A Benjamin Feast

Sometimes I feel like Benjamin gets left out of a lot of my blogging, so I thought it would be fun to just post a few pictures of him!

Of course the classic bathtub scene - I probably have a hundred of these of Tanner as a baby - poor second children!!


Benjamin and his Grandma Great.


Benjamin and Daddy during the Easter egg hunt.


I love this face. He puts up with a lot of craziness and smothering from Tanner - I'm always afraid Tanner is hurting him or being too rough. But I'm always amazed. Benjamin never complains about it no matter how rough he can get - in fact he absolutely loves every minute of it!!


Benjamin adores his big brother!


Benjamin trying to ride the horse with grandpa!




Benjamin's very first ride in a swing! It just happens to also be the exact same swing that Tanner first rode in! We stopped at our favorite park in Orem one day after a Target run . . . . nostalgic!


Sporting his handsome new (and very needed I might add) haircut!!




Just cute - trying to get better at eating food and drinking from a sippy cup.


So I HAD to get Benjamin this Jumperoo. Our friend had one and I put Benny in it one day and was amazed! It was fun to see his progress since I had last put him in something like this. Needless to say, I'm a sucker for buying things that I think will help him. He loves it! Its nice to have something to put him in where he can be vertical on his own! He's becoming quite the bouncer - anything to get him to put weight on his legs.




Cute cute cute! Thats all I can say about our bundle of Benjamin joy! He is just so cute and fun and making progress everyday.

He is SO adorable! I can't wait to see him in a few months. And that jumperoo is so cool. Looks like fun! :)

I love his chubby cheeks! What a cute kid. Speaking in behalf of all 2nd children, don't forget about us... the poor 2nd child... we want justice! We want to live as an individual not under the shadow of the 1st child. Ha ha ha!

I think my favorite things about benny are his little sausage fingers..and watching him manuver them....I think he gets them from his dad!

I think I'm going to have to get something like that...but where do I put it?? Anyway, we just love that kiddo--such a sweetheart! And Tanner's an awesome big bro.

i've heard how cool those jumperoos are...i may invest later on. Benny is certainly a cutie. looks like he is totally content most of the time- just taking it all in. sweet.

Cute boys Rachel! Aren't they so much fun and so much work? No matter what they do, at the end of the day I can't help but think how lucky I am to have 2 cute boys and I know you feel the same. We should really try to get together sometime!

What cute little boys! It does get really hard with each child. How do we keep up with it all?

Hey! Somehow I lost your blog address while changing my background and have now just found you again! I have updated myself on your posts & must say, I too have to get out at least every other day! I am SO NOT a home body. :) I'm glad I could catch up & hope you're doing well!
