One more month

I can't even describe to you how fast time flies by.  This time last year I was about 37 weeks pregnant, almost 40 pounds heavier, and very,very anxious to finally meet our first addition to our family.  Since we did not find out the sex during the pregnancy, we were very excited that the time to know whether we were going to have a baby girl or baby boy was soon to end.
Now, Benton is one month from being ONE.  Yes, he will be ONE..ONE! As you can probably tell, I can't even believe the fact that he has grown up so fast and man, time sure does fly by.  Within these past 11 months of his life, he has changed so much and will soon become a "big" boy instead of my "baby".  My baby is all grown up! Not really, but sure does seem that way.

Currently at 11 months Benton can do the following:
-cruising along furniture
-walking with support
-stand on his own for about 5 seconds
-talking up a storm with a lot of "dadadada"
-loves, loves, loves to play ball
-mocks every little sound we do like "uh-oh" and "eh-uh"
-knows what "no" means and certainly does not like it when we tell him "no"
-plays with Luna and chases Midnight around the house
-crawls with speed
-still in size 3 diapers, but thinking we are going to change that soon
-wears 9 month pants and between 9 and 12 month shirts
-waves hey and bye-bye

We can't wait to see what he will accomplish in the next month.
