Between Christmas, Bennett's birthday, a double dose of pink eye, snow days, and my grandma falling ill, things have been nuts around here. Its halfway through January and I'm just getting Christmas photos up. Sorry!
We made our usual stops this Christmas, but this year, added a trip to Fairfax. We haven't been together with my mom's side of the family like that in years, so it was nice. My grandma moved into her newly renovated house this summer, so now we all have room to sprawl out. (By the way, she is doing much better than a couple weeks ago. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and things were not looking good for a while. Brooke and I were able to go spend a night there last weekend and she was already looking like she had some color and some strength back.)
Bennett was spoiled again this Christmas. Here's a list of some of the gifts he got:
-A massive train table
-Lots of dragon and dinosaur toys, including a jumbo sized talking dino and his fave movie, How to Train Your Dragon.
-A remote control car (with just two simple buttons to make it easy for him)
-A remote control Toy Story train set
-A remote control Thomas the Train
-A little push-along 4 wheeler
-Lots of books, Play Doh, pajamas and so much more!
His birthday party was at Grammy Kim's again this year. We appreciate her letting us take over her basement! We narrowed the invite list down a bit this year and just invited immediate family and friends of ours who have kids Bennett's age. I think they all had a good time at his dinosaur-themed party. Bennett's favorite part: the chocolate cake!
He is speaking completely in full sentences now, which is pretty dang good for a newly turned 2 year old. I've done a little better about videoing him, so I'll get some of those added soon. Sometimes he amazes us with the things he says and comes up with. He's too smart for his own good!
We went in for a 2-year check up today and he's over 3 ft tall which is in the 95th percentile for height. His weight is still on the lower end. I figure he'll be built just like Brian!
The twins are growing like weeds and each gained a whole pound in the last month. I've gained quite a bit myself! I blame the breaks from school and the holidays :) We got a couple of 3D photos of them last week, so I'll get those scanned and post them ASAP. Also, we have decided for sure on names: the girl will be Quinn and the boy will be Everett. We love both names and think they go well together and with Bennett.
That's all for now. Here are some photos!
