8 Months

Photobucket">

My sweet boy is 8 months old today!!! 

As Ben gets older I have more and more fun with this little boy!! I wouldn't say he is a mamma's boy, but if his daddy was home every single day he would defiantly be a daddy's boy, he has the best smile when Ryus walks in the door, he loves his daddy.

I speculate Ben is about 2 weeks away from crawling, he is so close...he kind of does the butt in the air thing and then pushes off with his feet!!!

He is sleeping much better now, which I am greatful for. I just let him do his own thing and I just make sure he is on a good bedtime routine!!!

Ben tries to copy everything we do now and it is so funny...my favorite is when I close my eyes and open them really quick he tries to do it and it cracks me up...FUNNY BOY!!!

Ben loves his sippy cup with water...and only water. He hates to try new foods and never trusts me in the mornings when I first feed him, he always looks at me first opens his mouth 1/2 open and then makes sure he likes it before he opens his mouth all the way. WEIRD! He loves the video camera and knows when its on and will just stare at it, and will not do what ever I am filming him for....stinker! He is starting to like more and more people and quit having a thing for only Blonde's, he has now been much more accepting to brunettes. 

He is water dog in the pool and only says mamma when he wants something. Ben has the best hand eye coordination, he can pick up any thing and points at the smallest things. His favorite song is patty cake and itsy bitsy spider, and he is very close to clapping when you sing patty cake. He also loves to dance!!!

My monster child is 19lbs and I can barely carry him in his car seat anymore, I try not to when ever possible, but I hate taking him in and out of the Jeep.

I am finding that my child is the bully child and steals everything away from any other children...like his cousin AJ's pacifier. Never has Ben been a pacifier baby and hates when I give him one, but he loves AJ's.

Last but not least...Ben shakes his head no over and over again and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. All i have to do his tell him to get crazy and he does it, it makes me smile every time.

HAPPY 8 MONTHS!!!!

My motorcycle jumping HuBBy

Ben and I went out to watch Ryus jump at the Blanco track! I just loved watching him do this...it is so SEXY!!! Rarrrrr! Anyways...Ryus is AMAZING at this, he is also one hill climbing machine!! Ryus loves to be on his bike...hence that is why he has 3 of them! Do you think I have 3 of any thing?kidding!! I am a huge supporter of Ryus and his dirtbikes, he has such a love for them, he already talks about when we can get Ben on one!!! Oh...and that we are only having boys, no girls. Hay...girls can ride bikes too...I will prove this to him very soon!!

Swimming

Ryus and I, my brother Jake and Rochell and Chad took our boys to the aquatic center on Saturday. The boys did so good, they went down the slide and they were not afraid to be dunked!! The pictures did not turn out very good, but atleast we have some for memories!!!! It was a GOOD TIME!!! Bring on SUMMER!! PLEASE!!

Trying to be CReaTiVe

So I have been wanting some cool hats for Ben, but I am refusing to pay $30 for them. SO....I thought I could make them, I downloaded a pattern for a cool hat with a brim on it and try ed...i failed miserably! 

So....the next best thing is to take the yarn to my master crocheting step mom and have her do it for me! It turned out pretty cute! I am begging her to make a brown one for Ben!!!

What am I thinking that I can do this kind of stuff, its hard, especially when its a pattern written in some kind of babble that I am sup post to know..

Curious Case of Benjamin Finch

I only named this blog that because I watched that movie this weekend and I LOVED IT! Benjamin was such a kind man, i just loved his character and demeanor. I had also watched 7 pounds and Will Smiths name in this movie was Ben also. WHAT A GOOD NAME, because Will's character in this movie was also a great man. I just hope my Ben is as kind hearted as these movie characters named Ben....

Cousins

This is Ben and AJ, my brothers youngest son, they are 2 months apart!!!! Aj is such a sweetie, I just love his smile, which is very rare that I did not get one in these photos!
