For every one photo we try to take, we end up taking about four. In two of the four, Benjamin is not looking or making and funny face, and in the third Scooter is in the way, be it an ear, a nose, or his tail. Wherever we are, you find Scooter.
This is what I usually have on the floor beside me as I work at my desk… Scooter sleeping, and Ben laying on his back, giggling and yelling at the ceiling light because, you know, it is funny… all the while pulling and pulling and pulling Scooters hair….
Hooray for us! Benjamin is FINALLY upstairs in his own room!!
A boy in his very own room. Good stuff.
It is time for us to start putting the rail up on the side of his crib at night. One of these days he is going to be right up and over!
Our proud little boy 
Ben has discovered BLOCKS, and they now are his toy of choice! As expected, I guess, his favorite thing to do is to throw them out of his reach and then have Mom fetch…..
I realize this is not a block, but I liked the pic….!
Well, it is official. Ben now (finally) loves his baths!
Note this crazy action shot… the splashing hand moving so fast it is just a blur!
This morning it certainly felt as though summer is officially over! It was freezing! Thanks to being awake for most of the early morning hours, Ben and I did not get out of bed until after 8 this morning. It was the perfect morning to stay in our pjs and bundle up in blankets on the couch with a good book!
We have never actually taken Ben to get pics taken and I have been feeling a little bad about that. So, yesterday I got him naked and put him on a blanket. That is what they do at those professional places, right??!
Happy Baby!
Shy Baby!
Naked Baby!
Baby!
Ben and his blue pup.
Ben has a second cousin (?) Cameron, who is just three months younger! Ben and I went to visit Cam and Michelle (his mom) a few weeks ago, and we got some cute pics of the two of them together!
We got a smile out of Cam!
Ben shared some friendly words of wisdom with Cam regarding squeaky toys, sippy cups, rice cereal and bananas….
Benjamin`s newest adventure is the sippy cup! He was desperate to get his little paws on our glasses, so we figured it was time to get him his very own.
At first he was not too sure which end he was supposed to actually suck on…
But he has gotten pretty good at it! He still gets a little surprized when water actually comes out… but he is getting there!
