How in the world did we get here so quickly?!?
I feel like it was just days ago that I was sending out your birthday invites. But now, here we are, t-minus 8 days until your little self is an entire year old. Oh Bennett, your babyness is quickly slipping through my fingers.
You're now walking, and exploring a whole new world and its almost impossible to stop you. You are a boy on a mission to say the least and I cannot help but want to slow down and soak in your final days as my baby.
Are you a baby still? I don't feel like you are.
You have emotions, wants, likes, dislike...EVERYTHING. It's amazing and so incredible to watch. You shake your head "No" when something is unsatisfactory. You squeal with delight with those expressive eyes of yours when you are filled to the brim with joy. You dance whenever you hear music, ALWAYS! And you show anger when something just doesn't go your way - something we are working on, but a blunt reminder of just how smart and aware you really are.
This past week was so much fun and such a blur. We've really been trying to slow down everything we have going on and it's been so nice being able to sleep in, snuggle, play all day and spontaneously adventure out and about.
Here are some photos from our week:
Mommy made pancakes.
Benny approved!
Didn't wear pants...again.
Played with our buddy Wyatt!
Snuggled out back on 4th of July...such a rare occasion.
Next time this kiddo may be 1!!!
See you then!

What a sweet post and a gorgeous little boy. It's so exciting as they grow and get curious about literally EVERYTHING. Mine is 9 months, and I just love watching her take in the world, touching things (usually in her mouth), getting mobile.. I love it! Visiting you from the Wiegand's linky. Take care!
