Ahoy Matey!

Today was Pirate Day at Ben's school, complete with a treasure hunt. I threw this outfit together this morning and Ben got very excited, especially about the scarf.

Eating Time...

Sophia is doing well with the solid foods...favorites include sweet potato, pears and the latest is fresh avocado.Num!

New Rain Boots

Ben has been waiting until the next rainy day to try out the boots his cousin Tyler gave him. Today was the big day...he is still adjusting to walking in them (looks like he's walking in ski boots:)

Excited About Atlanta!

Ben could not stop talking about our upcoming trip to Atlanta...everyday he talked about going to see Uncle Peter, Aunt Joey and his cousins Emily and Tyler. Here he said, "This is Peter & Joey's house." :)

Sophia Sits...

Just in the past week Sophia has been able to sit so much better on her own. She looks so grown up in this picture to me. Bittersweet.

"Ben the Builder" (move over Bob! )

Each morning Ben begins his projects and jobs all over the playroom - and you can clearly see the results in this video. Sophia and Sammi are avid onlookers to his exploits! FYI: He is building a windmill.:)

Jenny Jump Up...

Since Sophia much prefers to stand than sit I thought that she would love this thing...Ben never did much care for it, and it turns out she doesn't either! She lasts about 4 minutes before she starts, um, screaming. Oh well.:)
