Babycakes!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Just wait until you see how big I've grown!

Hugs

A quiet Sunday afternoon.

Happy Birthday, Grammie!

I wish I had more arms to hug you!

Vincent is Huge!

See what happens when you don't see a baby for four months? They grow!

Vincent and Mirela are looking very happy indeed.

Yummy Dog

After his cookie, Ben likes to gnaw on his yummy dog.

(It's good exercise for Old Chopper.)

Ben Movies

Watch Ben talk about his flying dog.

Yummy Mummy!

When Ben gets hungry, he turns to Dina's chin. Yum!

Ben Movies: Hard at Play

Ben loves his playtime!

Playing with his rattle ring

Playing with his soccer ball

Old Chopper is Coming to Stay!

Yup, Ben's gums are no longer perfectly smooth. His first incisor is poking ever so slightly through his lower gum.

Won't be long now!

Happy Birthday, Ben!

You are eight months old today! Sing and shout!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

One year ago today, we saw Ben grab his toes during his Week 20 ultrasound.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, our little leprechaun!

Baby's First Cold

Ben has a chest cold, and the saddest little wet cough. He sounds much older than his age. Fortunately, he's not running a fever and has no signs of any ear infection, according to the doctor, so we just have to let the cold run its course.

Poor little dude!

Master of the Three Dragons

Grammie sent Ben his first pair of big boy pyjamas. With a little dragon, a flying dragon, and a firebreathing dragon.

Exersaucer Close-Up

As you can see, Ben is amused and fascinated by the toys on his exersaucer:

Happy Fun Bubble Time!

Ben's bath was extra bubbly last night!

Nap on Pop

My goodness, but there are a lot of pictures of Ben and I napping together. Dina must think we look especially cute...

Peaceful Co-existence

Ben and Woody have learned the value of community and catnaps.

Hammer Time!

Ben likes his new toy hammer, thanks to the good folks at Grandpa's construction site!
