Birthday Boy!

Ben is one today! It's hard to believe we have known him for only a year. He has taught us more than we could have imagined. We are blessed!



12 hours old

January 2009- Twelve hours old

January 2010! Happy Birthday!

At one year Ben:
Loves to eat bananas and oranges
Weighs 20.5 pounds
Still loves his pacifier
Says "Dadadada" and "dabadaba"
Is loud!
Plays with anything he can pound or throw
Hums himself to sleep almost every night
Hates water on his head
Loves his Daddy
Points and smiles at each person we pass in the store
Screams at the vacuum
Drinks his bathwater
Is ticklish everywhere
Throws his food
Cuddles with Mommy
Fights each diaper change
Climbs the stairs
Walks like Frankenstein
Likes to be outside
Is opinionated and strongwilled
Brushes his own hair
Is not a fan of stuffed animals
Tries to feed people
Always wants the phone and remote
Loves peek-a-boo
Smiles all the time
We can't wait to see what the next year will bring!

Happy Birthday, Ben. The year has sped by and it doesn't seem possible you are having your first birthday. Wait till you see your birthday cake and the whole family celebrating. We'll have to teach you how to blow out a candle. Love, Grandma and Grandpa

Happy Birthday Ben! Just WAIT until you're TWO! Your parents are NOT going to believe all the cool things you can do by then--they think you're amazing now. Good job keeping your parents on their toes : ) from, us Zegar's
