Pray for Owen & Addison!

Please keep Addison and Owen in your thoughts today! Addison underwent surgery today to have her tear duct opened and Owen is at the hospital for an observation after a high fever and scare last night. I'm thinking of you, buddies!!

Chasing Ben or Chasing Arrows?

Saturday I went to the Ashburn Village festival with Amanda and Mommy. There were tons of rides...

And great people watching. (I couldn't help but gawk)

The main event was seeing the band Chasing Arrows. Miss Amanda's brother, Graham, is the lead singer and was awesome!!

Thanks Amanda for a great time
(and sorry I pulled your earrings all night).

Happy Friday!

Sit N Spin

I learned this trick from my buddy Owen!!

Birthday Celebration

Here are a few pictures from my birthday party yesterday afternoon. Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes!!!

Have I told you that I loved balloons or what?!

Don't let this face fool you- I had a WONDERFUL time today. I just didn't enjoy wearing this party hat. Who could blame me though when all that was on my mind were these CUPCAKES!

Me waiting for my cake while everyone sang Happy Birthday!

While I didn't like the cake at first, I REALLY enjoyed eating every last morsel. DeLISH!

I am so spoiled- look at all these fun presents. Ummmm, did Mommy buy me a BABY DOLL for my birthday? Daddy wasn't to thrilled about that one!

The real present from Mommy & Daddy was this Radio Flyer Wagon. Here I am taking a stroll today with my new giraffe friend (the baby can wait at home!!)

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Big Boy Ben

For those of you astute readers you will notice I've updated the title of my blog - Since I'm approaching the big ONE I've decided this can no longer be classified as Ben's Baby Blog.


The past year has been quite an adventure. In the past few weeks I've mastered cruising, climbing the stairs, waving and saying 'bye' and 'up', and turning on the lights. I've also learned to sign 'more', 'milk', 'all done' and 'water', drink my milk from a sippy cup, and attained the ever-so-desirable Temper Tantrum (we're working on that one). I am looking forward to becoming a BIG BROTHER and thank you for your continued reading and support!!
