9 Months

Bennett turned 9 months on January 20th. We had such a fun day on baby boy's mini monthly birthday! We took a trip to the park, which included a picnic with Daddy, lots of play time, and a trip to see the horses at the park.

 This boy LOVES the swings and will laugh the whole time

 Running to go meet Daddy! She was SO excited to see her knight and shining Daddy ;)

Bennett is getting so BIG and now into the more active stages. Bennett is crawling like a pro and all over the place... trying to keep up with sister ;). It seems as though he is doing something new daily! We are enjoying every moment with our precious angel boy, since we know that they grow at a speeding rate.
Please slow down, babies of mine!

 One Happy Dude!

Bennett's 9 month check up went wonderfully! He is growing perfectly and hitting all his milestones at the right time! 

'The Dude'

19 lbs. 1 oz.

27 inches long

size 3 diaper

9 month and 12 month clothing

size 2 shoe

WE HAVE A CRAWLER! 

Bennett is crawling everywhere, and acts as if he's been doing it all his baby life ;)... he had plenty of practice with all that army crawling of his

Says Mama!!! 

actually uses it in the right context... usually says it when he wants something, when he wants to get my attention, or when he's crying

other new words:  "Baba" and "uh-oh"

loves to babble and talk to whomever

Goes from a crawling position to sitting

pulling up on everything! 

This child will actually pull down my pants while trying to pull up on my leg

has two adorable lil' baby toofers on the bottom

better watch out because he'll get you with them ;)

we finally had to lower his crib, since he now stands in it

one strong lil' man... 

I can't believe the strength this child has... it's almost impossible to take something away from him, without feeling like your going to rip his hand off

chases after Arrington everywhere she goes

I'm afraid he's going to terrorize Big Sister and will soon be around the same size. I'm sure the question of if I had twins is in our near future

Splashes and Splashes in the bathtub. 

If Arrington and Bennett are fighting over something and she gets it, he gets her back with BIG splashes in the face 

Loves, loves, loves to give sweet open-mouthed baby kisses

We LOVE them as well

cruising around with the family in his new big boy carseat! 

loves to dancy-dance... pretty adorable if you ask me

such a mama's boy... and I love it ;)

sleeps from 8:00 - 7 or 7:30 ish

2 naps a day

I have turned the reigns over to Bennett when it comes to table food...

this boy does not need or want any help

Pretty much one perfect Lil' Man in Dada, Momma, and Big Sister's eyes! 
We love you more than imaginable Dude! We can't wait for the plans God has in store for our Baby Angel!
