Talkin' 'bout the Daycare Hotties

I know that this is starting to be "Benson's Blog" but compared to how cool Benson is, Mitch and I are totally lame! For example he was smiling a lot this morning so I got down by him and started to talk to him about the cute girls he'll be meeting in daycare. I asked him if he's going to flirt with them and what he'll say to them. To my delight he started to coo back and gave me a semi-giggle. He likes to make the "ahhhhhh" sound and the long "eeeeeeeeee" sounds with some "geeeee's." Now, if I told you that Mitch did that same thing, you'd think I'd gone crazy. Wouldn't you?

A few weeks ago my friend Amanda's friend (Abbey - AK Studio and Design) came over to take photos of my Benson. He was exactly 1 month and 2 days old and cute as can be. I wanted to post some of the funny photos and others that I like. If you want to see the pictures that she enhanced and made gorgeous go to www.abbeykyhl.com and look under "bellies and babies." She did a great job. The day of the photo shoot he spent a lot of time naked. I was peed on several times and even pooped on. Mitch ended up with a handful of Benson's bum stuff. I was surprised he didn't lose his lunch when that happened. Even though it got messy, the pictures turned out and as you see, we did have some fun!

Here are a few of Benson's favorite things: (Yes he did tell me himself!)
  • Staring at the dark walls where they meet the lightly painted walls
  • Looking at the photos of himself in the living room
  • Having his bum patted
  • Mommy kisses (that might be MY favorite, not his)
  • Tub time
  • Pooping while having his bum wiped
  • Sleeping in the Boppy pillow
  • Grandmas - they are the BEST
  • Chilling with dad on the couch watching Jazz games
  • He also started blowing little spit bubbles today - not sure if it's a favorite yet
  • And finally waking mom up to hang out in the dead of night!

I am impressed your photographer caught him peeing. That is hilarious. I love that last picture too. He looks like his daddy and is quite the cute kid.

Nick absolutely fell in love with Benson! It was all he talked about all night. He also told me that if you are going to bring him here again that I better call him so he can come and see him again!
