Thank You

Just wanted to thank those who sent Benny Easter gifts.

Mini Vacation

We were able to get away for a few days last week. We considered it a dry run for when we take our vacations this year. Benny is quite the charmer. When we checked into the hotel, he even got his own pass card.

Little Explorer

Now that Benny is more mobile, he is getting into EVERYTHING! He is quickly learning the word NO!

Happy Easter!

We want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Benny on the Move (again)

This happend today! I was filming Benny hoping I could get him backing up but he surprised me. He really likes my slippers for some reason, so I used my slippers to see if he would come towards me. He did!!! My little man is doing his version of the army crawl. We are so proud of him.

More Teeth

Benny is now the proud owner of 4 teeth. This past week his two front top teeth have broken through. If you look closely, you can see them. (I took this picture today!)

Then and Now

Benny at 7 months!

Benny at about a month old.

I was looking through some pictures today and I came across these. My what a difference a few months make.

Chew Chew

Benny likes to chew on many things. His favorite seems to be his socks.

Benny on the move!

Benny is becoming a hand full. He is moving everywhere but not crawling yet. He does get up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. He has mastered the art of backing up. Here is a video for your enjoyment.

Deck

Well, our deck is finally done. Now we have to wait for warmer and drier weather to actually use it.

Snow!

Last week we decided to visit Mt. Rainier and introduce Benny to snow. I think the pictures tell it all. There was ALOT of snow. Benny stuck his glove in the snow and then into his mouth. He seemed to really like it. We can't wait until next year when he can actually play in it.

Father & Son

Here is one of my favorite pictures. On the days that I work, Brad has been trying to get Benny to take a nap with him. It doesn't always work, but he keeps trying.

Sleepy Benny!

Here are some pictures of Benny in his crib. He hasn't used the sleep positioner in a while and I have not had to swaddle him. Because his mattress is elevated, he ends up at the bottom of the crib. We have been blessed lately because he is now sleeping an average of 10 hours a night.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry I haven't updated this lately. We have been busy. Benny has been fussy again (not eating well) and it looks like he is getting at least one if not two teeth on the top. So besides dealing with fussy boy, we are also having a deck built. The pictures above show the progress. Actually, it is 95% finished and I will post pictures when it is all done.
