Cousins.


Happy Easter!
From Some Bunny Special,
Ben, 10 months, and my niece, Chelsea, 7 months

Ten Months.

It's been weeks since I've updated (and I've heard about it from Kim and Lesley, my faithful readers) and so much has happened! Benjamin is now ten months old. I can't even believe it. He's crawling like a mad man, cruising around, and even walks with his push toy firetruck that Cousin Debbie gave him! (Thanks, Debbie!) Unfortunately the video I shot this evening on my camera (since I can't figure out how to upload from the VIDEO CAMERA) is so dark, it's almost impossible to see. I'll post that one and when I get a new one tomorrow, I'll replace it. Little man is in bed now and would not appreciate being woken up to entertain Mommy with his firetruck!



His favorite pastime: Pushing his toy back and forth...back and forth...


He also likes to sit on the truck and have Mommy push him around. He grunts and tries to make it move when I stop!





"Hmm...that ball looks pretty fun..."


"Ouch!" Nibbles to the rescue!


"Daddy thinks these pajamas make me look pretty bad ass."

And the best for last...Ben FINALLY has a tooth poking through, as of yesterday, March 25 (for the baby book). I woke up and it was like Christmas morning finding a tooth peeking out from his smile! I was so excited, dancing around with him, when I suddenly realized that my baby is growing up. I began to get teary, thinking it was time for another baby, but then my glasses got pulled off of my face and a wad of hair was ripped from my head by my "sweet" boy, and I snapped back into reality!

Snow Day.

So far today, Northern NJ has gotten about 6 inches of snow and we are expected to get 4 more before the day is done. Ben and I had fun running some errands in the Winter Wonderland! Brad braved the storm and still went into work like the good manager that he is. Spring CANNOT come soon enough.

Our Courtyard


Ben, just happy to be out of the house. (I took off his blanket and cover so you could see his smiling face!)


In full winter gear


Nibbles missed us while we were gone!


"Mom, I'm DONE with these boots!"


"Now, can you PLEASE get this silly hat off of me???"
