Apartment living is different than house living when you have a one year old.
Your couch is turned into a playground, your bed a trampoline, and your bath a mini pool. Benjamin's world got a lot smaller in the past month and we have had to be pretty creative.
The following picture flush is a mixture of our little cutie doing cute things.
I love sunglasses. |

So sleepy. |
Our poor Hank is going through yard withdraws. We make sure to take him out as much as we can. Benjamin is very into 'holding' the leash himself. So cute.
In our old house we weren't very close to anything - grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, ect. We are loving being near EVERYTHING!! Benjamin is really enjoying the fun fast food places we are near!
Last week we had over a few church friends to enjoy our apartment pool. Ben doesn't look excited in this picture but he really did love swimming that day.
He has also gotten lots of good sleep time in. It is so fun to see what traits your children inherit from you and your husband. Will is known to be a heat box and it looks like his son is following in his footsteps. I had to document his sweat head after a morning nap.
Like father, like son. :)
Last week we headed to Mckinney to see our sweet Memaw while she was in town. I could just kick myself for not getting any pictures of her. Boo Ali. We all met at the mall for some fun in their jungle gym area which happened to be closed for a whole two months for reconstruction. (I mean, does it really take two months to change/clean a jungle gym. Sounds like someone is being lazy to me...) Needless to say, Luke was devastated. It was kinda sad but kinda hilarious all wrapped up into one. :)
Tula came to the rescue and took him to Build A Bear. Can you say spoiled?
It was so cute to see him create his bear and fall in love with it instantly.
The tiny jungle gym had long been forgotten and to make things even better Tula bought us all tickets to ride the carousel.
Benjamin wasn't to sure about the horses this time around.
Before heading back to our apartment life in NRH, we met the family for dinner to celebrate our Molly's high school graduation. Benjamin swatted away her kisses but I know he has a deep love for his beautiful Molly.
Benjamin had a great time eating everything in sight and made a huge mess of his shirt. He loved sitting next to Aunt Amanda because she gave him food his tiny tooth normally doesn't get to eat.
Uncle Todd has already signed him up for Todd Dodge Camp 2022. Will and I are hoping for a scholarship so get on it Uncle Todd! :)
After dinner we were reunited with Daddy which meant lots of 'throw Ben on the bed' time. This is literally his favorite thing to do in the apt.
1, 2, 3.... |
WEEEE!!! |
Well that's what our life is looking like these days!
Even though this mama will be glad to be back in a house and have a yard...
Benjamin loves it and can't stop thanking me with kisses...
Nice stories about your child in your apartment home. It seems like he's very much accustomed to your choice of residence which is important in finding the right home just like with my leesburg va apartments
