The morning of Benson's birthday, I went and got him a new high chair. It seems silly that he is 1 years old and never had a high chair before. Addy sat in the Bumbo chair until she was 2 with no problem, so I thought maybe Benson would do the same. Silly me! Benson does not sit still and lunges out of the Bumbo. I should have bought him a high chair a few months earlier!
First time in his big boy high chair feeding himself.
I also fed Addy her EVERY SINGLE MEAL. She ate snacks by herself but that's about it. With Benson being number two, I don't have as much time and I have started to have him feed himself. I have a love hate relationship with meal times with this boy! I love that when he is hungry, which is all the time, I can just put him in the high chair and he can feed himself. I HATE that he throws his food EVERY SINGLE TIME! We are still struggling with eating all table food. He loves it in the beginning, but will only have a few bites before the throwing begins. So I still feed him baby food one to two times a day to make sure he is getting enough veggies and fruits in his diet.
I love the mornings with this boy! He is so happy when he wakes up and is very fun to play with. These are a few pictures after his bath on the morning of his 1st birthday. Of course he has a ball in his hand ready to launch at me! 
-21.9 lbs 25%-69% for height

-His favorite toy is still a ball

-He likes to attack our faces when he is mad
-He plays peek-a-boo by putting his hands on his head
-He plays so well by himself but loves his sister to play with
-His new words are "Ahey" for Addy and "Ba" for balloon, bottle, and ball
-He loves to give high-fives

Cute little guy. Its fun that our boys are so close and going through so many of the same stages.
I can't believe how big Benson has gotten! He is such a handsome little man. I feel like I haven't seen you guys in forever! We need to plan a girls night really soon.
He is so cute! Can we plan an arranged marriage? What a heartbreaker...
What a cutie, he is such a looker! I love all this little faces. I can't wait for you guys to come so I can kiss all over that handsome.
In other news, I need updated pics for my office, house, and debit card of both your kiddos. Miss you!
He really is such a handsome boy. So smiley and sweet!
The difference between boys and girls cracks me up--that silly saying about sugar and spice and everything nice vs. frogs and snails and puppy dogs' tails is eerily true! My 9th graders prove it to me all the time.
Keep the pictures comin'! We love it!
Oh he is so cute! Our babies are growing up! You do such a great job with EVERYTHING!
