Nathan wants to introduce you to someone. He’s so excited to have a sister. Ben still isn’t sure what he thinks about her yet. I’m sure he’ll love her soon enough.
Benjamin’s First Steps
Benjamin started to take a few steps this week. Today we decided to let him try to walk to Nathan. They love each other so much that the walking ended up being a tickle and laugh-fest.
It sort of reminds me of Nathan’s first steps.
Benjamin’s First Birthday
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since Benjamin was born! He’s grown so much in a year. We don’t have a huge plan for his first birthday since Janell was just in Florida. They had a combined celebration for Nathan and Benjamin while they were there.
We will eat cake, play a lot, and have lots of fun as a family. In the meantime, here are two videos from Ben’s first day.
Benjamin and Ice Cream
We had to go to the U.S. Embassy today to renew our passports, so we also visited our new ihop and topped it off with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream at the mall.
I did get some tests graded, too, so the day wasn’t all fun and games.
Here’s a quick video of Benjamin eating an ice cream cone today at Ben and Jerry’s free cone day:
VIDEO: Brotherly Love
I love how Nathan and Benjamin love each other. Every time Nathan gets near Benjamin, Ben laughs his little head off. Nathan is such a good big brother, too. I hope they stay like this.
Janell recorded this video the other day, and I think it’s so cool how they get along. I’m sure the days will come when they don’t like each other, but at least this moment is preserved for all time.

VIDEO: Benjamin Moments
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a family video. These little moments were taken from December and January. He’s growing a lot and getting huge.
You can watch the video on Vimeo, too.
