Baby Benton = Worst Birth Control Ever!

I'm not going to lie, I have had babies on the brain recently. It seems like everyone is having a baby except me! My boss is preggers, and so is my co-worker Teresa, my favorite cousin Shelby and at least a dozen friends on facebook are currently expecting, plus another dozen facebook friends who have had babies this summer alone, and I'm being overwhelmed with all the ultrasounds and cute pictures!

That's why I jumped at the opportunity to watch my best friend Chelsea's baby ALL day on Saturday. I watched him from about 9:30 AM until almost midnight, and even took the cute little bugger with me to my friend Emily's birthday dinner at Tsunami. He is not the best birth control in the world, since he is probably the cutest, happiest, most well-behaved 10 month old I have had the privilege of being around. He took all his naps like a champ, ate everything I gave to him and had a smile on his face the whole day. There was a brief moment of fussiness at the restaurant because it was his bedtime, but Bob took him out to the car and drove around for a minute and he fell right to sleep.



He isn't actually sad in this
picture, he's just woken up from
his nap

Now he is waking up and playing, sorry it's blurry

This is his worried face because he knows another tickle attack is coming



I don't know what face this is, but it's easily the cutest
picture I took of him that day

My favorite part was watching Bob with Benton. He is going to be such an amazing daddy someday! He played with him, carried him around, bounced him on his lap and even jumped at the opportunity to sneak away from dinner with my friends to change his diaper! While Benton is the perfect example of what all babies should be, he did help fend off the baby hunger a little bit by letting me have the baby time I so desperately needed (I will still play free baby-sitter any time you need me though Chelsea, I'm always willing for another dose!)

On another note, Happy 21st Birthday Emily! Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day even though I was dragging a squirmy little munchkin along with me!
