Work has been so busy its hard to update things but I just wanna say first...Happy 1st Birthday Benton!!!! Wow. This time last year we were on our way to the birth center. Imagine. It doesn't seem that long ago and then it does seem a while ago all at the same time. So surreal. We headed to daycare today and I let him loose in the foyer and he walked himself straight to the Toddler 1 room and went in and sat down on their little red couch. So funny. He knew where he wants to go. He'll be fully switching over to Todd1 on April 2nd (monday after Estrella) so he can adjust well. He'll be spending some hours there for the next few days but we have to get him fully on milk before he goes. He's doing okay now and will even drink his milk/formula mix out of a sippy cup with out an issue so over the weekend I hope to get him completely on milk so its easy for Estrella.

So proud of him. It was picture day at daycare yesterday and he looked so grown up in his stripey polo shirt (Atenveldt colors btw). Can't wait to see the pictures. The last set turned out just awesome. I'm going to have to update the "benton" picture on my lj...he's so little in that one.


So, here he is just born:

Awwww!! Look at how big he is! He's absolutely adorable, and I've loved reading about his adventures growing up in the past year. Happy birthday, Benton!

Argh, so much cute! Brain melting!

I can't get enough of that third picture. It kills me!

I know...I'm the worst mom ever for loving it but every person I show it to, including his maternal grandmother thinks it's a hoot.

The guy we got the hat from said he didn't look "irish" enough and I was like he's at least a 1/4 Irish if not more...lol.
