Growing and growing

Ben just keeps on growing like crazy. I can barely lift him in the car seat anymore. But the bonus is that I have probably the buffest arms I have had since high school. This came in handy the other day doing yoga. I was all over that downward dog pose. ruff.
He started to try and clap his hands. It is fun to see him getting more aware of things around him and trying to copy it. He thinks Afton can do no wrong and loves to get a good laugh at her antics. Hopefully he'll use some discretion and not copy ALL her antics. She is into her mean phase right now. Not really so happy about it, but what can you do. She's 2.

They are absolutely adorable. I miss those two ...I cannot believe how big Ben is getting. I have now come to realize that the phrase "Your little boy is getting so big" is a mother's worst fear... I hate hearing people say how big Beckett is getting... Just stay little and sweet and perfect!! Too bad they can't stay our little boys forever. but yay for buff arms!

He looks more and more like his mother every time I see him.

Eliza was asking for him the other day. She saw a baby at the library and kept calling him Ben and asking to hold him.

I really had the same idea as Michael...Ben reminds me a lot of Abby... :o)

He reminds me of Abby as far as good looks-- the chunky part DEFINITELY comes from his dad-- I gotta find a picture of Jared at that age-- I have a funny one where he has triple chins. You have seen it I am sure. He is getting so big- we have to see him before he at least turns one!

what a fantastic smile that boy has! Very cute. And my two year old is quite the challenge some days as well...can you say stubborn! (he must get it from his dad, right??)
