Generation 1 (Part 2)
When we last left off…
Max Bennet was born. He’s a musical, albeit clumsy, baby.

Chris goes fishing at the beach (like always) and catches his first perfect fish! It’s an anchovy. Its name is Alejandro. Alejandro the anchovy. Word.

Liz is overjoyed with her son. She’s constantly feeding, changing, and loving Max on instinct. Like every mother should!

Liz and Chris spending some alone time together after a long day.

Any alone time Cheri gets, she uses to play with horses. They’re practically attached at the hip!

Max ages up into a toddler! I say he’s pretty darn cute. He has Dad’s eyes and facial features, but Mom’s hair coloring. Quite an adorable mix. There was a birthday party, but all of the guests were too enraptured by Thornton Wolff’s facial hair and guitar playing to watch Max blow out the candles! Oh well.

It was also Cheri’s birthday on the same day! She looks so much like her Dad! But she definitely needs a makeover. No worries. I can handle that. Cheri rolled handy as her fourth trait.

Cheri with her makeover, throwing her wrench around. Because, you know, she always keeps a wrench in her back pocket. Because she’s handy. Duh. -Ends sarcasm-. The great thing about Cheri: she upgrades everything to self-cleaning. It’s fantastic.

Liz teaches Max how to walk. Hot dog shirt!

Cheri and Sam Sekemoto (the little toddler Leighton Sekemoto was holding in Gen 1 – Part 1!) are becoming fast friends. Perhaps it will escalate to a bit more? I don’t know, he looks like a girl to me. Heh.

Poor Wugglesworth?

Chris runs down the beach to his next fishing spot.
“Live. Breathe. Fish.”

Liz ages into an adult. She’s not exactly happy about nearing old age! Wrinkles? What? Where?

Cheri decides to obsess (just a little… okay a lot) over Jared Frio. She thinks about him all the time–even when she’s upgrading toilets! There are three problems with Jared Frio. 1. He’s an adult, almost elder. 2. His earing is creepy. 3. He has Thornton facial hair. Aaaah!!

Chris ages into an adult! So, his cheekbones are a bit darker. He’s still a handsome guy.

Max and Chris. They make quite the adorable pair. All those fish in the background are Chris’s part of Chris’s perfect aquarium LTW. He has 6/13 species now… I feel like they’re everywhere!

The very next day Max ages into a kid! He looks just like his father, despite the blond. He rolls light sleeper as his third trait (making it virtuoso, clumsy, and light sleeper).

Max decides he wants to learn how to paint, so I buy a VERY expensive easel for his room ($300 – jeez!).

Cheri and Michel Hart are apparently a thing. I didn’t notice until they started cuddling at his house. Michel is well… erm… uh… Cheri seems to like him

…but the second Cheri left to go home Michel was on the phone with another girl!! If you couldn’t tell by his outward appearance (I sure couldn’t) the boy’s a playa.

Max and Cheri trying to help each other do homework (it isn’t going to work – they both have foul marks in school in the homework department).

A whole room for Chris’s fish.
