Family Pictures

Hayley was wonderful enough to take some family pictures of us. Here are a few of them. I will post the rest later.

Meet Samson

I know I haven't posted in awhile but things have been pretty crazy. I plan on giving an update as soon as possible, complete with photos but for now I just want to post some pictures that I took of our new addition. I went into labor two weeks early and Samson Scott Cram was born on July 1 at 7:00 pm. He is such a good little baby and so tiny. Benjamin loves to give him kisses and tries to put his binky in his mouth. I can already tell that he is going to be so different from Benjamin. These are some pictures that I took today. I'm not a great photographer but I did the best I could.

Benjamin turned 1!

My little baby boy turned one last week on Wednesday April 6. This blog will probably be pretty long because I want to document this time for the future, since I have an awful memory. We had a little family party for him on his birthday with Hayley, Garret and the twins and Tristin, Brantley, Trent (Brantley's brother) and Patton. We also drove down this last weekend and had another little party for him with my family. I was trying to spoil him all day but he has had an ear infection so he was in a bad mood and ended up going to bed before everyone left the party. Trevor made homemade pumpkin pot pies and I made mini chocolate lava cakes for everybody. We figured it was probably the only year that we could get away with eating whatever we wanted on his birthday. I can't believe that he is one already. It really seems like yesterday when he was just so little and could barely lift his head up. He was so dependent on me for everything (he still is but now it's for entertainment purposes). He crawls all over the place and he is really close to walking. He has such a big personality and so much energy all the time. When he wakes up in the morning he spends a few minutes talking to himself in his crib (sometimes it's really loud and sometimes he whispers it's so cute) When he gets bored he usually pulls himself up and is just standing there in his crib talking to me until I wake up and get him. He does so many cute things all the time. I love when he spins in circles on his bum and when he shrugs his shoulders. He will eat anything we feed him (even green beans and peas yuck!) The older he gets the more I think he looks like my husband and the sweeter he gets. He loves to give kisses and hugs and when he isn't feeling good he will cuddle with me. I do think that he is going to be a biter though so we will have to work on that. I love him so much and I can't wait to continue to watch him grow up and I can't wait to see him with his baby brother. Here are some pictures from both birthday parties.

He was so excited to get elmo. He saw it in the store a few weeks ago and was playing with it. He was so upset when we took it away so now he has one of his own.

This is the best picture I could get of his shirt, he wouldn't hold still

The Cram Boys

Yes that's right, we are having another boy. I am slowly being outnumbered but I love it. I am really excited to have two little boys running around. We just had the ultrasound two weeks ago and he is doing really well. I am due on July 12 so I am about 22 weeks right now.

Almost 1

I love this little guy so much. I can't believe that he is going to be one year old in a month. He has grown up so fast. He is so close to crawling (mostly just backwards) but even though he isn't quite there yet, he can still move all over the house. I still haven't quite figured out how he does it, but he can go from the living room to the kitchen in like 10 minutes. He talks all the time and his favorite phrase is "no no" while he shakes his head. He has started to pull himself up on the furniture and he loves the shower and his blankie. He really is so fun all the time and even though he has way more energy than me and wakes up way before I want to, when I see him peer through the bars of his crib and smile at me, It's impossible for me to be mad at him.

This is his super cute snowsuit that grandma Taylor bought for him. It's so warm and comfy, I want one.


The mohawk

Umm, daddy dressed him. I think the chain necklace is the best part.

All worn out.

Benjamin is a very messy eater so a regular bib never does any good. We have to use smocks in order to keep him clean.

Benjamin the Dinosaur

So most of the recent home videos of Benjamin are on my husbands phone and I haven't figured out how to download them yet, but this video is awesome. We were in a restaurant and everyone around us was looking at him and laughing. As soon as I figure out Trev's phone I will post the other videos because they are so funny!

Home Videos

I thought that I would post one or two home videos of Benjamin because I think sometimes, pictures really don't show his personality.
