Bentley Bear is 1!

 August 7th was Bentley's 1st birthday. We had a monster bash which we thought was appropriate because this kid is loud and wild yet adorable and a lot of fun!

 

This is a pinata we filled with candy and let the kids swing at. The 3 year olds were too little to do any damage so Brittney had to do the dirty work and bust it open. We let her keep the head as a prize. Aren't we nice? Actually, I really am nice because I didn't post the pictures we took of her doing a pinata with the little kids. You're welcome Brit :)

 

 This is the cute smash cake. There was so much frosting that even with Jayda and Melia's help he didn't even get to the cake.

A few things we want to remember about Bentley:
Loves blankets. He won't leave his crib without grabbing them. His favorite is a blue quilt that came with his bedding.
He can say mama, uh oh, ball, bye bye.
He can point out anything and everything that even remotely resembles a ball. Has a great throw already.
He is loud! He growls and grunts and yells. Everything is loud, there is no low volume with this kid. Just ask the ornery old fart we sat behind in church who asked us if we could stick a sock in his mouth. He wasn't kidding, he was dead serious.
Gives great kisses and is a good cuddler when he's tired.
He would pick his papa over anyone else.
Can't help but do a jello jiggly kind of dance when he hears music.
