'The Dude' at 10 Months

I'm not sure if I have ever wrote on here how the name 'The Dude' came about for Bennett. Ben automatically started calling him 'The Dude' when he was first born; from the movie the Big Lebowski. Ben always jokes how he could see Bennett with a robe on, carrying a white russian, acting oh so chill... ha, I don't think so honey... this baby has a few more years before we introduce one of those. Maybe it was his love for Mommy's milk and ALWAYS having to be fed. Who knows. Anyway, this name has stuck and Bennett will even answer to it ;). Basically our WHOLE family on both sides calls him 'The Dude'. Daddy swears that he will be called this forever... while Mommy prefers Bennett or Baby, as Arrington likes to call him. 

Anyway, cheers to The Dude's 10 month birthday, which was on February 20th.
 In about 20 more years we will cheers you with a white russian in honor of your nickname ;).

Not sure how much he weights, but I'm thinking around 21 lbs.

hugs me every morning when I first pick him up out of his crib... this melts me! Arrington still does this!

has some sort of obsession with biting his Mommy on the shoulder. If you look at my right shoulder at any given day you are sure to see it covered with bruises. If any one knows how to stop this please tell! 

All in all our dude is one happy-go-lucky lovable little bulldozer of a boy! 

We LOVE you sweet boy more than you can imagine... to the moon and back... forever and ever!
