Benjamin`s friend Linus (ok, they actually have not met yet, but they are destined to be friends eventually) gave Benjamin the worm. There must be something very special about this worm, because Linus apparently loved it when he was Ben`s age, and we can not seem to tear it from Ben`s hands, either! When we hold it in front of him, he face just lights up and those little arms immediately grab for it.
The summer has continued to be very warm, so we took advantage of the day yesterday and hung out in the sun out in the yard. We will be going to the ocean next week, so I figured we better practice wearing his floppy beach hat from Uncle Freddy, anyway 
He has actually had these teeth for a little while now.. but getting a picture of them was the hard part. You really can not see them when he smiles, and I usually do not drag out the camera when he is crabby (and they show). Luckily, though, this was one of those times when he was happy and giggly one minute and cranky about 20 seconds later, so we had the camera, and we had the teeth!
