Benno

Okay, this kid is a funny kid. He truly has been such a fun addition to our family. he has such a unique personality. This is his favorite past time.......


He sits on this rocking footstool, looking out at the......CARS!!! He loves to watch them and will do this for long periods of time. I have no idea how long, I get bored or decide I have better things to do while he is occupied.


Still there...still watching the cars.


All done, I am ready for a snack. And with that said, he is my worst eater EVER. He is so picky and strange when it comes to food. He loves bananas but is mildly allergic, so that is a constant fight. He loves raisins and craisins, he actually has his own container of raisins that he refuses to share. He loves sweet potatoes, little caesars pizza (gag) and mac and cheese...and the newest addition is rice. I put everything we eat on his plate and this last week he chowed the rice with gravy (can't be plain.) TADA...oh and I can't forget chocolate, this kid is so addicted to chocolate it is scary. He will eat it 24/7. Unfortunately for me Ady loves to give in to his fettish and I find him with chocolate much more than I should. So that is my Bennos food menu. He loves to wrestle and play with Dad. He is Dad's snuggle bear and was so sad when Dad was gone most of April. He is attached to his binkie and silky, will not and I REPEAT, will not sleep without them. He refuses to sleep in the car, thus no road trips lately...the last one we attempted he screamed the whole 2 hours. I almost got out and walked. He is a hilarious child, but when he gets ornery....stay out of his way. He can be pretty mean, ask Matt, though Matt deserves it 99.9% of the time. We really do love this little guy. He has Ady wrapped around his finger, they are the best of friends. He puts up with Matt and he likes Tanner but Tanner isn't too fond of "the baby"...LOL

He's so funny - the other night when Davis was over here with Bennett and Scott, we had some Swedish fish out. Bennett was devouring them, and I looked over and his little bottom lip was coming out and he was trying not to try. It was because the fishies were all gone. Saddest face EVER! So, of course, I ran and got him a big bowl full of marshmallows to make it all better(way to go auntie, right?). So cute!
