First up, Benjamin's first birthday! I know everyone says the time flies but since this is my baby and probably my last baby I keep thinking of him as small and tiny and he is neither of those things. This is a very big and old baby. In fact, he's been in 18 month clothes for a few months already and wears 24 month clothes in some things. He still refuses to walk (what's up with that?) but we've been forcing him to walk with us more (holding our hands) and he's getting much better at him. I assume he'll be walking by himself with no problem by the end of September. But since both Zara and Adelaide were walking by 10 months, Benjamin just feels needlessly lazy to me since he clearly is sturdy enough. I think he just enjoys being carried everywhere.
Benjamin is typically an incredibly happy child. He loves to laugh and clap and he'll smile at anyone who looks his way. He's a shameless flirt. He loves to screech. Loudly. He LOVES to climb. He loves to sit and spin wheels on anything that has one. He flips over his stroller constantly just so he can spin their wheels.
