Big Brother

Here s/he is, Ben's little sibling. Estimated due date: August 6. I attempted to label some important parts for those who can't understand what the heck this is a picture of... :) Ben will be sure to tell you if it's a little brother or a little sister when we find out!

6x6 Photo Tag

Charisse tagged me (I think - do you know someone else who spells their name the same as me?) so I went for the 6th folder in the My Pictures folder. It doesn't exist. But this is Ben's blog anyways, so I went for the 6th folder in Ben's Pictures. The file has pictures from June of 08, so Ben would be just barely a year old. This is my 6th picture. The "story" behind this is that this is Ben. This was how he was responding to picture taking at that time. The orange "ready light" would come on and his face would just light up!

Ben and the helicopter

Ben thought it the helicopter was SO cool, even though he was a little antsy about it getting too close to him at first... :)

Snow Fun

Ben had so much fun going out in the snow and walking around!

First Haircut!

Ben was finally in need for a haircut. His hair has been so thin that I've been really hesitant to cut it. I didn't want him to look bald! I finally decided it was time. We have the before picture and the after picture. He wasn't sure about the razor right at first but he sat there patiently and got his hair cut. Now he looks so handsome!

Watchin' TV

I know it looked like he's naked, but he's in his diaper, I promise! I make him sit in that chair to eat suckers because he can't get out of the chair very easily. It's a nice way of getting him out of my hair for an hour or so. Put him in the chair, give him a (small) sucker, and put on Signing Times or Animusic. He was so cute sitting in that chair I just had to take a picture!

Ben loves to read (textbooks)

Ben LOVES textbooks for some strange and unapparent reason. Neil likes to switch his position up when he reads to help him stay focused (i.e. moving from the couch to the floor) but when he gets to the floor, Ben comes running. And I mean RUNNING to lay out just like Dad. Then he wants to "help" read the book. We ended up giving Ben an old textbook that just wasn't going to resell anywhere, so we can usually distract him with that... :)
