Benajmin is 9 months old!

Very hard to believe, but benjamin is 9 months today! He has really grown up in the last few weeks. He is always on the go as you can see here (and is developing a nice little attitude to go with it...must be the red hair) He is really a lot of fun these days.

Little Mr. Sunshine

We had a lovely weekend at the goldman house...including an awesome wedding (post soon to come on that) and time with grandparents and a cousin, new friends from the Valley and last but not least...a baby photo shoot with the 2 CRAZIEST stage parents ever - Mark and Marjorie (grandma). I found a cute baby contest online (from GMA) and am shameless enough to enter benjamin...BUT my mother and Mark have taken shame to a new level. These two nuts spent forever taking pictures and then proceeded to go online, peruse the already entered babies and talk trash! Mark and Marjorie would fit in great at a small town texas beauty contest. Little Mr. Sunshine here we come. Here are the pics...come back soon for more pics of the wedding festivities. (posted by Caroline - who helped a little with the photo shoot, but did NOT insult helpless babies).

Ben eats cheerios

ben recently discovered cheerios and loves to eat them. unfortumately, he had a hard time getting enough in his mouth at one time...until he quickly learned a new way to eat them. we are very proud of this resourcefulness and the fact that he loves to eat as much as we do! there are a lot of pictures here, but it was impossible to stop taking them!

Ben's new wingman - Isaiah

Benjamin's new BFF, Isaiah Philip Opot, was born on May 9th and we couldn't wait to see him! Ben's first reaction was a smile and then he reached for the little man. We presume Ben wanted to eat him, but who knows! We took a ton of pictures and had a great time just hanging out getting to know Isaiah. He is so sweet and has the LONGEST feet, fingers, toes arms and legs. We can't wait to watch them grow up together.
