This was a picture next to the Yoda Fountain in SF. Kristina's husband REALLY wanted to be able to see this...I didn't even know it was there!
It was so fun having friends stay with us! Cant wait to visit them in Utah!
We took Benny to the zoo for the first time this month. I don't think he is quite old enough to really pay attention to most of the animals but he loved the petting zoo! He grabs at EVERYTHING in reach now. Went straight for the goats horns!
We will definitely be taking him again soon. It was such fun family day.
I have continued to take piano lessons. When I practice Benny never cries. Even though I'm not very good yet he seems to just enjoy hearing me play. And every time I'm finished I give him a chance to try and play. He gets really excited swats the keys for about 5 min and then he wants to move.
Uncle Kendall went to Hawaii for work and brought Benny back the cutest little outfit!
We went to a few graduation parties where we got to see a lot of Adrian's extended family which was really fun.
And he loves giving his abuelita kisses!!! He won't kiss everyone on demand, but her he always does! that kid loves his grandma!
Benson is so lucky to have two grandmas so close who love him soooo much! Grandma Usher reading him a little Dr. Suess.
One of my most favorite things to do is to SWIM! I have always loved it so naturally, summer is absolutely my favorite time of the year!!! Benson has been swimming a handful of times and I think he loves swimming just as much as I do. We bought a blow-up pool for the back yard since we live in the beautiful bay area and there is lots of good weather for pool time.
We also went to a friends pool party where he got to spend lots of time kicking those chunky thighs in the water.
Another big milestone occurred this month!....Benson started to CRAWL :) He skipped the army crawling and got right up on his hands and knees and just throws himself forward! Time to make sure everything is baby proofed! Everyone told me just to enjoy the time while he could move much, but honestly I couldn't help wanting this to happen! I know soon enough I'll be chasing him everyone cleaning up many more messes and with that comes a whole new set of challenges....but still.....I can't help but be so so so so so excited for it to happen.
Just the other day I was feeding him some solids and I spilt just a little bit on my shirt and said "whoops". Instantly Benny started laughing. He thought the word was so funny, I kept saying "whoops" intermittently as I was feeding him and every time I said it he was hysterical. Moments like that is what I live for! well until next month!!!
