Benton turns 1!

I am so busy today getting ready to go to Lake Powell but I cannot let one more day go by without posting about Benton turning 1. I can't believe he is already 1. The time has passed so quickly. He is such a special boy and I am so thankful that I am blessed to be able to raise him as my son. He is so friendly and happy and he loves to play. He also loves trying to keep up with Jackson. He isn't walking by himself yet but he walks all around the furniture and he can stand alone without having to hold onto anything. At 1 here are some of the things he loves... He loves toothbrushes. He is always crawling to the toothbrush drawer to play. He also loves the toothpaste if someone forgets to put the lid back on. He loves swinging on the swingset in his baby swing and going down the slide. He loves the water and taking baths and showers. He loves to play chase with Jackson or anything with Jackson. He also loves to be upside down. He loves playing outside...It makes him so sad when Jackson goes outside to play and he can't go. He loves cars and trucks and he even makes little noises when he pushes them around. He loves books. He also still really loves good food (of course he does if he is my son). We celebrated his birthday with a big party on Sunday. All of our family and the Listers came. We grilled hamburgers, had cake and ice cream, and then Benton opened his presents. He really enjoyed opening his presents and he got a lot of really cute things. I am so thankful for great family and friends that we could celebrate with. Benton we love you. Happy Birthday.
