My Baby is Walking!!!

It is official, early this last week Bennett started walking. It was about 3 days before he turned 11 months, when he really started walking several steps. Now that it has been a few days, Bennett is initiating walking on his own and doesn't even need us to prop and encourage him. AHHHHHHHH Scary! Here comes trouble and even more work!

At 11 months Bennett....

*Walks

*Says Uh-OH (I am loving it when he throws his food of his tray and then says "UH-OH", yeah like that was an accident)

*Says Mom and Dad (he walks around and says "mom mom mom mom mom" until he is acknowledged)

*Is eating most table foods

*Points his finger

*Loves to be outside, and loves to eat everything outside, including rocks, grass, dirt

*Gets into trouble constantly

*Loves to open cupboards, pan drawers and pull everything out.

It is crazy to think that in one more month Bennett will be 1. It makes me so sad to think that my baby is growing up and becoming a toddler. If I had the option I would keep him a baby forever!

Easter!!!

So we had a wonderful Easter. The Easter bunny decided to come while the boys were taking there afternoon nap. They both did very well finding the eggs, and we all ate way too much candy.

Bennett discovered very quickly how to open the eggs. We haven't given him very many sweets yet, but he quickly decided that he LOVES candy!

My handsome boys in the Easter outfits!

We dyed eggs.

Jax loved dying easter eggs and liked to put stickers on them. He was so proud of his eggs!

Bennett just liked sucking on the eggs! Hopefully the dye really is non-toxic like it says!

Our eggs. I love how Bennett's mouth is blue from sucking on an egg!

We had an Easter egg hunt the day before with the DeVries cousins.

Bennett was thrilled with his find. After finding this egg he didn't care about any other eggs.

My boys love being with their cousins.

Jax actually gave the older cousins a run for their money. He found 12 eggs.

We had such a great Easter weekend. It was so fun spending time with family, and spoiling our kids.

Recent Happenings

My boys love their bath time. They are so funny to watch they now think it is funny to gang up on mom and splash her. They are really quite the team!

Bennett has learned from the best and holds his own, when it comes to splashing!

This is me after bath time! I am always soaking wet.

Bennett is getting so big. He can now stand on his own for pretty much as long as he wants to. And it is official he took his first steps on April 25. He will still only take one or two steps and then he sits down and crawls to where he wants to go. Hopefully a video of him walking will be coming soon (that is if we can catch it!).

Jax has been in a big boy bed for quite some time now. Recently he has started sneaking out of his bed, along with his pillow pet, and trying to sleep in the hall. We discovered that he only does this when we forget to leave the hall light or bathroom light on. It made me giggle!
