Benjamin is 1 yr old!!

Where does time go? It seems to fly by. We get home from work, play with little man for a bit and then he is in bed and we start all over the next day. He is growing up so incredibly fast. Alot has been going on since our last post.

The last week of April we took Benjamin to the doctor for what we thought was an ear infection. He was falling alot more than normal, his balance was off pretty bad. When we got to the office, she said that he didn't have an ear infection and instead sent us immediately over to the hospital to have a CT scan done of his head. She said his head had jumped from the 70th to 90th percentile for his overall size and age. Because of the increase in his head size and a neurological change (the falling) we needed to look for tumors, fluid, etc. The results came back clear and everything checked out okay. However, that was the longest afternoon of our lives I think. We were completely mortified that something was seriously wrong with our ANGEL. We treated for ear infection even though there wasn't signs of any and he improved greatly.

Benjamin turned one on the 5th. He had two small family parties. He didn't really understand opening gifts or eating cake. He really liked the icing but wasn't really into having the actual cake. He loved being with his family. Playing is the most fun right now. We got him a swing, slide, and a set of little plastic golf clubs. He LOVES being outside those these were perfect. He carries his golf clubs with him most of the time where ever he goes.

He still has only 3 teeth. He has been working on 1 coming through for over a month and then we discovered yesterday that he is also beginning to cut his front 2 top teeth. He is learning to eat finger foods even though he still prefers baby food. He will eat snacks all day but when it comes to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he wants food from the jars.

We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy, happy boy. I will upload pictures in the next day or two.
