7 Months

Our little beauty is 7 months old!
As I type she is chewing on my arm.  =)
Last night was very exciting, for me at least.
Every night John reads a few more chapters of a book we are reading (right now is catching fire) to me and she was up late and out of nowhere she said, "Mama"!!!!
Eeeeeek!
Then she did it again!!!
It's about time!  Let's just say we stopped reading for a mini celebration.
And today in her crib, she called me!
It always amazes me how babies go from not knowing how to do something and doing it once and then they can do it again and again.
Today she also told me "hi".
I always look at her and say "hi!!" whenever I walk into a room or just anytime she looks at me.  So as always I said, "Hi!" and she responded!
It wasn't a clear "hi" but after she did it again twice I am confident that is what she is saying.
She is progressing so quickly.
The boys, who normally spoil her are turning out to be great disciplinarians.
Mostly because they are so worried about her getting hurt.
They are firm, but loving when they take her hand away from a chord etc. and say, "No Amalia!"
No pictures this post, I am busy getting ready for the weekend.
TGIT!!!
Happy 7 months little angel! We are so proud of you!

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...

Beautiful Baby Shower

This past weekend was our baby shower!!  We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types.  It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca. I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us.  This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!! He definitely knows his Mummy!  The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy).  Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all).  Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each. It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital. Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive ...
