8 Months Old

Another Owenby picture... THANK YOU SHELBY SCOTT!!! The pictures look awesome! Let me tell you... it is not a small task to get all 10 grandkids AND adults to cooperate!

Baby dedication at Liberty Baptist... thank you Grandparents and Oostras for coming to church to watch Benjamin get dedicated! When we were at the front of the church while Pastor Grant was praying, Benjamin was trying to get the Bible out of my hands!
First football game... ODU vs. VMI. We had a great weekend in Lexington and the weather was perfect. Benjamin loved watching the football game.

Benjamin has reached the 8th month milestone... it has been a blast the past couple of weeks. He is into EVERYTHING. Benjamin is crawling all over the place and has figured out our house is in a circular pattern. He does his laps everyday and comes into the kitchen to see what I'm cooking occasionally! He loves to go to the book display in the office and pull down some of the books. Benjamin will pick some out and we read them together. Benjamin is also pulling himself up on everything... chairs, small tables, our legs, and the sofas. We got him a mega block fire truck and he will pull himself up and then push the truck while walking. It is so cute.

During Thanksgiving week we had a full house. Susan, Chris' sister and her family (husband Glenn and their 4 kids) stayed with us while Sherry, Chris' youngest sister, came down and stayed in Williamsburg at a time share with her family (husband Hank and their 5 kids). Benjamin met his cousins for the first time and watching his face as they all came in was PRICELESS! He had an awesome time playing with them everyday and couldn't wait to get downstairs every morning to see them. I would carry him down the stairs and Benjamin would kick his legs and look around the corner to see if they were up.

We are enjoying the beginning of the holiday season and love to watch him discover the lights and the spirit of the season. We pray for everyone to have a wonderful and safe Christmas and we will post Christmas pictures as we get them. Merry Christmas!
