Bentley is turning 1!!!



I just wanted to put his little birthday invite on here because we are going to be celebrating Bentley's first birthday. I can't believe that a year has come and gone. We are so blessed to have such a healthy little boy that brings so much joy to our lives.

Some of the things that Bentley is currently doing:
*Clap Clap Clapping his hands! He does this on que you will ask him and then he gets this big grin (like he is so proud he can do something we ask) and then starts clapping away.
*Waving bye bye or hello. He does this as well when you say Bentley say Bye then he does its the cutest thing ever.
*When I go to put his shoes and socks on he will put his right foot up then his left so that I can put them on.
*He gives High Fives too!
*Cries when we leave the room.
*Eats so much food! I can't believe what my lil chunk can put away. He eats everything and anything.
*He has become attached to his blue Meinky (spell check please) blanket.
*He will stand up not holding onto things, but won't walk yet.
*He grinds the teeth that he does have. I drives Nick and I nuts.
*He is sleeping for 12 hours straight! Seriously from 8-8. THis might be normal for kids, but its a new thing for Bentley and we love it!
*He also is taking 2 great naps. (so is mom)
*He loves his bath time. He kicks so hard that water goes everywhere.
*Loves to talk on the phone to his Daddy. (consists of daddy talking Bentley just jabberinng).

He is advancing so well it seems. Everyday he turns over a new leaf. We are so greatful for him.

Oops!



I have see Bentley reach into his toy box so many times and fall in. I think it is so cute an have wanted to blog about it, but haven't had my camera handy. Today I did and I got hime crying inside his toy box. His little belly was all that was holding him...his feet weren't touching. I hurry and snapped a quick pic and then got him out and he was so scared. Until he gets taller I have a feeling that this will continue to happen. :) Kids are great.

Bentley's First Bonk...



Bentley was crawling after his favorite ball and he put his hand on it and slipped off, face planting into the tile. He was bleeding pretty good and this was the end result. So sad! As a mom you never want your little one to get hurt, but it just happens. I just held him and loved him...I got the best snuggles ever! He is all healed up now.

Tangled up!




This is how I found Bentley the other day. All tangled up in the playstation cord.

Going in to get Bentley

Bentley Update!

Today he started clapping! :)
O ya and now he has 4 teeth, but it gets better he has the bottom from two and then the top ones next to where the front two should be. So needless to sayhe kind of has fangs.
He has been sleeping so good. 10-12 hours
He is gaining more confidence he will now stand sometimes not holding onto anything.
