It's been so much fun watching Ben grow. He becomes more and more talkative all the time, particularly when it's quiet. Just last Sunday in sacrament meeting I was holding him and he wouldn't stop jabbering and kept opening his mouth and rubbing it all over my face (if that makes any sense). I couldn't stop laughing, so Carl took him out... it still took me a while to stop laughing. An interesting thing I've noticed is when he's making happy noises it's "dah da da da" and when he's upset and crying, the noises sound like "mah ma maa ma"... it's just not fair.
Sometimes Ben makes funny noises...
Sometimes we make funny noises too...
And sometimes, Ben dances...
This is my favorite picture of him right now.
Here we have Benjamin's first official baseball game, Byu vs. some other team who doesn't matter because they didn't win. As you can see, Ben is too focused on the game to look at the camera. Go cougars.
On May 3, Carl and I celebrated our 1st anniversary together. It was a perfect weekend, we went and had a couples massage, and Carl made me a video of pictures of us to music, including the song he wrote for me when we got married. It's a tear jerker. Maybe I'll post it someday. We also got to bless Ben at church that day. It was perfect.
On his blessing day, 4 generations. And Bill begat Bryce who begat Carl who begat Ben.
On April 24th, Carl graduated Magna Cum Laude from BYU in Linguistics. The night before, Ben only let me sleep 3 hours (enter tired eyes) and Carl was running a fever of 102.
