Eight months old!

It's pretty crazy to think that eight months ago, we had this little peanut at 6lbs. 14oz.

And now we have this adorable, not so little peanut who smiles and moves around and is just pure JOY

Playing the Africa drum at my office with Jim :)

He is mobile (kinda) and scoots around backwards :)

We love him, his cute little face and his awesome, positive personality!  He makes people smile and that's really contagious!

Um, sorry about my intense dilinquency... Here's a picture post :)

We are so blessed with incredible family and friends.  The weather has been gorgeous here in PA and we've been enjoying getting out into the sun and seeing nature :)  So sorry for the long lapse in pictures of Benson.

He's scooting and almost crawling, we think.  He now knows when he sees a camera to SMILE as big as he can.  It's pretty funny.

He has a fierce left hook - with Janton from Ind-nesia... Thankfully, all was forgiven...

Uncle Harry again

Hangin' out with the Hess kiddos - Elliana is SO not interested, her heart is with another ;) and Josiah, seriously, buddy... So cute.

Little Hudson really wanted to drum with Nate
