Joy to the World

Someone turned 8 months old (on 12/26/11) and recently celebrated his first Christmas!


We had a very busy holiday season but we loved every minute. Benji may not have realized that it was his first Christmas...but everyone else sure did! We had a great time seeing the holidays through his little eyes. I know it will become even more special as he starts to actually understand!

The best part of the holidays, of course, is getting to spend time with our families. This year we spent Thanksgiving with my folks and Christmas with the Bremners, but we were able to take another trip down to NC to see my folks after New Years.

Benji hasn't lacked for people to love him and squeeze him. He ate up the attention and asked for more!

Now that we're back home we're battling some more eczema and teething, but he's still as happy a camper as he ever was. We are tickled when our little scientist does his daily "gravity test." He'll find something to dangle off of the high chair/lap, etc and then he'll watch it fall. Yep....still works! He loves to clap, and he's renewed his interest in his hands. He seems to have discovered that he can move his fingers individually and it facinates him.

I have a feeling he's going to be crawling any day now. My mom says I never crawled, I just went straight to walking. He may do the same as he seems more interested in trying to pull up than he does to crawl. But he may decide to take a bit of a yoga detour first...he keeps getting himself into a "downward dog" position!
