We sang in September

"Do you remember the 21st night of September?  Love was chasing the mind of pretenders, 

while chasing the clouds away...our hearts were ringing, in the key that our souls were singing"

Earth Wind and Fire

September...September was an awesome month.  Benjamin continues to develop and grow, and is loving figuring everything out.  We did have our fair share of sickness.  I think by now, Ben has had everything an infant can get.  In October he is getting tubes in his ears, so start praying for Dr. Palmer and the anesthesiologist!

Ben is now weighing in at 20 lbs, and is 30 inches long.  He is saying mum-ah, but I think that is referring to food, and not me :(  Every time he sees his bottle or his food, it's  mum-ah, mum-ah, mum-ah.  We think he is trying to say PaPa - whenever I tell him that he is going to Nina and Papa's, he starts making the "P" sound over and over again.  Other that that, we still just baby babble.  

He is getting closer and closer to walking.  He cruises everywhere he goes.  He's already taken a few spills, but gets right up.  

So what did we do in September, that I remembered to take pictures at :)

We had lunch with PePa at Fred's, one of our favorite hamburger places.  Benjamin enjoyed avocado and PePa's ice cold beer bottle.

Benjamin and Baxter continue to develop, hmmm - what's the word, let's go with friendship, it sounds better.  Ben loves to crawl to Bax and pull whatever hair he can get as well as slap him really hard to pet him.  Bax continues to be a good sport, and for the most part, gets up and walks away when he sees Ben coming.

Football season started this month.  Ben loves to root on his Fighting Texas Aggies when they play.  His dad on the other hand, does not.

***I would like to note, that A&M beat Ole Miss last night, for the 2nd year in a row - Whoop!

Sorry, I digressed there for a second.  We ended the month celebrating birthdays.  We celebrated Cameron Cung's birthday and Ben's Great Grandfather's 86th birthday.

We went to Chuck-E-Cheese for Cameron's birthday.  This was Ben's first time, and I don't think it will be his last.  He loved the rides, loved Chuck-E, loved the pizza, and loved the birthday cake.

I love this next picture, it's Jeff's grandparents with some of their grandchildren and great grandchildren.  Happy Birthday Granddad!

One last pic of Ben celebrating Football season.

Oh and I forgot to give a house update.  The framing is done, they are about to start the stucco.  We are still on the April 1 move in schedule.  Here is a pic of Ben and I in his bedroom.

Ben turned 11 months this month.  He wasn't as photogenic as he has been, he was ready to play. 

I can't believe he is about to be a year old.  I guess in October's blog, I'll do my reflection of the past year.  I love you Benjamin!!
