First Visit From The Easter Bunny!

Well we are back from an eventful weekend in Wichita! Benjamin continued to improve walking behind his little toy! He got to visit both sets of grandparents and Great Grandma Winkelman! We went to church for Easter, had a great breakfast and then Benjamin opened his Easter basket. Look at some of my fun pics from the weekend!

Look at my new tailgate chair from Nana and Grandpa!

Starting To Cruise!!!

Benjamin has had some big events these past couple of days. Saturday was another session of swim lessons and he is doing great! He started kicking and went completely under water! Then on Sunday Luke, Benjamin and I did the trolley walk with Lindsey, Bobby and Baby Owen! Both boys were such troopers and were great after the walk while we all had some breakfast! Then last night was a big night for Benjamin! He started walking behind his little walker! Luke and I were laughing so hard because he basically started running and then "crashed". Tonight he drastically improved by simply walking behind his toy! Benjamin also started eating more "table" food because he thinks that he is going on 5 years old and does not want help eating, so we have started cutting more stuff up and he gums it since he still has no teeth! Other than that we are just having a blast seeing all of the new things that the little guy does each and every day!!!

Here is the little guy cruising!

Loving The Outdoors!

Well sorry it has been so long since we have last posted; things at our household have been a little busy lately! Benjamin continues to amaze us each day with all of the new things he continues to do. He has been talking like crazy and has successfully said "mama" and "dada"! Benjamin started feeding himself finger foods and absolutely loves puffs and it does not matter what flavor they are! He continues to be fascinated with Aspen and thankfully Aspen just lets him pull on her ears and tail and anything he can get a hold of! Benjamin is a huge lover of the outdoors and loves going on walks each night after we get home and loves to sit on a blanket and play outside! He had his first swim lessons a few weeks ago and today he was kicking up a storm. So needless to say, Benjamin has kept us busy lately, but we are enjoying every minute of it!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Well these past couple of weeks have been busy! Daddy was out of town for a conference and mommy has been super busy with work, but we still find lots of time to play and have fun! It has been so nice lately where we have been able to go for walks after we get home and I have really started to like the swing at the park! Other than that we have just been hanging out and playing around the house!

Moving Around!

Well I have officially mastered the skill of sitting up and now I am onto my next mission....crawling! Today I figured out how to scoot around and even got myself stuck between a couple pieces of furniture! Other than that I have been playing with toys and talking lots! Here are some recent pics!

Happy 6 Months Today!!!

First of all Happy 2011! It has been a while since mommy updated you all! Today I turned 6 months!!! It is hard to believe how fast time goes when you are having fun! I went for my 6 month checkup on Friday and I weighed 20 pounds and 14 ounces (94th percentile) and I was 28 inches long (91st percentile)! Needless to say I am getting a little heavy to hold for very long. I am a rockstar at sleeping; I basically sleep 7 pm to 7 am! I am sitting up now and playing with all of my toys. I like story time with anyone who will read me a book! I love my bath time...it is so relaxing right before bedtime! I have found my voicebox and I love to use it...even during church when I am supposed to be quiet! I am eating sweet potatoes, pears, apples, and rice cereal. This week mommy and daddy are going to try to give me some bananas! I have liked everything I have tried thus far!

These past two weekends I have been lucky to see my Aunt Eileen, Uncle Paul, Cousin Dolan, Memo, and PaPa. Memo came and stayed with me this weekend and mommy and daddy were able to go out to dinner without me :) I loved playing with my cousin Dolan...he is quite the mover, but I love to be able to watch him!

Looking forward to a relaxing week and hopefully no more snow...I don't like sitting in the car longer than I have to on my way to daycare!!!

Happy New Year!

Christmas at Nana and Grandpa's House!

Well this past week and a half have been a lot of fun! At daycare we made stockings and I made my first present for mommy and daddy! It was an ornament of my hand...something they will be able to keep forever! During Christmas week we went back to Wichita on Tuesday and hung out until Sunday at Nana and Grandpa's house. I was very good all week; I tried applesauce for the first time and I loved it! I took great naps and slept through the night every night even in a different bed! I got to see Memo and PaPa and I got to meet some of daddy's cousins. I got to see Great Grandma and Great Grandma Winkelman and Great Grandma Barb and Great Grandpa Hump! I was a rockstar during Christmas Eve mass! I was quite spoiled on Chritmas morning...I got lots of new toys, clothes and books! My aunt Jamie and Katie got me the coolest personlized Pirate book, but overall I think that I really enjoyed the sound of the wrapping paper! I also got to see my friend Charlotte, and mommy and daddy got to visit with Emily and Steve! It was very nice of them to stop by when they were in town! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and may the New Year bring you only the best!
