Friday...

Benjamin was missing his cousin Emerson. He had fun with him, and he was intently watching Emerson as he was sitting up. Finally, today, after he thought about it for awhile, Benjamin decided it was time to try it on his own.
His Mama told him to make a wide base...he listened, and he was sitting up all by himself.
He isn't sitting up as long as his cousin, but he's sitting by himself!
Linz and I went shopping today...at this adorable baby store in town. She and Emily had gone shopping before Thanksgiving and put some things back for my little men...for Christmas.
The boys weren't suppose to know...it's suppose to be a secret...but Lindsey tried the training pants on Benjamin...

and he peed in them...

Oh well....Lindsey doesn't think Benjamin will remember the pants...and I doubt if Emerson will be reading the blog...
Benjamin rested awhile after one of his photo-shoots...
When he woke up, he was ready to jump... and jump... and jump... It didn't make any difference that he wasn't in his jumper. His mama put his Santa hat on him...
He knew he was looking incredibly cute!

It might have been a little bit large...
"Get this thing off my head," he told his Daddy.
He was happy to leave it on so he could say bye-bye to his Aunt Patti...
He winked at her...
He wanted to tell his cousin, GRITS, how much he loved having her, Liz, and Aunt Patti here for Thanksgiving.

We all enjoyed having them here...

We enjoyed everyone being here...

It's so hard to believe that everyone is leaving...I was so excited for Thanksgiving to come...for everyone to be here...

and now we're winding down...

It went by so fast...so incredibly fast...

but it has been wonderful...beyond wonderful!
