It's Ben's birthday!!!! 
Happy Birthday my little dude! I wanted to remember what we did on your actual birthday since the celebration festivities wont be until the weekend. Let's see... today so far we woke up late. Mommy took the day off and stayed home with you, and Daddy called and woke Mommy up thank goodness, because you didn't make a peep! You had a waffle and some yogurt and watched Sesame Street on Mommy's bed while she got ready to go out for the day. Then after that we got your dressed in your handsome button-up shirt Uncle Clint got you for your birthday LAST YEAR (hee, hee) and jeans and cool shoes. It snowed yesterday, so it's COLD outside. We put your jacket on and then we drove to the Police Station in Roswell, where we filed a police report because some mean and dishonest person took your Social Security number and used it fraudulently. The police men that helped us were VERY nice, told you "Happy Birthday stud" and gave you high 5's! You saw a lot "fodder" (your word for fire, which any vehicle with lights on it is a fodder) or Police Cars while we were there and pointed them all out to momma. THEN we drove to the KinderCare where you used to stay during the day for about a year and a half while mommy worked. You were a little bit cautious of it there, you knew you recognized it but weren't sure why. Miss Shemia, the center director, held you for a little while and took you to one of your old teachers, but for some reason that really upset you and you began to cry and wanted to come back to momma. We saw some more of your old teachers and friends and the fish in the fish tank and then left and went to Mommy's work to say hi. Mommy's coworker Janice really wanted to see you, so we stopped in for just about 5 mins. Everyone told you how handsome you were and told you Happy Birthday and asked how old you are... you're one popular dude! You were VERY shy with some people, but very friendly with others. Your cheeks were bright red and you were starting to get pretty worn out from all that socializing! After we left there, you and Mommy went to head home and you put your hood on from your jacket and then you fell asleep in the car. It's nap time now...You're asleep on your tummy in the crib. 
A few hours later... After your nap you woke up, and very slowly I might add. 
You didn't eat any lunch for some reason- well just sweet potatoes, and then we had to leave. We went to your well child check up and you've grown so much! You even got to stand on the big boy scale today! 
You're now in the 25th Percentile, still pretty small for your age, but you're growing up! Doctor Greenwald said you're in good shape and told mommy lots of new things that you get to do now because you're in big boy status! You had only ONE shot and you did SO good. It hurt and you cried, but you got a sticker AND a Bugs Bunny band-aid. After the doctors you and mommy went home and you ate a snack and then you and mommy hung out by the front door for a little while and took silly pictures of your tongues. 
Daddy came home not to soon after that! You were SO excited to see him, so was Ally! We all ate dinner together, Taco Bake, and then we did an iChat with Grandma and Grandpa in St. George, UT and even though they live all the way across the country- you got to open a gift from them!!! SO COOL! You got MORE CARS! And cool ones too! You LOVE them already. You carried them around with you for the rest of the night. Mommy and daddy gave you a couple presents too, and because mommy was ill-prepared your gifts were wrapped in wedding wrapping paper, but you didn't care! Hey, at least they were wrapped kid! 
Daddy got you a tractor and mommy got you Elmo in Grouchland! You and daddy watched a little of it before bath time. 
Daddy gave you a bath and then we got you ready for bed. Man, you were POOPED by then- you basically put all of your new toys away and walked to your crib and started to climb in to go to sleep. Before you did that though we called and left a message for Aunt Clau who has the same birthday as you and sang to her! After prayers you fell fast asleep and quickly. What a fun and BUSY day! Your birthday celebrations this weekend will be lots of fun too, and the weather should be great!
Here you are saying "CHEESE!" and literally cheesing it up! You're a silly monster.
