So many exciting things have happened in the past EIGHT months!!! Holy crapola! Ben will be eight months on Saturday! He's getting old. We are on the look out for gray hairs. I will be THIRTY tomorrow. I guess, being 30 and all, I should stop procrastinating :) I will start with this blog.<br /><div> </div><div>Since the last blog, sharing the birth of Benjamin Thomas Everroad, he has made many great strides.<br /></div><div><div><div><div align="center"><br />He posed like a frog on his daddy.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254620517169402306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/SOwphStckcI/AAAAAAAAADc/OKNH7AuH6bQ/s320/HPIM1362_0006.jpg" border="0" /> He was visited, all the way from Italy, by Mama di Patrizia and her sister Lella and friend Sarah!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254621010773534786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/SOwp-Bh16EI/AAAAAAAAADk/egaRD9xCbuE/s320/HPIM1386_0030.jpg" border="0" /> Grandma Ronda came to visit from Nebraska!

But I better wrap it up. He is now a few days from eight months and he can laugh, cry, say momma and dadda, he can holla at me, crawl, go from laying on his belly to sitting up all by himself, today he pulled himself up to standing with the support of his toy piano, he has two bottom teeth and the two top teeth are starting to pop out, he has lots of beautiful hair and is just an amazing baby boy. I never knew what to expect or what to think about the whole "mom" thing. Now that it is here I can not remember any other way. I can not imagine my life any other way. What did I do with my time before he came along? I love being his mom and am looking forward to each new day with him, each new discovery and accomplishment, all the happy times and sad, EVERYTHING! Ever since that day back in May of 2007, when I discovered Benjamin was growing in my belly, my life changed in the most amazing way possible. A new love was introduced to me that I never imagined was in me.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6635495875458051124-3936325485065080968?l=raddestbabyeverroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15928116867914546224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635495875458051124.post-24268862514513338472008-03-07T10:48:00.000-08:002008-03-07T16:54:11.551-08:00Hi! My name is Benjamin Thomas Everroad and I was born on February 11, 2008. On my birthday I weighed 7lbs. 11oz and was 19 1/2in. long. Mom and Dad are both VERY proud and excited to have me in the world! Dad was sick but really hung in there through the labor. Wait a tic...mom really hung in there through the labor too!<br /><div></div><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSFQtVVqI/AAAAAAAAAAs/x7Q8z2vXj4Q/s1600-h/HPIM1330_0014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175078065907521186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 162px" height="240" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSFQtVVqI/AAAAAAAAAAs/x7Q8z2vXj4Q/s320/HPIM1330_0014.jpg" width="259" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><p><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSEwtVVpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PAkdlU1XY5Q/s1600-h/044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175078057317586578" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 153px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px" height="160" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSEwtVVpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PAkdlU1XY5Q/s320/044.JPG" width="193" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSFQtVVqI/AAAAAAAAAAs/x7Q8z2vXj4Q/s1600-h/HPIM1330_0014.jpg"></a></div><br /><p></p><p><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSEwtVVpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PAkdlU1XY5Q/s1600-h/044.JPG"></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSFQtVVqI/AAAAAAAAAAs/x7Q8z2vXj4Q/s1600-h/HPIM1330_0014.jpg"></a> </p><p><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YMK1-cO4MSc/R9GSEwtVVpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PAkdlU1XY5Q/s1600-h/044.JPG"></a> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6635495875458051124-2426886251451333847?l=raddestbabyeverroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15928116867914546224noreply@blogger.com2
