Scrub A Dub Dub, There's A Bennett In The Tub

As we finish up 2009, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is excited to welcome 2010. I am still working on organizing the Christmas pictures (there are so many great ones). Hopefully, I will get a post up later this week sharing Bennett's First Christmas. But until then, here are a couple pictures to hold you over until then. Enjoy!

Brrr... he looks so cold.

Go Go Go....

Bennett is on the move and getting into EVERYTHING these days. With that being said, when he sleeps my time is precious. So just a few quick photos to share of our little boy.

I don't have pictures to show but in the last couple days I have found Bennett trying to climb one of the baby gates we have up. I have found him drinking out of the dogs water dish and last but not least we have a play cabinet in the kitchen for Bennett to store all Bennett-friendly items. So while I am in the kitchen he has something fun to do. Earlier this week I found him standing in the cabinet with all of the plastic spoons, measuring cups and toys outside the cabinet.

Santa Baby

Friday afternoon, we took Bennett to visit Santa! We had no expectations since we understand that seeing an old man in a red suit may be scary to a little guy. Needless to say, I am sure someday we will have cute and happy Santa pictures. But for now these are perfect!!!

Who is this guy? Starting to look a bit nervous!

"I want books, a Tonka truck and blocks..."

And the tears begin...

"Where's my mommy and Daddy?"

Happy Thanksgiving

Here are a few pictures from Bennett's First Thanksgiving. Although Bennett slept through the Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, we luckily had a thanksgiving leftover get together on Saturday with the Peelle family. He enjoyed some turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie. Grandma Peelle even spoiled Bennett with a few bites of ice cream.

Some of the Peelle family and all of the food! We don't get to see the Peelle side very often so it was great that we were able to get together and enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers with them. Seeing everyone interact with Bennett, reminded us how thankful we are to have such wonderful family and friends.

Bennett is enjoying his dinner (playing with it). Typically if the food is messy Graham or I fed him. He does really well with finger food, so we thought it would be fun to see if he could spoon-fed himself. I don't think much ended up in his belly but rather on his face, belly and tray!

Thanksgiving weekend was busy with family and friends. On Sunday we lounged around the house in our pjs. Every now and then you need those lazy days. Above is a picture of Bennett and Bailey. These two are best buddies. Now that Bennett is crawling (forward) he is constantly trying to pet Bailey.

We also took advantage of the extra time together and the three of us had family pictures taken. Here are a couple pics, the rest you will receive in the mail as our Christmas Card.

Bennett is changing every day! I can't believe he will be 10-months old in a few days. He keeps us busy, but every moment with him is amazing. He is crawling forward and pulling up to stand. He is also "talking." His first word was "Hi." Occasionally, he will say "Mama" and "Dada," but they aren't always used in proper context. We are looking forward to the holidays and celebrating Bennett's First Christmas. Time goes way too fast and we are trying to savor each day and enjoy every moment to it's fullest. Even the screams and cries!
