Ben is really big into imaginative play right now so he was flying around the playground pretending to be a birdie and luckily I was able to convince him that the birdie needed to smile for a picture in between flights :) It feels sneeky but, once I saw the shots that I was getting, I was willing to trick him a bit!
I love this stage that Ben is at and, even though it is maddening at times when he won't stay still for more than a second, we get the blessing of seeing his little personality blossom before our eyes. His imagination amazes me and I love watching him play. Just the simplest things can entertain him for hours on end but, one thing stays the same, he loves having his mommy watch him and interact. I don't think I"ll ever get tired of that!
I am constantly amazed at how much older Ben feels to us now that Jacob has come into our family. He is such a little boy with his running, jumping, collecting rocks in his pockets and wanting to move constantly!
When he does stop for a picture I'm always drawn in by his eyes. Those crisp blue eyes and incredibly long eye lashes get me every time!
While Ben played, Jacob is so amazingly patient! He just rests in his car seat and either sleeps or watches what's going on. I don't know if he'll always be this easy going but I'm pretty thankful for it right now! Here are some of my favorites of Jacob in his matching Knuckleheads hat!
We live in a great neighborhood and as Spring approaches have already enjoyed a lot of walks to the park. I'm looking forward to more adventures or 'ventures' as Ben calls them and being able to watch him develop his independence and confidence in everything he does.
