A downside to being a parent of a one year old, is that sinking feeling you get at 7:30 am, as you realize that just because you and the wife stayed up till 3 in the morning playing video games like a couple of teenagers, doesn't mean that you get to sleep in. The upside of being a parent of a one year old and one of the many things that make it all worthwhile, is waking up to his smiling, adorable face, inches from yours, as he pulls out his sucker, gives you two big wet kisses on the mouth, plugs his sucker back in, and continues crawling over you towards other pursuits.
You know you're a stay at home dad who's been binge watching Top Gear, when you dream of racing babies in an abandoned airport.
Because it's been a whole week since I've posted pictures of my son.
Because it's been a whole week since...
And this.

Baby elephants.
Sure it's a nice playground but not as fun as a log.
Nice day for a run.
Warm eggs or cold eggs. All the same to a toddler.
Hey parents, could you give me some meal ideas for Benji (14 months) please? Any ideas/recipes for snacks and pre made meals that I can freeze would be appreciated, thanks.
My little man is 15 months old today. I can't believe how fast the little grubs grow up.
We were practising our selfies.
My son's love of sticks has turned into love of logs.
What a ham...dad!
I used to carry a bag in the summer for my cigarettes and lighter among other things. Now I carry it for a juice bottle, wipes, sunscreen and a couple of oranges.
You won't need any syrup on your pancakes after you get a load of my son this morning.
90% of being a parent of a toddler is bending over and picking stuff up.
Beach day.

Benji, where's your milk?
A wee man and his cat.
B says hi everyone.
He does things he knows he's not supposed too just to get me mad because he thinks I'm funny as hell when I'm mad. The madder I get, the more he laughs.
Because it's been a while.
Getting his first haircut.
Happy anniversary Seantelle. It was 4 years ago today I brought you home from the shelter on that hot day, and you've been a faithful furry friend ever since.
Ever since seeing this portlandia sketch, I've been saying this to Benji, and he responds with a "yeahh" in the same voice. So we riff on it back and forth, "you're just a little guy". "Yeah".
A well read book is a book read well.
Because it's been a while, some of this week's fun.
Hard to believe our little boy is 21 months old today. He moves so fast these days that he's just a blur so I take his picture while he's strapped down in his feeding chair.
Benji went on a barrel ride at the farm today. I was so scared, proud, excited, and did I say scared? To see our little baby who has never been more than a few feet away from mom or dad, to go off into the distance. Lol. Dad survived. Benji loved it and took it all very seriously , like hey I've got some riding to do.
Good morning
Benji and I play with a big praying mantis.
Enjoying the beautiful day at high banks.
Happy Sunday.
Someone is two today! He got to open a present this morning before mom went to work.
Stockings hung with care. Or is that hanged?
I think the best way to describe a two year old is, they want to be everywhere and do everything all at once.
Drinking some of santa's milk.
