It has been almost an entire month since my last post. I finally have my camera up and running, and I finally have pictures to post.
We are visiting in Alabama and it has been...a little crazy, to say the least, but it has been fun.
Bentley is 10 months old this month! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?
Well, believe it or not, my little baby is becoming a boy.
This month has been full of growth! Bentley's hair is growing back in from when it broke off as a new born and he is getting so tall! He went from standing to taking steps to walking and now he walks everywhere. He's getting pretty fast and it's so cute to watch him toddle back and forth from foot to foot.
Bentley's personality has grown too. He is a bundle of joy and exuding love. He gives hugs and kisses, babbles constantly and screams with delight when he sees me. His hands start waving and he squeals and makes a beeline for my legs.
He still only talks baby sounds but he can tell you exactly what you need:He waves Hello, and Goodbye
He asks you to pick him up by raising his hands high into the air
He points where he wants to go and waves bye bye to places when he wants to leave
If he doesn't want what you are feeding him he sticks out his tongue like he might gag and lets the food just sit there
and the whole time he babbles as if everything he says makes perfect sense and we all understand him. He is having so much fun playing with all the kids and finds them fascinating. While fun and carefree, he does however know how to assert himself when he decides he wants a toy. It's always a very quiet act, but decisive. He reaches over and grabs the toy, from the ground, from the castle, even from his cousin hands.
Bentley loves his Grandma, his Papa, his Auntie Sara the most, but he loves everyone else too. :) Here's a picture of Bentley playing with Auntie sara when she had the flu. Everyone got it for 24 hours except Grandma Miller, Bentley's Uncle's Mom. She held out to the end.
Jake loves being in Alabama. He's got Oreos and Snickers and Jello Pie and really couldn't be happier. Here's a picture of Bentley with his cousin. They are six months apart but his cousin is wearing 2T clothing! He is so big! Bentley's got lots of catching up to do in the size department. They play so nicely together. It's really cute.
Jake finished up his semester with two A's and one A-. We are SO PROUD OF HIM!!!! Way to go! Semester one is OVER! Semester two starts soon and Jake will have his big test. He's going to do great. We're enjoying this time of relaxation, going on dates, taking naps, we have to store up all this quality time and rest before we get back to crunch time. Jake is researching on his break so that he will be prepared to go back to school. :D Life is good here, everyone.
We celebrated a wonderful Christmas and the Miller family put on a wonderful Christmas program with the children about the birth of the Savior and we all sang songs about his birth. :D I know it's a day late, but Merry Christmas! May the spirit of Christmas, and thereby, the spirit of Christ, be with you all year round!
Love,
Our Family
