Happy Six Months Old!!!

Not that long ago it was just Mommy and Daddy awaiting a very special arrival...











We were blessed with a gorgeous baby boy! It seems like yesterday when we first held you in our arms... our little Benjamin Burrito...

Now, our sweet boy is SIX MONTHS old...if only I could stop time!

He is learning new things each and every day and is so full of personality! What an amazing experience this has been and we can only imagine how much more wonderful each new month will be. We love you baby Benjamin!

How could you not want to eat this face?????

I love feasting on my beautiful boy's cheeks every day! It is THE sweetest baby sugar in the whole world!!!

First Father's Day


Shhhh..don't tell Dadda we're making him a very special first Father's Day card with ten reasons (one for every little Benjamin toe) why we love him!

It was a wonderful first Father's Day for Dadda. His chest swelled with pride (and a big heart full of love) over his two beautiful boys. Benjamin (and Stanford too) has brought us such amazing joy!

Mama and Benjamin prepared a special breakfast in bed for Dadda and sang him a special Happy Father's Day song.
WE LOVE YOU DADDA!!!

Practicing for the Adirondacks :)

Benjamin is helping Mommy pack for the family's trip to the mountains and beautiful 4th Lake! Only a few more weeks til the fun begins. Thanks for the warm shoes and hat Gwamma!! :)

Best Buds

Big brother Stanford sure loves his little brother Benjamin (and vice versa!)
When little B starts to move the adventures will begin... :)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame...


Mommy and Daddy enjoyed introducing their little B to his very first baseball game - Go Bulls!!
Benjamin was enthralled by all of the activity on the field and loved all of the music and lights...until a big cheer burst from the crowd! That was a little too unexpected!

But after a few beautiful alligator tears and big hugs and kisses from Mama and Dadda, Benjamin was ready to sing and dance for his seventh inning stretch (and we're pretty sure he is still wondering when he gets his beer and hotdog!).
Sam and I are having the time of our lives introducing our sweet Benjamin to all of life's delights. This is what we dreamed about!
Phew, that was a lot of fun! Now I'm spent!!

Future Prom Date?!?!

We loved meeting little Ms. Ella and her big brother and sister (and Mommy and Daddy too!). Thank you for coming to visit us while you were in Raleigh.
It's already been arranged...Benjamin has his first prom date with the beauty Ms. Ella (an older woman nonetheless!! :))
We hope to see everyone again soon!
