saying "no" and "wow", and putting Mommy to the test with some temper tantrums. He loves playing with anything on wheels! His gag reflex is still strong but he has managed to eat a few solids like noodles, peas, carrots and sweet potato pieces - and Cheerios have become a staple! Unfortunately he also caught a cold, so we've been wiping runny noses for a week now. No new teeth that Mommy can see. We go for a 1 year checkup tomorrow!
We've had a busy few weeks and there are many fun photos to post, but with Daddy's birthday only a few days away Mommy has been busy....so stay tuned for more next week!
