7 years ago our first baby was born, weighing in at 9lbs 9 oz. Benjamin has been a wonderful, fun loving, laughaholic!! He started smiling and giggling at like 3 weeks old, and hasn't stopped since! At about 5 months he was infected with infantile botulism (which in babies attackes the muscles from working), but has no complications or problems because of it.
Ben is a very active, crazy boy! He broke his arm when he was two by bouncing on the couch. You know, the kind of couch with the recliner in it. He bounced on it, and it opened and flipped him right over onto his right wrist where he broke both bones. He broke his left elbow while riding a brand new bike dad bought him... hopefully, but I don't expect it, it will be the end of broken bones!!
Some of Ben's favorite things are sports - baseball being first, basketball, soccer, football (and he would probably love hockey but since Dewey and I aren't big fans he hasn't seen much). He loves to play games with anyone who will play. He loves READING... if you haven't seen his book blog, check it out at www.benjaminsbookblog.blogspot.com He loves anything to do with Transformers, Batman - ok superheros in general. He loves cars, and especially motorcycles. He thought it was the coolest thing for dad to drop him off to school on the motorcycle. He loves camping and hiking and usually can hike anywhere dad is willing to take him. But he LOVES to talk, so hunting might be out of the question, at least for a few more years!
Some of his favorite foods are spaghetti, hot dogs, corn on the cob, fruit salad (yummy yummy), pizza and chicken nuggets. He doesn't really like cake or goodies, but we have started a tradition of fruit pizzas and he LOVES them!
He is the greatest at helping me. That might be from being the oldest, but he is really good at doing whatever I ask him. He also is really good at making people smile, and no one can be a grump long arund him. He really does bring in the sunshine and rainbows!
I love you Ben! You are an amazing example to me! YEAH!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
