When he cried at the hospital, it was hilarious because all the nurses would come running in to my room or call me to make sure everything was ok because this little guy had such a loud- you can't ignore me, give me what I want cry, that you thought he must be about to die!
I can't seem to find the picture I LOVED of him as a newborn, but this is pretty cute..
And then as Bennett grew, of course, so did his personality, and while I'm sure he has OCD and he is so particular that it drives me bonkers, he is just so freakin' cute, I don't know how you couldn't fall in love with him... Here he is on his first birthday, having his first cupcake with family! Bennett was a huge lover of food, in fact, all of his first words involved food: nack (snack), cacka (cracker), mmmm (anything he put into his mouth- sadly, once, he went outside and put dog poop in that cute little mouth- I only found this out because I thought hmmm, he's outside, what could possibly be "mmm" out there- so I checked in his mouth and sure enough, a piece of poopy! totally gross, I know, but a classic story I will be sure to tell his future girlfriends)
And just so you get a clear image of the 'true' Bennett... here he is just after naptime- such a joy to be around, as you can see!
But no matter what, Bennett has always been a mommy's boy!
Aww, so much fun carving pumpkins (although he didnt much care for the gooey stuff on his hands) Ok, so before I make this the longest post EVER... let me jump ahead to now.. my big almost three and a half year old boy who is starting preschool in less than a week...
He loves to do all sorts of 'boy' things, like yardwork with Daddy, building things, and playing with cars nonstop He is a little stud driving down the road on his tricycle....
At three, Bennett is a fish... he can swim, dive, and seriously hold his breath under water longer than I can... I have no doubt that one day I will be watching him swim in the Olympics...
My little man is growing up fast, and one day, he won't want to hug and kiss on his Mommy... But for now, Bennett is a perfect little boy who can't get enough of me and while it might not always seem like it, I am cherishing every moment!

Just an FYI- I am going to cry like a baby next Tuesday when I drop this little guy off at preschool for the first time...
