Another new friend

Mama and Daddy got me another friend to play with in the pool. Mama cleaned him yesterday and got him all blown up for me...check out Whale!

I haven't played with him in the pool yet, but I'm hoping to this weekend! My Grandma Nina is coming for a visit and I know she'll take me swimming! I am anxious for her arrival.

All my love,
Benjamin

Just to catch up...

Its been a couple of days since we wrote another blog entry. It was a good weekend.

Friday was my Uncle TJ's birthday. Mama and I called and wished him a happy birthday! I made a birthday card for him, but I wanted to deliver it to him in person instead of mailing it. So I'm going to give it to him next week when we're visiting Omaha!

Saturday Daddy had to work for a couple of hours in the morning. The City Rescue Mission had a breakfast for some of their donors and Daddy got to be a host at one of the tables. Mama and I stayed home and played for a while. Mama tried to make a new food concoction for me. Yogurt and rice cereal. I don't really think I ate any of it, but it sure was fun to play in!

I have also come to LOVE goldfish. If Mama puts more than one in front of me, I try to put them all in my mouth at once! I'm such a silly boy! Well Mama caught me saving one of the fish she gave me for later! Can you see where I hid it?

Sunday Mama helped out in the kids area at church again and I went to the nursery. Miss Caroline told Mama when she picked me up, that I was the best kid in there that day! She said I deserved the gold crown for the day!

My friend Ainsley came for a visit on Monday and played games with me for a couple of hours while her Mommy taught fitness classes at the mall. We had a fun time and we got along even better than the week before! Mama had Bible study tonight so Daddy and I had a guy's night. He taught me how to do a pile-driver! I don't quite get it yet, but one day I'll have my moves perfected!

This morning Mama and I took Daddy to work before heading to Lake Hefner for our Baby Boot Camp class. We came home and started playing. Mama was working on something in the kitchen so I decided to join her. To her surprise, I started licking the wall! It reminded her of the movie Willa Wonka and the lickable wallpaper! She went to get her camera and when she came back, I stopped! A few minuted later though, I started licking the dishwasher! I love being silly!

Well, Mama and I need to get going; its time to pick up Daddy from work!

All my love,
Benjamin

A lot to show you...

I thought I should put another blog post because Mama has been taking pictures like crazy!

She caught me yesterday peeking into the china cabinet....there is a flower vase in there that has a picture of a baby on it and I was being very curious!

This morning when Mama and I came home from our second class with Baby Boot Camp (http://www.babybootcamp.com/ if you're interested in finding out what we're doing), and when we came home we discovered that Daddy was still home! So Mama took a shower since Daddy was still home. And when she got out of the shower, this is what she discovered...

This afternoon I re-discovered my fishy swing. Mama said that I'm too big to play in it, but she let me anyway since she was sitting right by my side.

The next exciting thing that happened this afternoon was a knock on the front door. Now this is a rare occurance at our house (except on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings now). Mama and I went to answer the door to discover the UPS man with a package for us! Yippee! We had fun opening the box but even more fun discovering what packing peanuts are! Inside the box there was a set of ceramic coasters and a ceramic coaster holder that Mama and I made in June when we went to Washington to visit. Here's what they look like...

The coasters in the coaster holder.

The coasters out of the holder. They are my handprints!
The inside of the coaster holder says "Mom & BMBC 6/11/07" (the date we made them).

Well, its dinner time and I need to get going. All my love,

The big 10 (months that is)

Well, I turned 10 months old on Monday! Can you believe it? Mama keeps telling me that I need to stop growing--I just keep telling her that it just isn't going to happen! ;) wink, wink

I had a good 10 month old birthday. My new friend Ainsley came over for our first playdate together.

Mama also put up a new bookshelf in my room! Now I have room to keep all of my books in one spot!

I've been drooling a lot more, my top teeth are pushed through a little bit! They don't quite show enough for a picture, but just ask Mama, they're there!

Overall, a good day! All my love,
Benjamin

The Home Depot

Last night Mama and I had a date trip to The Home Depot. We bought lightbulbs, "L" brackets (to secure my dresser to the wall), screws, bookshelves and braces (I don't have a bookshelf in my room yet, so Mama's going to make me one!) I got to drive the cart all around the store. I had loads of fun!

All my love,
Benjamin

We need your help...

deciding what to do.

To cut or not to cut? That is the question.

Up Close

Leave me a comment whether you think its time for me to get my first haircut or not. Mama and Daddy can't decide if they would like my hair to be shorter or if they would like to let it grow out a bit more to see how curly it is.

All my love,
Benjamin

BIG Milestone

I accomplished a BIG milestone today--Mama caught it on video:

Mama and Daddy say they can't believe that I am such a big boy! They knew all along that I was just waiting for the right moment.

Snuggles with Daddy

Yesterday, Tuesday, Daddy came home from work early because he wasn't feeling very good. Mama and Daddy think he may have a new set of allergies since we're in a different type of climate here in Oklahoma. Well, he arrived home during my naptime and Mama took this picture of us. I do love snuggling my Daddy!

All my love,
Benjamin

Helping with groceries

This weekend Mama and Daddy took me grocery shopping. When we got home, Mama let me help her put the groceries away. I decided to "clean" the refridgerator instead!

Mama is going to take as many pictures as she can. Unfortunately our family camera is on the fritz....so she's not sure how many she'll get. Keep checking though just in case she catches a good snapshot!

All my love,
Benjamin

Toilet Paper is Yummy!
