I have never been a believer in the "terrible two's" I personally believe that every stage in life has its challenges. Benjamin is just one more example of this. He is an athletic, energetic and passionate boy. He is constantly on the move, usually throwing a ball of some kind. Benjamin has a strong opinion that our neighbor's back yard is completely lacking in balls so multiply times a day he is more than happy to share our wealth, generously. Benjamin loves going for rides in the car. I've always asked him if he wanted to go bye bye. Now whenever he sees any minivan he says "it's a bye bye", way too cute I'll tell ya. He is constantly amazing me with his opinions and verbal skills, just today he told me he wanted to wear his orange shoes instead of gray "I want those ones".
Benjamin is at the wonderful stage of still loving to be held, cuddled and loved on as well as being incredible independent and taking care of himself (if he wants a cup of milk he'll try to pour it himself or bring me a cup and a gallon of milk).
We just love this guy and couldn't imagine our lives without him, he is a wonder.
I final gave in and had my favorite photographer, Rebecca, at the Tacoma JCPenny's take Benjamin's pictures she did great especially since he started out incredibly shy and then was seriously silly and wouldn't hold still a second.

These pictures are adorable! I especially love the one of him kicking the ball! It is so him, that is just made me giggle! What a cutie!
Olivia was biting Ben last Sunday. Sorry about that. Ben didn't seem to care though.
Thanks, Angela. And the biting it isn't any different than he's done himself. With all the beat downs he gives his siblings I'm sure he had it coming.
Too cute Amanda! I LOVE the picture of him kicking the ball. And that red hair! I would love to have a kid with that beautiful color of hair!
