Bennett's First Birthday!

I can not believe, yet totally believe, he's ONE already. I just had no idea going into this whole thing that I could love a little human so dang much! I feel beyond grateful that I get to be his mom, this past year has been THE hardest thing I've ever done, yet so so so so so (you get the point) rewarding/wonderful/full of love/and other mushy-lovey words.

Bennett, I'm totally biased, but you're just the best. You are so funny lately, I find myself laughing to the point of crying sometimes. Your birthday stats.... 22 lbs, 30 1/2 inches tall, you have 2 teeth up top and 3 on bottom, you're pulling up and cruising along the furniture, but no steps on your own yet.

Your favorites..
opening and shutting the toilet seat, watching the washer/dryer when it runs, "uh" and pointing at Dakota, catching and throwing your little basketball, seeing how many things you can pick up in one hand, clapping, waving and food, son, you can eat.

Here are a few photos from your first birthday party!

 and just a few from your first haircut!! 

 

 

Such a handsome little boy. Bennett, we love you so terribly much, and can't wait to see how much you'll grow this next year!
