I can't beleive it! There's no way it's already been a year. It seems like I was in labor just last week! The way he's developed in the last hew months has been insane to me. He's a little boy now! He needs a haircut badly, but I can't bare to give him one, because it's admitting that he's not a baby baby anymore. Anyway, I'm working on that... he'll have one soon. He has got such a personality now, with a little bit of a temper. Who knows where he got that from?
We had 2 parties for him... a family one and a friend one. Our house couldn't hold everyone at one time. Both parties were great and Ben did perfect as always. He didn't really smash his smash cake but he loved it. And he help me open almost every gift without getting distracted.
At his family party, his daddy got the biggest surprise when his brother Ernie that he hasn't seen in over 10 years walked in the door. He came in town from Puerto Rico to find work. The unemployment rate in PR is over 50% right now. Hector was thrilled and so was I. I had never met him. There were over 20 people in the house. When we all sang Happy Birthday, Ben about jumped out of his seat because it was so loud!
Then for his friend party, we had a costume party. It was priceless. Pictures don't capture just how cute they all looked. We didn't really want to do a Halloween party, but we thought that it would be fun for them to get to where their costumes so we just did a costume party instead.
Ben got so many toys! Hector and I got him a tunnel, ball thing... i don't know how else to describe it. Mom and Dad got him a kangaroo climber set with a slide. He loves it. Angela got him the Wonder Pets boat. Sav and Caleb got him the WP phone, Mere got him some great clothes. And MJ got him a musical zoo that he adores. That's just to name a few. We almost can't walk in our den. It made us really appreciate the great family and friends that we have.
Ben is so on the verge of walking, so I may be blogging about that very soon!
