Oh my. He's growing up. Put a book on his head or something...slow him down!! I love the "Borry Mommy". We'll have to test out the porcupine and armadillo on our next phone call. I'm not sure I believe that he can say that! wink. wink. (Hey - I'll take any excuse to talk to him on the phone.)
Happy Half Way There, Benjamin! He is so handsome!
Happy 2 1/2, Benjamin! You're getting to be such a big boy!
Wow! It's hard to believe. I too love the "Borry Mommy" And I know how hard it is to follow through with the "little education" too... Wish we could get together! We miss you guys!!!
Wow! He's getting so big! Fun to hear what he's saying and doing! :)
