Yes, it is December 4th and I am just now finishing Ben's birthday blog. I am having a problem downloading videos (which is the whole reason I am doing this). The last time I tried after 3 hours it said it was still downloading. So hopefully my computer savvy husband can figure out the problem.
Anyways, Ben had an excellent first birthday. It was filled with family, friends, food, presents, and of course, birthday cake! He was very timid with his piece of cake at first. He looked around wondering if we were seriously going to leave that huge piece of cake on his highchair. Then he put his pinky in. I had to give him a little help by putting his hand in it. He started to get the hang of the whole smashing the cake. However, I think he enjoyed being the center of attention more than anything else!
We had some very special visitors come for Ben's party. Phil's sister, Emily, her boyfriend Jon, and our nephew Eric, came all the way from Michigan. They came in Friday and left Sunday. It was really great to be able to spend time with them all. They also did an excellent job of helping to capture Ben's birthday with both the camcorder and camera. Our weekend together went by way to fast.
Ben's birthday weekend was a total success. We wondered where this past year has gone. He has grown up so much. It is hard to believe that when he was born he was 8lbs 9 ounces, and 22 inches and now he is 22lbs and 32 inches. That is a lot of growing in one year! We are so thankful to have a healthy, happy, child!
