Valentines Day 2012

Bennett had a play date with his friend Brennan on Valentines Day!  They played with toys, rode on around on their Dad's shoulders and both puked on the carpet.  Good times! 

One tooth

It isn't the best picture, but he doesn't really like to stay still while we try to look in his mouth.  Bennett has one tooth with another close behind!

First Christmas

We had lots of fun with Bennett over the holidays.  We spent Christmas Eve in Saginaw with the Gardners and Sarosis and then Christmas in Chelsea with the Niehaus' and Gobles.  Bennett didn't really understand what was going on too much but would try to grab at the paper a little bit to help unwrap his gifts.  He got lots of fun gifts...clothes, a sled, a xylophone, a farm tractor, a giggling pig, Scout the talking dog, some toy musical instruments and many other fun things.  It was a great christmas with lots of quality family time.  Here are a few pictures...I might have gone a bit crazy playing with the photo editing features in Picasa - there are so many cool things you can do to pictures! 

Teeth?

Bennett has been having a hard time sleeping recently and has also been unusually whiny too. This behavior very uncharacteristic of him. We think this is due to some teeth making an appearance for the first time.. I'm not a dentist, but those two white things look like teeth to me.

Bennett and Santa

Bennett met Santa for the first time. He was not so sure about this big guy in a red suit. However, we were able to get a couple photos without any tears (no smiles though). He decided to wear his Motley Crue t-shirt for this special occasion. Rock on, Bennett, Mom and Dad love you!

Another picture

Here is another picture I found that I like a lot. Love his eyelashes :)

Recent Pictures

Sooo...it looks like the last time we posted on here was back in October and here it is December and Bennett is coming up on his 7 month birthday - wow!!  It has been a busy few months with Halloween, a family wedding, a vacation, Thanksgiving and now we are getting close to Christmas. I will eventually get to the monthly posts, but here are a collection of my favorite pictures from the last few months.
