Ben-a-saurus

Part dinosar, part godzilla, all boy (and a loud boy at that)

Pants - We Don't Need No Stink'n Pants

Totally Ridiculous

Ben kept trying to 'help' with the laundry so finally I just started tossing the clothes at him. He's so silly...

Give Me The Animal Crackers - NOW!

Just can't get enough of the animal crackers.

Hmmm, How Exactly Do You Open This Door???

Ben has now discovered the door and the concept of 'outside'. I never thought I'd be happy about the sliding door being difficult to open, but I think I am now!

Having More Fun On the Walker, Not In It

I think Ben has more fun playing on his walker than in it. He almost spilled head first into the seat at one point. I don't know what he was doing, but it looked like he was trying to climb into the walker.

Snip Snip! Ben's First Haircut!

Ben got his first haircut today with Miss Loretta!

The Before:

Snip Snip!

Say goodbye to those dark tips!

All Gone!

And After! Look at that blond hair!

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping!

Ben now rides in the cart at the grocery store. He was so excited about it yesterday he couldn't stop squaking and talking and laughing. Several ladies in the grocery store stopped to ask Ben what he was so excited about. Apparently he just really liked the ride... (Please excuse the ridiculous outfit daddy put him in yesterday. He just does it to annoy mommy)

Crack me up!!

So Tired

This was Ben's last nap in the infant carrier, after our walk at Wildwood. He has officially been upgraded to the big boy car seat. I decided it was easier to just swap out the car seat than mess around with adjusting the shoulder straps in the infant carrier. He hasn't had a chance to ride in the big car seat yet, but probably will later today.

More 7 Month Pictures

7 Months

It is very hard to believe that Ben is already 7 months. He has started out his 7th month by being able to do a full out, high speed crawl. Hard to believe that at the beginning of this 6th month he was just starting to work on the movements for crawling. He is now chasing Monster around the house all the time. He isn't fond of the pack 'n play or the jumper when he is in the mood to move, but he still plays in both for long periods of time while I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. His goals for month 7 appear to be mastering 'cruising' around the furniture, climbing onto the ottoman, climbing out of the crib/pack n play, and standing by himself. In just 2 days we have seen a lot of improvement on the cruising. And for some reason he thinks he is stable enough to let go of things while standing, which is not the case...yet. And monthly picture taking has become a 2 person job now. He won't sit still for more than 30 seconds. Good thing I have continuous shooting mode!
