Happy 1 Year, Bennett!

- wear mostly 12 month clothes. 

- are into everything. Goodness gracious, you're a busy little boy. You've gone from walking to running. You try to get into every cabinet, on top of anything you can climb, under anything you'll fit...

- are a tough cookie. Sometimes, you'll fall or run into something and I'll just wait for the tears. But they don't come. You just get up and keep going. 

- have the cutest, most mischeivious little grin. Oh, what a stinker you are...but such a cute stinker. 

- like Zaxby's toast, like your sister. 

- are waking up once at night still. Occasionally, you'll make it all night, but it's not because we've done anything differently. I'm just hoping that works itself out soon. You're starving most nights when you wake up, so I hate not to feed you. And you do go back to sleep quickly, so I know it could be worse. 

- take two one hour naps at daycare. Some days, you could still use a catnap around 5, but I try not to let you get that one, so you'll be ready for bedtime!! 

- hate bedtime. You can be so, so sleepy, but when I take you in your room to get you to sleep, you get so fired up and want to go back out. 

- drive anything you can. When we ask you what the dump truck says, you make the "brrrmmm" noise.

- will hold up your finger to show us you're "one." 

- are finally okay with wearing shoes. I was a little worried at first. We got you some Nike tennis shoes, and you are so proud of them. I don't know what about them is different to you, but the first time you wore them, you just looked at them and grinned every time. 

- have all three of us wrapped around your little finger. We think every thing you do is so funny, so cute, so sweet. How this year has passed so quickly, I'll never know. Baby boy, you've brought so much joy and happiness to our family and we thank God every day that he sent you to us.
