My baby is 1...

I can't believe how fast this past year has gone. Even though it seems as though it was yesterday that I was about to have Benjamin I can't remember life without him in our family. He (as crabby as he is so much of the time) is so cute and I am so happy to be his mom. Benjamin loves his siblings and I am excited for him to be a bigger boy so they can all cause havok together. He has recently started to wrestle with Joshua. Those two already seem to have a special bond which makes me so thrilled. So, though there aren't a ton of fun personality traits to write about for our 1 year old, we do have a ton of pics. I decided to post a few of his first few weeks and some of his birthday today.
Finally here...

Going home...

This is the only time this ever really happened... happened to catch it during one of our middle of the night bonding times.


So peaceful...




The blessing


Ben's cake (the one he gets for himself)


Ben's animal is a monkey (we pick one out for each kid when they are born)... here is his birthday cake I spend hours on today.


Happy Birthday, Baby Ben!!! We love you!!!
