BenJAMin

Who doesn't love a frozen corndog every now and then? Ben refused to let me cook it. He ate a good chunk of it before he'd let me throw it in the oven.

I love this little guy and his major personality. Seriously adore him! He made me a mom which is all I've ever wanted to be. He is absolutely one of my best accomplishments. He makes me laugh, he has been asking for grits everymorning for breakfast. In fact he had them for breakfast AND dinner last Friday. He's been sick so we, well I, give in to his every whim. At 7:00 Saturday morning when he was demanding pizza, I put on my slippers and bathrobe to go grab a frozen pizza from the garage freezer. Dinner that night??? Well grits of course. He is growing so fast. I look at him like a little boy instead of a toddler now which makes me so sad. He was born to be his own little man. I never knew love til I held him in my arms for the first time (all 3 lbs of him). Such a fighter. There is a strong spirit in this tiny, beautiful body. I pray I can teach him the things of life that matter. Principals of the gospel, be a hard worker, be kind, be faithful, and be loving, and how to be a great brother.

Cole's 1st haircut

Sweet baby Cole got his first hair cut. He had such long hair. I'm talking a good 4-5 inches. Unfortunately, it wasn't very even. This first picture is what his hair would look like even when I'd wet it and comb it. I've seen old men with toupees that looked very similar. So I decided it was time for a snip. I took some "before and after's". What do you think? He's gotten quite blonde too. Maybe he will look a little like me after all?!? :) Okay, maybe not. Cal calls him "Ben 2.0 (two-point-oh)" Apparently I only know one pattern.
