10 months

Yesterday Ben was 10 months old, and to celebrate he woke with a snotty nose!!! Poor guy!!! You first birthday is right around the corner and boy do your daddy and I have a WONDERFUL FANTASTIC birthday planned for you, and we don't even care if you won't remember!!! Cause we WILL!!!!

Here are a few things about Ben:

He weighs 20lbs 4oz

Crawls EVERYWHERE

Stands on EEVERYTHING

LOVES avocado's, eggs, cheese, & pasta

LOVES that his daddy is home

LOVES his daddy's wheelchair

LOVES to wave at absolutely EVERYTHING

Can open drawers and cabinets, and has to empty EVERYTHING out of them, I actually don't mind this!! It keeps him busy while I cook!!

Ben has to throw every piece of left over food on the ground when he is finished eating, this really bugs!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when he gives me kisses, and actually gives them when I ask, MY FAVORITE!!!!


*****so my next post is a Ryus update about his legs, so stay tuned!!!!************

Married to Evil Kinevil

So on Monday Ryus decided to jump his motorcycle...



This was the outcome....




We had thought he had broke both legs but greatfully he did not, he still can't stand and we are not sure what exactly is wrong but he is getting better everyday.

Trouble!!! Capital T!!!

This is what I found Ben doing this morning!!! I just laughed and grabbed my camera!!! I LOVE that he is getting into everything, I really am enjoying him at this age. But I know it will only get worse!!!

Old house of Pictures

This last week I took tons of pictures with the family at this old house that had burned down. There were only a handful of walls standing and there happen to be a red wall. IT WAS FAB.U.LOUS!!!! Here are a few of Ben...look on Amber, Savanah and Leah's blog's in the next week or so for their kids photos, LOTS OF FUN!!!

WAS I DREAMING

BEN SLEPT ALL NIGHT LONG LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE!!!! HORRAY FOR HIM AND ME!!!!

For you who have not been following this on facebook, 4 nights ago I decided that I was tired of being tired and that I was going to let Ben CIO (cry it out). So I bucked up and stuck to my guns and he did GREAT. Here's the run down:

Night 1: He woke at 11:30, cryed for 10 minutes went back to sleep. Woke again at 1:00 cryed for 15 minutes went back to sleep. Then woke at 7:00.

Night 2: He woke at 4:30am, cryed for 1 hour and 20 minutes (that was a little hard) and slept until 7:00.

Night 3: I think I heard him once, but it was only a peep and then he slept until 7:00

Last night: I did not hear him once and he slept until 7:00am

I wish I would have done this months ago, but I am glad that this (knock on wood) has worked!!!

Oh and if anyone knows how to fix my post, it wont let me change any of my font anymore, I cant make it bigger or change the color or font style....help...I am tired of having boring font!!!
