One Year Old!

Mike Wazowski! - March
As you can imagine, many changes have taken place since our last blog update. Ben has gone from rolling to walking, and has grown eight pounds and eight-and-a-half inches. He celebrated his first birthday last Friday, and looking back at photos taken over the last nine months, we tried to choose a few to illustrate his growth from then to now.

After-lunch nap - May


Cheering Yasiel Puig - June



























First time standing in crib - August



Sequoia National Park - July



Flying in the Cessna - September

He now has enough hair to qualify for his first haircut -- maybe this month. Mom's having a hard time with the idea. He had a lion's mane for Halloween, however. Katie made most of the family's costumes herself.

Development milestones -- crawling, walking, talking, etc. -- continue to roll by, and Ben seems adept at figuring new things out. He helps pick up his toys, brings objects on command, and he enjoys sliding down his new slide by himself too.

We're excited to fly back to Wyoming for Christmas so the family can see all these new developments, and we look forward to another year of growth ahead!
