Two Boys, Too!

Just thought I'd throw in a few pictures of what my boys have been up to.

Jaymeson has been taking up dancing.  He's working on ballroom right now ;).  The girls dolls have been his dancing partner while he's been dancing to our Pianos Demo Song, which our family has named, "Candyland".

He is also starting to fold and fly paper airplanes.  We might run out of paper soon, but he sure LOVES it!


Jaymeson is also being potty trained, loves Lightning McQueen and has decided to tell me who should drive EVERY car, truck, tractor... that we see.  He is a little ball of energy and has recently returned to waking up a million times a night.  Yesterday, we (hopefully) found the cause to be an ear infection.  He also loves to tell people about his "Broder", Benson.

Benson has learned how to open up pretty much anything... including someone ELSE's Brownies.  I mean, what else do you do when your mom is helping your Gran decorate?
Benson is also crawling like a maniac and getting into EVERY thing he can possibly find.  You got to keep your eyes on this little guy or he will disappear up the stairs, into a bathroom or into some unsuspecting food, toys or pretty much anything that could be considered "out" in any way. 

He LOVES anything electronic and loves to chew on cords... yet another reason to watch him closely.  We've had to move MANY things in our house.

He, of course, also ends up pretty deep in your heart because he's just so darn cute.


Benson, despite all of his snitching and sneaking food (and being fed a ton) is throwing up almost everything that goes in and has dropped from the 54th percentile to the 18th over the last 6 months.  He's now turning 1 on FRIDAY and weighs just over 20 pounds.  My lightest baby by FAR.  Most of my kids were 20 pounds by 6 months (Saryn was probably 20 pounds by 2 months).  Anyway, we will be seeing a pediatrician soon and find out what's going on.  He loves to have a bottle in his mouth at all times.  If he's fussy at all, he just needs to suck on a bottle for a minutes (whether it has anything in it or not), but until then, he's still just the sweetest little, oral-fixated, non-sleeper I know!

Oh, I love the ball room dancing! Too adorable! Jarom would LOVE to fold airplanes with him! It's one of his big things right now too (thanks to scouts).
Benson is SOOO adorable... and don't worry he "looks" like he's got baby fat in that brownie pic... but maybe it's just the nature of the picture that leaves that impression???
